What is bullying?

As part of our ongoing Positive Education programme and 'New Zealand Bullying Free Week', we have been learning about bullying. We started with a brainstorm of our questions.

We then watched Oat the Goat, a video about how a goat helps others that are being bullied. It captures what bullying is, what to do if we see bullying and what it feels like to be bullied. 



At different points throughout the video, we paused to discuss which options Oat the Goat should take when he saw the sheep or glow worm getting bullied. We decided standing up nicely to the behaviour or asking if they are okay and inviting them to play were the best options.

After that, we answered some of our questions and talked about the difference between being unkind and bullying. We came to the conclusion that bullying is when someone is being unkind and it happens over and over again - like every single day.


Tautoru then split off into our Writing groups to do some writing about what we learnt. Some wrote explanations in their books, some brainstormed some posters about bullying, while others made paper chains about what we could say when we see bullying.
