Managing Conflict

'Friendship' By Ross, Loch Primary School

To date, we have delivered two six-week programmes, working with three P7 classes in South Lanarkshire exploring new ways of managing conflict. Using drama, poetry and artwork, pupils consider how conflict may be resolved within the school and wider community, prior to presenting their findings in short performance pieces for parents and peers. So successful has the programme been that the local authority now plans to deliver these programmes on an annual basis.

What's Wrong with Me? By Christopher Loch Primary School

I don't blame anybody for what is going wrong with me.
I'm not sure what it is except I'm just plain me.
Maybe it's my looks - oh I remember,
I don't have any.
Maybe it's my height - people say I am average,
But I think I'm above.
Maybe it's my dress sense - oh what?
I don't have one?
It might be my sensitivity - it's a bit over the top.
Maybe it's my gas problem - it really does stink!!!
So people - what's wrong with me!!!

"Thank you. It was great to see the issue of conflict resolution taught so well through the medium of drama".
