For this Diversity Day we read a book called The Colour Thief. It’s a story about depression, love, family, hope and the impact depression has on a family, told from a child’s perspective. It uses the metaphor ’Colour Thief’ to help us understand how depression can drain the joy and vibrant colour from a persons life, making their world seem grey and hopeless. We reflected on things that may make us feel worried or depressed and talked about how we overcome them.
We performed a small assembly in class to showcase all we had learnt and shared experiences and tips for helping us when we feel sad or worried. You can watch this on seesaw.
