Anti-Bullying Week 2014

What is a bully?

A bully is…

Meet SamYesterday I forgot my snack, and Sam shared theirs with

me

My neighbour broke her leg so I walk her dog and help

her carry things

I’m a Make-A-Friend

mentor at school. That means I help the younger kids when they’re sad

Sam always helps tidy up the classroom after

art and wet play, even without being asked

I’ve got loads of friends – everyone

always wants me on their

team!

Does Sam seem like a bully or not?

This is NicNic needs to tell us something

I’m new to the school. I only started last

term.

One of the kids in my class

doesn’t like me. Jo picks on me

a lot.

Jo makes fun of my accent and

lots of the other kids

laugh at me.

Sam’s one of the people

who laughs. Sam is Jo’s best friend.

When I started, Sam used to invite me to

play at break. Then Jo said I couldn’t play

any more.

Now Sam tells the others I’m not allowed to play because

Jo says so.

When I made a mistake in

maths yesterday,

they laughed and said I must

be stupid.I’m really sad and

lonely.

Thanks for telling us, Nic. That was really brave.

What do we think of Sam now?

I didn’t know that I was bullying.

I just thought I was having a laugh with my

friend Jo.

I guess I never thought how Nic must be feeling.

I don’t like bullies. I’m really upset

that I’ve been a bully to Nic.
