This week was anti- bullying week.  We completed many activities that allowed us to understand how people might be feeling if they are being bullied and what we should do if we see someone getting bullied.  By learning about the three types of bullying we now feel more equipped to recognise bullying within and outwith school.

Anti-Bullying Scenarios

We looked at different scenarios that could arise in the playground and acted these out.  We then had a discussion of how we might deal with these scenarios and what was the best way to resolve this.

Also, we created anti-bullying posters for homework and talked about what it means to be a good friend.  We created a ‘Good Friend’ recipe to remind ourselves what it means to be a good friend.

We also had many more learning experiences this week which we enjoyed.

• Gymnastics – We tried balances on the mats.  These included the bridge, the crab and the frog.
• Maths –  The squares and the rectangles focused on probability and chance.
• Writing – With Mrs Neil we looked at newspaper articles, picking out features of a newspaper.  We then wrote our own newspaper articles on flying penguins and a seal visiting a chip shop.  Yes! Flying penguins!
• P6B Assembly – The P6B assembly was about the Victorian times.  All of our pupils found this enjoyable and learnt lots of new facts about the Victorians.

They invented things we have today like the telephone and the postbox. (Calum)
