Bullying display

Come in and have a look at our Anti-Bullying display. We made:

1.  helping hands to show that everyone has a role to play in preventing and responding to bullying situations

2. waka which signified working together to prevent bullying, heading in the same direction and cooperating for a common goal

3. posters which unpacked the ideas of forgiveness, perseverance, creativity, gratitude, kindness and bravery

4. whatu pokaka, which are baby blankets lined with feathers to make us feel warm, comfortable, safe and secure from the elements, and ours show what happens at our school to make us feel valued and that we have a sense of belonging.

What is bullying?

Bullying is being mean to someone over and over again. It can happen online (cyber bullying) or face to face (either physical or mental). Examples of bullying are laughing at someone, punching someone or swearing at someone.

What can we do about bullying?

If you see others being bullied you could stick up for them or you could defend them. It is really important to say stop! When you are being bullied you could walk away. If the bullying continues you should tell an adult. Make sure that if you see someone being bullied you help them. It is not ok to be a bystander.

Be a proud person, not an easy target.

We did some role playing about what to do if we see bullying.
