Anti-bullying Week 2021
Last week was Anti-Bullying week and the theme was ‘One Kind Word’. The children started the week by designing their own odd socks and listening and thinking about kind words they could use. They explored friendships and celebrated how everyone was different! The classes used their PSHE sessions to talk about their feelings. As a whole school we came together to talk about gestures and kindness we can share in our school community.

Oak Class
Oak Class discussed what it means to be kind and how we show kindness to everyone around us. We discussed how our friends in our class are kind to us and the things that we do to include others.

Lastly, we created anti-bullying superheroes to show what changes we can all make to help stop bullying.
Willow Class
Willow Class focused on the kinds of words and the type of behaviour they would and wouldn’t like to hear. They shared and discussed their thoughts during PSHE circle time. We have created a rainbow of kind words and actions for display in our classroom.
