Our KS2 school councillors and upper KS2 school buddies were invited to join a webinar that was held with schools across Liverpool to discuss their understanding of mental health and if they know what is available to support school if needed. The children were given the opportunity to talk about and consider now people need different types of support.
We had a workshop today based on how we can be more resilient. Year 5 took part in numerous activities including: discussions on ways we can be more resilient, making paper chains and making a paper airplane. We even got to fly our airplanes at the end of the day! All of the children now know ways on how they can be more resilient in school and at home.
Today, we had a lovely visit from Buddy and a lady from NSPCC. We discussed how we can speak up if something is wrong and who are the safe adults to talk to.
Today, we discussed about how to be an upstander -someone who does not tolerate bullying. We then designed an Anti-bullying superhero! Look at their lovely designs.
We had a workshop based on speaking out and staying safe, with the help of Buddy the speech bubble teddy. Year 5 learnt lots of ways that they can get support, if they need it. It was a very useful and informative workshop and the children were all very engaged. They even got a sticker at the end for their hard work and involvement!
Today Orchid class have completed their first lesson on Anti- Bullying and have learnt about the different roles that people can take on during a bullying scenario. We discussed how it is not just the ringleader who gives power to bullying and how we can make sure to use our power for good.
For our second lesson we recapped the roles in bullying and acted out different scenarios. We then discussed as a class how we could solve each situation and take the power away from the ringleader and assistant. To link our work to computing we the designed storyboard creating our own bullying situation and showing how to solve it.
