Anti-bullying week

In Primary 5 today we watched the Newsround special debate on bullying.  The big question was; is it better to PUNISH a bully or HELP them? A vote was held on the Newsround website and 47% said PUNISH, 53% said HELP.

Our vote was 50% PUNISH and 50 % HELP.  We then thought about what we do here in school already, and whether each thing was a punishment or a help.  Here are some of the comments from our discussion:

‘If you punish the bully, doesn’t that turn you into a sort of bully too?’

‘The bully gets to talk to the teacher, and they help the bully to understand their behaviour, and understand that we’re all like a big family here.’

‘They need to know there are consequences to what they do.’

‘We need to tell them to stop and give them a signal that what they are doing is wrong, and help them to understand that.’

‘We can set them a good example, that would be a help.’

‘When they get to write a letter of apology it helps the person who has been hurt too.’

What do you think about this question? Would you vote for PUNISH or HELP?

 

P5 Message

Hello this is Ella and Katie coming to the blog from Primary 5.

We were just coming online to see how people were doing today in our school?

Today was the P3 Assembly and it was amazing! We’d love to see if anyone has been on any school trips or if some classes have done an assembly lately and want to share?

In P5 we have been doing Spanish quite a lot but it is very fun and very good.

We have also been learning about landscapes, rivers and lochs and how they start at a mountain. The very top of a mountain is called the peak.

Some people taught P4 some Spanish and the others went through to P4 to learn German from P4. In P4 we were learning different types of animals in German. In P5 we were teaching them numbers up to 10, how to say hello and goodbye/ good afternoon in Spanish.

BYE BYE! (Adiós)
