This week, Woodpeckers took part in a workshop exploring bullying in all its forms. We used drama and improvisation to show the different forms that bullying can take: cyber bullying, physical bullying and verbal bullying.
We discussed how bullying can occur anywhere and how we all have an important role to play in ensuring we recognise when action needs to be taken.
One important thing that we learned today is the difference between bullying and being unkind on occasion. We discussed that bullying is when someone is unkind consistently over time, with the intent to be hurtful.
The overriding message was that we should all strive to be as kind as possible and to look out for each other. The children had lots to offer and all participated with enthusiasm – some great acting skills as well!
