Anti - Bullying Week!!

Today in Falcons, we created a fictional character called Jo and discussed the consequences of bullying through this character. The children all got in to role and explored the issues and dilemmas that this character might face. We also discussed certain (not so nice) behaviours that some people show and what possible feelings they may have. We compared this to the metaphorical ideas that their behaviours were the tip of the ice berg (that everyone could see) but their feelings are hidden in the sea and are not so obviously seen or understood by others. The children created exceptional role plays where they were able to explore, in depth, the possible outcomes of telling an adult and not telling an adult if they were being bullied. It was clear at the end of the lesson that it is always vitally important to tell an adult that they trust if ever they experience such difficulties.
