This Anti-Bullying Week, we had the fantastic Bristol based company ‘Unique Voice’ deliver assemblies and class workshops across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. We learnt more about the types of bullying: Cyber, verbal, physical and emotional and how to Reach Out for help and support.

In our workshops, we acted out the different scenarios and explored how to ‘Reach Out’ using the 3 Rs: Recognise, Report and Resolve.

Skip2Bfit

As part of Children’s Mental Health Week 2022, our children took part in a Skip2Bfit workshop.
They learnt the technique that boxers use to skip by and then took the two minute challenge.

The skipping ropes they used had counters on them which recorded the number of skips they achieved.
Each time the children took the two minute challenge they were encouraged to improve on their personal best.
The whole school showed resilience and were motivated to beat their score.
What a great way to release the endorphins and improve our mood, energy levels and mental health!
Well done Our Lady of the Rosary. We are really proud of your resilience and perseverance.
 

This week was Anti- Bullying Week, across the school there were lots of different activities and assemblies where we reinforced the message of spreading kindness throughout our school community and about how our school approaches bullying.
This included knowing what steps to take if someone is being bullied, ensuring our pupils know what to do if they experience bullying and how to be an upstander.

We started the week with Odd Socks day, an opportunity foreveryone to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique!
We had some super sock combinations. Can you spot your socks in the photos?
We also explored this year’s anti-bullying week theme of ‘one kindword’, making a word wall of kind words we wanted to say to each other.
When we are kind, we inspire other to be kind and it creates a ripple effect that spreads outwards. Just as a pebble creates ripples when it is dropped in a pond. Acts of kindness ripple outwards, touching others lives and inspiring kindness everywhere the waves go.

Let us always chose kindness in everything we do.
