Anti Bullying Week

This week we have been doing a series of activities to help us gain a greater understanding of what bullying is, how to deal with it, and how to prevent it from happening. In one activity we traced around one of our hands and then wrote on each finger the name of someone who could help us if we were being bullied. In another activity we drew a picture of ourselves, swapped it with a partner who then screwed it up. When we were told to try to flatten out the creases we realised that no matter how hard we tried, the creases could still be seen. This reminded us that the effects of bullying cannot be removed just by saying you are sorry. Finally, we sat in a circle and tossed a ball of string to someone else in the class while paying them a compliment. We ended up with an interconnected web of string to remind us that we all have a support network to help us whenever we need someone to talk to or help us.
