ODD SOCKS FOR ANTI-BULLYING WEEK!
This year, Anti-Bullying Week takes place from Monday 15th to Friday 19th November. The week will be launched with an Odd Socks Day on Monday 15th November, where pupils and staff will pull on odd socks to show we’re ALL unique and different, and to be kind to each other and respect each other’s individuality.
It’s a chance for Primary schools to mark Anti-Bullying Week in a positive way. The rest of your child’s school uniform should be worn as normal.
Little acts of kindness can break down barriers and brighten the lives of the people around us. This is one of the reasons that ‘One Kind Word’ has been chosen as the theme of AntiBullying Week. As a school, the pupils will be participating in a range of activities throughout the week, in line with our PSHE whole school half term theme of ‘Valuing Difference’. This will also include work on kindness, creating a whole school kindness tree, online safety and responsible use of social media and online gaming. We hope that the children will enjoy the week and find it valuable.
Mrs Moulam and Mrs Parsons
Our Prayer for Black History Month
Compassionate God
who sent Jesus Christ
to deliver us from all manner of injustices and inequalities,
create in us new hearts and enlarged visions,
to see the image of God in every person
irrespective of background, race and ethnicity.
May we be generous in our love of others
as we work towards ending misunderstanding, racism and injustice; creating
communities of human flourishing,
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

If you fancy sharing a 2 minute video clip about resilience with your children or young people, check this out -
I like what Beano says ‘Everyone sees my mischief, no one sees my emotions.’ Does that sound familiar? We may talk about ‘children’s behaviour’ and that it isn’t acceptable – maybe it feels a bit tricky working with a child’s emotions, this video might help with those conversations.Another recommended site with resources about Mental Health is Free practical mental health resources | Charlie Waller Trust.
We hope you find these resources useful! Please come and talk to your child's class teacher if you have any questions or concerns!
