Last week, we did lots of work around our anti-bullying theme: ‘All Different, All Equal’, including circle times, drama, poetry writing and an anti-bullying workshop. During our Circle Times, we looked at the picture below and thought about the different roles that people might play in a bullying incident. You can probably pick out the bully and the victim, but can you also identify: a bystander, a possible defender, a follower/ supporter, and assistant?  We discussed whether all of these people were partly responsible for the bullying continuing. We also talked about how bullying can be stopped and why it is the right (though sometimes difficult) choice to stop being a bystander and to become a ‘defender’ (someone who acts to stop the bullying eg by telling an adult) instead.

We hope that you enjoy reading some of our poems, which were inspired by Anti-Bullying Week.

Poem by E

We are all unique in a way

and everyone needs to stay the same way

no body is better,

but nobody is worse

we have to care for others more than our self.

 

You are number one

and I am number two

but together we add up

and get the same thing

in both ways.

 

All though we look different

it doesn’t mean we should fight

just think over it

and notice we’re on the same side.

 

So don’t bully others

because no one deserves it

not even for revenge,

as you can see.

 

Just remember 1+2

and then think if you should fight.

Everyone deserves a second chance,

or even 700 chances.

 

Poem by L

You like Easter

But I like pizza

We are all equal,

We are all different.

 

You eat sushi

But I’d have something juicy

We are all different,

We are all equal.

 

I have straight hair

But you have it more fair

We are all equal,

We are all different.

 

You are short

Because we are all a different sort

We are all different,

We are all equal.

 

I travel by train

But you’d rather go on a plane

We are all equal,

We are all different

 

I like sleeping

While you like leaping

We are all different,

We are all  equal.

 

I do cello

But you like yellow

We are all equal,

We are all different.

 

I’m  good at reading

While you are better at leading

We are all different,

We are all equal.

We are all equal in Gods eyes

We are all different in Gods eyes

WE ARE ALL EQUAL,

WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
