Anti-Bullying Week

We have had a great week exploring how we can be kind to each other, during ‘Anti-Bullying Week.’ This year, the theme has been, ‘One Kind Word.’ This was a great opportunity to create our own art work using Banksy’s piece, ‘The Girl and the Balloon.’ We enjoyed wearing odd socks on Monday and this opened up the discussion on diversity and difference and how it can be celebrated. All classes have considered, debated and discussed challenging questions around bullying: What makes someone bully someone else? What is the difference between bullying and an unkind action or words? What do I do if I am being bullied? What do I do if I am bullying? What do I do if I am the witness to bullying? As usual, the children have astonished us with their profound insights and reflections. A great week of growing and learning!
