Say No to Bullying

Every year, we celebrate Anti-bullying Week.

We take part in the traditional odd socks day, and have even taken the chance to design our own pair of fabulous odd socks. Odd socks day introduces the children to the idea that it's okay to be different, and that we are all unique. 

Our classes also take part in PSHE lessons focused on our theme of Anti-bullying. These sessions give students the opportunity to work with scenarios that allowed them to define and identify what bullying is. As well as how to be an upstander rather than a bystander.

In the past, some of the year groups have created kindness boxes to encourage pupils to write notes of kindness to other children in the school. These notes were then read out at the end of the week, giving students a well deserved boost. 

Children in years 3 to 6 thave taken part in a competition to create their very own Anti-bullying superheroes. These superheroes had incredible powers of their own choosing, such as being able to sniff out bullying, being able to turn hurtful words into kind words as well as creating bubbles of kindness around those being bullied. 

Our Anti-bullying week is a really important event that has helped make our pupils more aware of what bullying looks like, as well as what we can do to put an end to it.
