This week is Anti Bullying Week. On Monday, it was also Odd Socks Day where we had the opportunity to come into school wearing odd socks to celebrate and promote differences between each other. We talked about why it was important that difference and uniqueness is important in our our lives. We also created anti-bullying posters based on the acronym 'STOP' to highlight that bullying is when bad things happen 'Several Times On Purpose'.
