Anti-Bullying Week November 2015
16th November 2015
This morning’s assembly was based on 'Anti Bullying Week' the children watched a clip that highlighted what a bully was then had to answer questions in the style of ‘Who wants to be a millionaire'. All children were very sensible and agreed to sign a school pledge (below) that states "at Grange Valley we do not put up with bullies!" All children will be exploring this important issue within their classes, throughout the week. Year 4, 5 & 6 had an extra assembly so that I could introduce a website called tootoot. Tootoot is the first safeguarding platform and app used in primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, and universities, which allows students to safely report any worries and incidents of bullying, cyber bullying, racism, extremism, radicalisation, sexism, mental health and homophobic issues directly to their place of learning. The children in Year 4, 5 and 6 will receive a username and password by the end of the week. If you would like to know more about tootoot follow this link... https://tootoot.co.uk/.co.uk/
Anti-Bullying Week November 2014
Throughout the week all children took part in class activities, talking and thinking about this years anti bullying theme, 'lets stop bullying for all!'. Classes shared their thoughts and show cased work they had done around this important topic. We are very fortunate at Grange Valley as our children behave beautifully and the many visitors who come to our school mention this. Even though bullying is rare here we feel it is still important to educate our children in an appropriate way so that they can be equipped to deal with different forms of bullying later in life, if they ever come across it. When we talk about bullying we also highlight how important it is be be the best person you can be and have empathy with others at all times. If you want more information on bullying and how to talk to your child about it at home the following website is great!
Year 6 visited Haydock High School and took part in their 'Anti-Bullying' workshops during anti bullying week.
