Anti-Bullying Week is right around the corner, and this year’s theme is “Choose Respect” 🫡 When disputes arise among children, insults and rudeness can sometimes follow 🤬 and it’s vital for us to show them a better way.

A teacher has been assaulted by a teenager.

So often, it's immediately followed by:
"The needs haven't been met"
"The resources aren't in place"
"Not enough support"
"Silly rules"
"What did the teacher do/not do?"

Not:
"Is the teacher ok?"
"What impact has this had on the teacher?"
"What impact has this had on other students?"
"There can be no excuse for violence"
"If we justify, excuse or normalise this, what happens when this child is 18 and goes out into the world? What lessons are we teaching them?"
"Is it right we are investing the vast majority of our time and effort away from the victim(s)?"
"How can we ensure that the concepts of individual responsibility and accountability are effectively taught?"

The Observer article out a few days back is thee perfect illustration of the above in action.

I'm gonna put together a cheap pack via @ANewChapterBks of 39 books for whole school assemblies. I've got lots of ideas but want to make sure I cover a range of values, diverse representation, showcase beautiful illustrations & span genres. So, what is your best assembly book?

Teacher:
Plans a great hands-on, fun lesson!

Student:
Slept for 2 hours the night prior because they’re addicted to TikTok

Administrator:
Comes in and notices uninterested, tired student and comments ‘’What do you think you can do for that student to make them more interested?”

Opened a novel to discover this. Would this not have been the sensible way to deal with the Roald Dahl issues?

Y5 have been working on these Amazon Rainforest birds. We thought carefully about composition, background, colour mixing, brushstrokes, mark making & the type of paint we used. We’ll work in our sketchbooks next week to consider the process & evaluate the experience and outcome.

@DeputyGrocott Our oldest son is going skiing with the school this year and we felt he needed some practise sessions. His youngest brother got a birthday present to also go along with his brother to attend these practise sessions… lovely gift and they both had great fun together x
