POSITIVITY

9. Positivity
Looking on the bright side of life. Expecting something good to happen..

10. Positivity

11. This school is fantastic.
Positivity
Positivity is a mind-set, it affects how we behave and how we make other people feel.
Positivity can build people up!
I like your new shoes. That was a great story. Well done. Thanks for helping me. Of course you can play with us.
This school is fantastic.
Smile!

12. Bullying
What is bullying?
How does it impact on others?

13. Negativity
Negativity is the opposite of positivity and affects people in a negative way.
Negativity can damage people’s self esteem. It can start slowly and then it knocks people down!
Why do you always wear those shoes? That was a boring story. I don't want him in my group again. He's no use at football. You are so clumsy!
This school is rubbish.
Scowl!

14. Bullying Bullying is repeated unkind behaviour towards another person.
Bullying has negative effects on people.
Bullying includes actions such as:
Making threats
Spreading rumours
Attacking someone physically or verbally
Excluding someone from a group on purpose

15. What is Bullying? Rude Mean Bullying Not on purpose Hurtful One-off
Happens more than once, even when you ask them to stop or show that you’re upset.
I’m glad I don’t have spots.
You have spots on your face.
I hate the spots on your face.

16. Discussion

17. Which one is rude, mean and bullying?
I don’t like Justin Beiber's music and I think it’s only for babies.
I told you yesterday you can’t play with us! You are a baby who likes to listen to Justin Beiber! Leave us alone!
You listen to Justin Beiber! Oh my gosh that it so weird!

18. What to do if you are being bullied
Tell the person to stop, that it is not OK and that you will tell an adult
Tell someone (a friend, a teacher or your parents)
Keep the evidence and keep a record
At The Downley School it is everyone’s duty to tell if you see someone being bullied.
Think about how the bully is making them feel and if you would like it to happen to you.
(Empathy)

19. What not to do if you are being bullied
DO NOT...
Think it's your fault. Nobody deserves to be bullied!
Fight back or bully a person back.
Keep it to yourself and just hope the bullying will "go away." Make sure you report the bullying.
Skip school or avoid school or afterschool activities because you're afraid of the bully.
Don’t be afraid to tell. Telling is NOT tattling! It's the right thing to do!

20. Our School
We are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our pupils so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our school.
If bullying does occur, all pupils should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively. This means that anyone who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the staff.
Then:
The bullying behaviour or threats of bullying must be investigated and the bullying stopped quickly
Every attempt will be made to help the bully (bullies) change their behaviour
The bully (bullies) may be asked to genuinely apologise.
Every effort will be made to reconcile the pupils
Other consequences may take place such as loss of playtimes or Golden time, exclusion from the classroom, detention, a meeting with the Headteacher
In serious cases, suspension or even exclusion will be considered
After the incident has been investigated and dealt with, monitoring will take place to ensure repeated bullying does not happen

21. What will you do if you or someone else is being bullied?

22. Safer Internet Day

23. 41% of 7–11 year olds knew someone who had been cyberbullied in 2013.
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is when people bully others using an electronic device (e.g. phones, computers, through online gaming)
It can be:
abusive messages
unwanted content
impersonation
41% of 7–11 year olds knew someone who had been cyberbullied in 2013.

24. Cyber Bullying What is cyber bullying?
Sites/posts/pages that identify and shame individuals including “Hot or Not”
Images altered to degrade private individuals
Photos or videos of physical bullying posted to shame the victim
Sharing personal information to upset people
Repeatedly targeting other people with unwanted friend requests or messages

25. Cyberbullying
There are some things that make cyberbullying different to 'traditional' bullying:
It can be 24-7 (everyday and all the time)
More people can see and be part of bullying incidents online, for example: a photo that you can't remove
Online things can be copied, spread very quickly and go viral
Online it is very difficult, often impossible to remove things once they are posted.
You can keep evidence by screenshotting the bullying
People who cyberbully don't see the reaction of the people they are bullying so it can sometimes be harder for them to see the impact of their actions

26. What to do if you are being bullied

27. Making the Internet a Better Place to Be
The world wide web is a big and important part of our lives.
However, with great power comes great responsibility.
The biggest impact we can have to reduce cyberbullying is to model kindness and respect both online and off.
We must be those positive role models!

28. What to do if you see someone else being bullied online
STOP, SPEAK, SUPPORT vyxVQ

29. STOP Don’t share or like negative comments.
Try and get an overview of what’s really going on.
Remember there are often several sides to a story so try and understand where everyone’s coming from.

30. SPEAK Ask an adult or friend that you can trust for advice.
Use the report button for the social media it’s happening on.
Speak to one of the charities set up to help with situations like this, such as Childline.

31. SUPPORT
Give the person being bullied a supportive message to let them know they’re not alone.
If a friend’s being bullied online, posting or texting them a positive message can make a big difference. It may not solve all their problems, but it’s a good way to show them they’re not alone.
Encourage them to talk to someone they can trust.
People being bullied can withdraw into themselves. It’s really important they open up to someone they trust, especially an adult.
Give them a positive distraction from the situation.
Being bullied can feel overwhelming. Doing things with your friend may help to take their mind off things for a while, and can have a big impact on the way they feel.
If you can, send them some stuff that’s got nothing to do with the bullying situation. And maybe spend a bit of one-to-one time with them offline.

32. What would you do if you saw someone was be cyber bullied?

33. How to stay positive online
Ask yourself: Am I being kind and compassionate towards the other person with these words?
Re-read your posts or comments and reflect on your true motivation for writing it.
- Are you trying to get a positive outcome or are you trying to hurt the other person?
Think about if you’d be proud to say those comments to the person or group face-to-face. It’s easy to forget that real, live humans are reading the words you send into the online world.

34. Final Message
Remember we have a decision to make in our lives and on the internet.
Do we want to make the world a better more positive place or a more negative one.
What do you choose?

36. A quiet moment of prayer or reflection...
POSITIVITY

37. A prayer for all of us Here in our school
Let us be peaceful at all times.
Let our rooms be full of happiness
and respect for each other.
Let love be in our hearts
With kindness and compassion for all.
Let us remember
In learning together,
We grow together
And succeed together.
