Anti-Bullying Week
13th – 17th November 2017
The Anti-Bullying Alliance holds their annual recognition week shining a spotlight on bullying.
The awareness week focuses on encouraging children, teachers, and parents to take action against bullying. The theme for 2017 is ‘All Different, All Equal’ to celebrate that each of us is individually unique. We should all be able to be ourselves without fear of bullying.
There are various ways to get involved in the week from fundraising, to awareness in your school, or simply using the campaign hashtags on social media. There is plenty of information on the Anti-Bullying Alliance website, and here is a link to their resources.
We will also have a feature blog post on bullying in primary schools later in the month, so check back in for that!
Children In Need
17th November 2017
BBC’s Children in Need… need we say more!
As always there are numerous ways to get involved and support this great cause. Find out more on their website.
Take part in The Big Spotacular… “Last year, schools across the country joined together in one stupendously spotty week for BBC Children in Need and helped raise nearly £6 million. The nation’s pupils were so spot on with their fundraising that Spotacular is back for a second year! Here’s how your primary school can get involved.”
