From Monday 13th November to Friday 17th October, Oakridge
hosted our own Anti-Bullying Week where we took part in a range
of activities all revolving around the theme, "Make a Noise about
Bullying". We started proceedings with an 'odd socks day' on Monday to celebrate that we
are all unique before holding a special anti-bullying assembly led by a member of SLT.
During the week, the children completed a range of anti-bullying activities in the morning as well as taking part in a
special PE session involving the 'Pudsey's Bearpees challenge!' Each class also completed an anti-bullying session
within their PSHE lessons designed to support and encourage them to make a noise about bullying and make
positive choices. We explored what bullying is, the different forms of bullying and what to do if ever in particular
scenarios.
Finally, on Friday we united by all dressing in spots to raise money for Children in Need to show an act of kindness
to support and help others around us.
A lovely week was had by all, raising awareness around this important subject and showing our support to others
to promote positive choices in life. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it definitely got us all talking
about how to tackle bullying; we are very proud of the way the children approached the week and helped us all to
remember that we have so much support for each other here at Oakridge!
