Anti-Bullying Week

It has been anti-bullying week this week and we spent our assembly on Monday thinking about what bullying really is, using the Anti Bullying Alliance definition that bullying is ‘the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power.’ The children really thought carefully about what this would look and feel like and realised that they often use the word ‘bullying’ when they have actually just had a falling out with their friends and that sometimes parents do too. We will be sending home some further information about this in the near future.
