On Wednesday a man named Richard came in to tell year 5 & 6 about bullying. He told us how to deal with the bullies. He told us about the four types of bulling: cyber, physical, verbal and social. The golden rule was Speak Out and Tell Someone! You should not be the bully because if you got bullied you wouldn t like it so don t do it to others! Reporters: Emmie and Josh. We had a go at the toothpaste challenge. The children had to squeeze out toothpaste onto a race track. Then other children had to try and get the toothpaste back in the tube. This was to show that once unkind words/actions had been used, it was impossible to take it back!
