Here are what some of the children had to say about the week:

"We all learnt that in bullying there are 3 main roles - the bully, the victim and the bystander. We focused on the bystander. As a bystander, you shouldn't ignore the problem as that's almost saying to the bully, "Yeah, I'm fine with this." and who wants that?!? We learnt that rather than ignoring what is happening, you should think about doing what is right - eg telling an adult or asking the bully to stop. As a summary - if you ignore the bullying, it may get worse, so bystanders should act to help out." - Ines

"We had a brilliant Anti-Bullying week, where we enjoyed lots of different activities. On Monday, we had Odd Sock day, where we came to school in odd socks and did a calming sock activity where you could either write words on socks or colour them. We also learned about Rosa Parks and the bus boycott. Mr O'Neill told us about her and how people like her were treated differently because of their skin. It was crazy to hear! On two afternoons during the week, we did some roleplay, where we acted out scenarios involving bullying and the various different parties involved: the ringleader, the target and the outsider (witness). It was fun and we learned lots" -Annapurna
