Anti Bullying Week.




Stop and Think. Words can Hurt.

Have you ever logged on to somebody else's Facebook account and caused trouble? Have you ever logged in to somebody else's Facebook account and read their private emails?

This week at St George's, we are getting ready for Anti Bullying Week. Pupils in year 7 have been doing some Drama work with Miss Richardson and Mrs Smith, thinking about the effects of bullying and the feelings of the bully victim. Pupils have created extremely powerful pieces of Drama, using still images, freeze frames, stylised movement and contrast to create these powerful pieces.

ALL pupils have a right to feel safe in school and there is ALWAYS somebody to speak to if there are ever any problems.

We need to think about whether our actions would hurt somebody. It is very difficult coming to high school from primary school and it is extremely important that all pupils remember to include everybody as much as they can.

In English lessons, pupils have been getting ready for Anti Bullying week, looking at scenarios that have happened in the past as a result of bullying. More work to follow on this soon...
