BULLIES BEWARE - 6L CARE!

During Bullying Week, 6L defined what bullying is; investigating where it may take place and who could be involved. We understood quite a lot about bullying, but decided to further explore the role of those who witness bullying in the playground. How were they involved?

6L came to the conclusion that those who witness the bullying of others', have (though not by choice) become involved in the situation. If they choose to ignore the suffering of their peers, then they are just as bad as the bullies!

To demonstrate the power of a witness who helps, we created our own movie: SAM'S DILEMMA - WHAT WOULD YOU DO? In which Sam, who witnesses the bullying of Anish, must decide which course of action to take... Should he worry about himself, or help his classmate by telling an adult?

We had immense fun making our film (even though it was a little chilly!), and 6L hope that you enjoy watching it... If you were Sam: WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Please be patient whilst the movie downloads!
