During Anti-Bullying Week 10th -16th November, we had the opportunity to revisit how we promote kindness, inclusion, and a safe environment across our classrooms and playgrounds.
We had the pleasure of six pupils, from Hart Memorial Puppetry Theatre Company, alongside teacher Mrs Woods, create a Bullying scene within the playground, which they performed, during Assemblies, from Nursery to P7 children. They concluded with everyone joining in to sing the song, “That’s what makes you beautiful” from One Direction.
On Friday 14 November, we will have an Odd Sock Day in recognition of the diversity of our school.
Jim Freeburn, the centre manager came to collect it was very impressed with our efforts. I am also delighted to inform you that this is nearly 40kg more than last year - and this afternoon, we have even more brought in! Thank you to our whole school community for supporting this initiative, as we look out for others!
Pictured are representatives from our 2 groups who oversaw the collection - our school Council and our Rights Respecting School council.
