The focus of Anti-Bullying Week this year was on the theme ‘Change Starts With Us‘. Whether it is verbal, physical, online or in-person, bullying has a significant impact on a child’s life well in to adulthood. Today in school we were focusing on Anti-Bullying and in particular ‘How to be Kind to Each Other’. The children wore their Christmas jumpers to school to highlight the fact that we are all different. In assembly Miss Richmond spoke about being kind to each other. God has made us all different and he loves each one of us and he wants us to respect each other. P3,4 and 5 sang the song, ‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’
Mrs Peden then asked for a couple of volunteers to decorate Christmas jumpers. Mark read a prayer and afterwards each child was given a little jumper to colour in, or write a kind or encouraging message on. The children passed these jumpers on to another child as a word of encouragement.
