After a short
introduction, we all watched an extract from a video.
We discussed
what types of bullying were taking place in the video scenes.
What could
the children have done to stop the bullies?
The pupils
then practised and performed a series of role-plays.
At the end
of each role-play they identified the different types of bullying
that took
place and suggested what could be done to stop the bullies.
"This
is a play about Trevor who goes to meet a friend at an adventure
playground. Tommy and Rob are waiting by the entrance. Trevor
walks onto the adventure playground. He is stopped by Tommy and
Rob."
"This
is a little play about a boy called James,
who is walking through a park. Shane is a much bigger boy.
The two boys cross paths.
Shane slouches with his hands in his pockets."
"Dale
and Penny are on the playground.
Morris is playing on his own."
"Clive
is on the playground. He is on his own.
He is playing with a ball. He approached by three others."
"David
is on a bus going to school. He is upstairs.
Another girl and boy get on and sit behind him."
"Kenny
and Mike are hanging around on the playground.
Robin tries to get on to the playground. There is a teacher on
duty."
The pupils then went onto write and perform their own role-plays.
