Anti-Bullying Week – Respect.

During this week, we have thought about what respect means, what it looks like and reflected upon a variety of disrespectful actions and scenarios. We have particularly looked at respecting differences and celebrated each other by sharing what we think is special about people in our class.  We have discussed embracing differences and what the world would be like if we were all the same. Throughout the session, we have looked at discrimination, diversity, equal opportunities, being inclusive and equality. Finally, we have discussed how a lack of respect can lead to bullying and reflected about dealing with this type of bullying.

Throughout this week, we will be reflecting upon ‘respect’ by studying the characters and their relationships with one another in the book Wonder by R J Palacio.
