What type of person do you want to be?

A nasty person who puts people down? Or a happy person who lifts people up?

Constable Richard came in again to do some activities with us and remind us what bullying is, why it shouldn't be happening and the laws around bullying. We were reminded that:

  • Bullying is hurtful and done on purpose.
  • Bullying is not accidental. No one deserves to be bullied.
  • We need to all stand up to stop it, otherwise it will keep happening.
As we get older it is very important  we think carefully about what we say and do. We are responsible for our own actions and words. When you are older, you will be held accountable. 

We found it really interesting learning about the laws around bullying and how you shouldn't judge people by how they look. Constable Richard put up a photo and we had to guess lots of things about him. Lots of stuff we got wrong because we stereotyped this person. We learnt that it is wrong to do this. "Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover," said Constable Richard.


Constable Richard said a statement about bullying and we had to stand and either go to one side of the room where it said 'Agree' or the other side where it said 'Disagree'. If we kind of agreed then we stood in the middle. We had to justify why we were standing where we were.

Did you know there are laws against bullying?
1) Physical - this is called assault.
2) Stealing - this is called theft.
3) Damage - this is called wilful damage.
4) Cyberbullying - this is called harmful digital communications.
5) Threats - if you threaten someone it is a crime.
6) Robbery - if you steal or take something using a threat.

We have read the 'Wonder' book this year and are now on the 2nd book, called 'Auggie and friends'. This book had a big bullying theme in it and we all related to it. We now have a quote in our class that we say all the time. If you have read 'Wonder' you will understand. 
It is this:

  2. Even aged 54 I can get hurt by people being mean to me. I respond to kindness and thoughtfulness. When I am in the midst of a disagreement with someone or someone is angry with me then I ask them to work it out with me in a calm and respectful manner. How else can anything positive ever be achieved?

    Well done on your stand against bullying. No one likes a bully and you always find that bullies don't even like themselves.
