This week is anti-bullying week and Year 1 have been considering the theme of bullying across different areas of our learning.
Our fluency text, that we read daily, was based on our anti-bullying child friendly policy.
As we read it, we considered words we weren’t sure of.
several = lots of
on purpose = someone meant to do something and it wasn’t an accident
solution = how to sort something out
We spotted the important message of STOP which means two things in our school.
In our Living and Learning lesson, we used our inference skills and our school definition, recently reviewed by our school councillors, when looking at this photo to consider what might be happening and whether this is bullying.
The boys, who are standing up, are laughing at the boy sat down. We can laugh with someone but not at them.
The boy on the ground looks unhappy, upset and left out because his face looks sad and his head is down.
They are hurting his feelings.
We don’t know if this is bullying because bullying is when it happens lots of times (several) on purpose.
We discussed that if this boy is being bullied he should…
Start
Telling
Other
People.
The children then considered who they would tell if they needed to get help or if they were worried about something.
I can tell my family.
I can tell my friends.
I can tell an adult that I know.
I can tell my teachers.
I can tell my cousin.
Thank you to all the families who supported Odd Socks Day. There were all different sizes, patterns and colours of socks on show and it was great that the children could express themselves and celebrate their individuality while raising awareness of bullying. Here’s the Odd Socks Day assembly, led by CBeebies star Andy Day, which prompted lots of discussion within the class.
This years’ song performed by Andy and the Odd Socks is based on the theme of ‘United against bullying’.
We’re excited to see the childrens’ homework based on anti-bullying week. Here’s some we’ve received already. What great messages they are giving!
