Anti-Bullying Week (AKA Kindness Week!)
Pupils across the School took part in Anti-Bullying Week, or as it has been named in the Junior School, Kindness Week!
Wilamena Dyer (Lower Sixth) spoke to our younger pupils in their assembly, reading from Tariq, a tortoise with Tourette’s and using a piece of paper to demonstrate that once you’ve said something unkind to someone and the paper crumples up, it never smooths out quite as it did before, encouraging the children to think about the effect of their words. Pupils also reflected on the kindness shown towards them by others, writing post-its on the ‘kindness tree’ and Year 3 families received a thoughtful thank you card in the post. Years 4 and 5 chose to share books about kindness with their reading buddies, and pupils across the School wore odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique.
