To raise awareness of anti-bullying week upper school have created anti bullying pledges which they collaged into a "patchwork quilt". Students discussed the meaning of bullying and how to be a good friend! #AntiBullyingWeek #antibullyingweek2021

As part of their work for Anti bullying week, Ladybird class listened to a story called Starry Eyed Stan and made a ‘handprints of kindness’ page, adding One Kind Word.
