This year we kick started Anti-Bullying week with Odd Sock Day on Tuesday 12th November. Pupils and staff were encouraged to come to school and wear odd socks to celbrate the fact that everyone is different and unique. Have a look at some of the socks below!
At assembly, we also discussed ‘make a change’ the theme for this year’s Anti-Bullying week and how easy it is for a small change to make a big difference to someone.
Small changes to make include
- saying hello, please and thank you
- smiling more
- including people in your games
- treating others how you want to be treated
- think before you speak and act
