Anti-bullying Ambassadors 2017/18

With a new term comes a new group of Anti-bullying ambassadors.

This term we have been focussing on the theme of this year’s anti-bullying week, “All Equal, All Different”.

As well as helping to present with Mrs Madsen in assembly at the beginning of the week, the children also presented a slideshow about ‘Disablism’ – using disablist language, and how it is just as wrong as racism and sexism.

They plan to do a slightly different version of this with the younger children very soon.

We have been practising ‘Hot Seating’, assuming the role of people with disabilities, and preparing to take questions from the ‘audience’. This was not used, as time did not allow for it in assembly, but the children learned to consider how it would feel to be ‘different’. We will use this format throughout the year in key stage assemblies, until everybody has had a turn at being in the hot seat.

After Christmas, we will be looking at how one ‘Random Act of Kindness’ can turn somebody’s day around.
