Anti-Bullying Week
What is Anti-Bullying Week? Anti-Bullying Week is a week every year where we learn more about what bullying is and how we can stop it from happening. During this week (and throughout the year) we encourage all children, teachers and parents to take action against bullying.
What is Anti-Bullying Week According to the NSPCC Bullying is behaviour that hurts someone else. It can happen anywhere – at school, at home or online. It’s usually repeated over a long period of time.
Types of Bullying Physical bullying is when the body is used to hurt some (punching, pushing, kicking, or damaging someone’s property). Verbal bullying uses words to hurt someone else (name calling, making mean comments). Indirect bullying is bullying someone behind their back (excluding people from groups, spreading rumours, silent treatment). Online bullying is bullying that takes place online (nasty messages/texts, mean comments)
What can you do? If you know that you’re being bullied the best thing to do is tell a trusted adult. If you see someone else being bullied, you should tell a trusted adult. They could be a teacher, a parent/guardian or another adult you trust.
WHO COULD WE SPEAK TO IN OUR SCHOOL?
A group of children are spreading cruel and mean rumours about a pupil in your class. You know they are not true and they would really upset this person. What should you do? Why?
A boy went to a birthday party at the weekend. One of the other children took a video of him getting hit in the face with a ball. The boy didn’t like the video, he asked them to delete it. Instead, they posted it online and soon after, people made nasty comments under the video making fun of the boy. What should you do? Why?
A girl receives nasty messages from other pupils in her class on Whats. App, but she ignores them. When she comes into school the next day, the same pupils start to call her names on the playground. What should you do? Why?
Review Tell a trusted adult if you’re being bullied or you have witnessed bullying. Remember to be kind towards others both on and offline. If you think there is anything we can do in school to improve how we deal with bullying, please speak to your teachers or head teacher.
