Hello, my name is Ms. Willow and I'm so excited to be your teacher for today's lesson.

Today's lesson is called "Bullying at school" and it fits into the unit "Healthy relationships: How can we stop bullying?" During this lesson, we're going to be talking a little bit about bullying, so we recommend that you have an adult with you for the duration of this lesson.

If at any point you do feel worried or uncomfortable, it's really important that you close the screen and that you go and speak to a trusted adult.

Okay, let's make a start on today's learning.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to explain why bullying is bad.

Before we get started with today's learning, we need to go over some ground rules.

These help to make sure that everyone feels safe and comfortable throughout today's lesson.

First of all, we have Laura.

Laura tells us that we need to listen to others.

This means we're not going to interrupt other people if they're speaking.

Andeep says we need to respect each other's privacy.

This means we're not going to ask anyone any personal questions, as this can make some people feel uncomfortable.

Jacob says, "No judgement ." This means if someone chooses to share a story, experience, or a feeling, we're not going to judge them for it.

And finally, Izzy says that we can choose our level of participation.

This means it's up to us how much we want to join in.

We're now going to go through the keywords for today's learning.

These are gonna come up quite a few times in today's lesson, so it's really important that we have a good understanding of what each of our keywords means.

First of all, we have the word bullying.

Bullying is when someone repeatedly uses mean words or actions to hurt, scare, or make someone feel bad on purpose.

Upset.

This means feeling sad, worried, or angry when something doesn't go the way you want or expect.

And finally, we have the word victim.

In this context, this means the person who's being bullied.

As we go through today's lesson, keep an eye out for these keywords and when you spot them, see if you can remember what they mean.

Today's lesson is split into two learning cycles.

Our first learning cycle is called "What is bullying?" and our second learning cycle is called "What are the different types of bullying?" Let's make a start on our first learning cycle, "What is bullying?" Bullying is when someone repeatedly uses mean words or actions to hurt, scare, or make someone feel bad on purpose.

When we say on purpose, this means that they do it because they know that it will make the other person feel upset.

If they didn't mean to upset someone, this would be an accident.

Bullying is a really serious problem.

It can look like someone or a group of people always picking on someone else.

This could mean making unkind comments, calling someone unkind names, or laughing at someone.

This would all be picking on someone and this can be a form of bullying.

Bullying can also look like ignoring the same person or always leaving them out of things.

This could mean leaving someone out of games, leaving someone out of conversations, or encouraging others to ignore someone else.

This could also be another form of bullying.

What do you think about what Alex says? Alex says, "If someone disagrees with us or upsets us, this must be bullying." What do you think? Do you agree with Alex? Disagree? Maybe you're somewhere in the middle or you're not sure.

Pause the video, tell the person next to you, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that Alex is incorrect.

Bullying is more serious than someone doing something that we don't like.

Bullying is someone or a group of people being mean to us repeatedly.

This means over and over again.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle.

For this task, I'd like you to decide if this statement is true or false.

Bullying is when someone calls us an unkind name by accident.

What do you think? Is this true or false? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is false, but why? You might have said that bullying is when someone repeatedly uses mean words or actions to hurt, scare, or make someone feel bad on purpose.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

The person who experiences bullying is called the victim.

Bullying can make victims very upset.

Victims can also feel sad, angry, worried, scared, or that they're unimportant and how they feel doesn't matter.

A victim of bullying at school may feel too scared and upset to come into school.

They may worry about their bully or bullies being unkind to them or even hurting them.

This may affect their learning if they don't come into school.

A victim of bullying at school may also feel lonely.

They may not have any friends and this could make them feel upset and left out.

They might start to believe what their bullies say about them, and this can affect their confidence too.

Let's do another check for understanding.

Can you remember how might a victim of bullying feel? Could they, A, feel happy; B, upset; C, cared for; or D, lonely? What do you think? How might a victim of bullying feel? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that a victim of bullying could feel upset and lonely.

The victim is the person who's experiencing the bullying.

They could feel upset and lonely, and lonely means that they don't feel like they have any good friends or feel like they don't belong.

Well done if you said the same thing.

It's time to move on to our first practise task.

You're doing a brilliant job so far.

Well done, keep it up.

For the first part of this practise task, I'd like you to correct Andeep's sentences.

Andeep says, "Bullying is when someone is accidentally unkind to you once, and it's okay to bully other people because it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings." Can you correct Andeep's sentences so that they're correct? Pause the video and we'll go through some potential answers in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see what you might have said.

Andeep's sentences might now say, "Bullying is when someone repeatedly uses mean words or actions to hurt, scare, or make someone feel bad on purpose.

It's never okay to bully other people because it can make the victim really upset.

It can also make them feel lonely or unimportant." Well done if you had this or something similar.

For the next part of this task, I'd like you to make a list of the different ways a victim of bullying might feel.

Try to include three to five feelings on your list.

Pause the video and we'll go through some potential answers in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see which feelings you might have included in your list.

You might have included that a victim of bullying could feel upset, sad, angry, worried, scared, unimportant, lonely, or less confident.

Well done if you had any of these.

We're now moving on to our second learning cycle.

By the end of this learning cycle, you'll be able to answer the question, what are the different types of bullying? There are different types of bullying and they're all really serious.

Physical bullying is when someone repeatedly hurts someone else's body.

This might be through pushing them over, hitting or punching them.

Bullying can also be emotional.

This means making someone feel upset on purpose, for example, by calling them names, making unkind comments or leaving someone out.

There's also group bullying, which is when multiple people bully someone together.

As a group, they may be unkind to someone else.

They might plan to bully a person together and encourage each other to be unkind to the victim or victims. Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle so far.

Can you decide which pupil is correct about the types of bullying? Jacob says, "It's only bullying if it's physical.

For example, if someone pushes someone else over." But Sofia says, "There are lots of different types of bullying.

For example, emotional and physical." Who do you think is correct? Jacob or Sofia? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that Sofia is correct.

There are lots of different types of bullying.

For example, emotional, physical, and group.

Well done if you said the same thing.

Some bullying is also discriminatory.

This means bullying someone because of a characteristic that they have.

For example, because of their gender or their skin colour.

Andeep says, "I've experienced bullying because of my skin colour and because I wear a patka.

This is discriminatory bullying and it is never okay." Anyone who is experiencing bullying of any type should get help from a trusted adult.

Andeep says, "I told my teacher about the bullying and she listened to me straight away.

She told me that it was not okay and that she was proud of me for telling her.

She then spoke to the bullies and the bullying stopped, especially after we did a lesson about being a Sikh and why I wear a patka." We should also tell a trusted adult if we see someone bullying someone else.

Victims can find it really hard to talk about being bullied, so we should always tell a trusted adult if we're worried about something that we've seen.

Maybe we've seen someone be unkind to someone else in the playground, or the same person keeps being left out of games at lunchtime.

Alex says, "I'm worried about a friend who's being bullied." And Alex's dad has said, "Thank you for telling me.

Let's talk to your teacher and get some help." When we tell our trusted adults about bullying, they can help us to make sure that it stops.

Let's do another check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle.

Which words are missing? "Blank bullying is bullying someone because of a characteristic that they have.

For example, their gender or skin colour.

Anyone who's experiencing bullying should get help from a blank." Can you decide which words are missing? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that the missing words were discriminatory and trusted adult.

Our completed paragraph should now say, "Discriminatory bullying is bullying someone because of a characteristic that they have.

For example, their gender or skin colour.

Anyone who is experiencing bullying should get help from a trusted adult." Well done if you said that these words were missing.

It's time to move on to our final practise task, and you've done an amazing job so far.

Well done, keep it up.

For the first part of this task, I'd like you to match the scenario with what type of bullying it is.

Here are our scenarios.

Leaving someone out of a football game because they're a girl, repeatedly pulling someone else's hair, calling someone unkind names, or someone deciding with their friends to ignore someone else in the class.

The types of bullying are physical, emotional, group, and discriminatory.

Can you decide which scenario is what type of bullying? Pause the video and we'll go through the answers in a few minutes.

Okay, your matched scenarios might look like leaving someone out of a football game because they're a girl is an example of discriminatory bullying.

It would be discrimination to leave someone out of a game because of their gender.

Repeatedly pulling someone's hair is an example of physical bullying.

Calling someone unkind names is an example of emotional bullying.

And someone deciding with their friends to ignore someone else in the class would be an example of group bullying.

Well done if you matched the scenarios correctly.

For the next part of this task, I'd like you to have a look at this scenario.

Izzy has seen someone push someone else over in the playground and laugh.

Her friends say that it was probably a joke and to ignore it.

What should Izzy do next? Pause the video and we'll go through some potential answers in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see what you might have said.

In this scenario, Izzy should always tell a trusted adult because she may have witnessed bullying and the victim might feel too afraid or worried to report it themselves.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

We're now going to summarise the key learning from today's lesson.

In today's lesson, we've learned that bullying is different from someone disagreeing or upsetting us once or by accident.

Bullying is when someone repeatedly uses mean words or actions to hurt, scare, or make someone feel bad on purpose.

Bullying is a really serious problem and should always be taken seriously.

Bullying can make victims feel upset, lonely, scared and angry.

There are different types of bullying and they're all very serious.

Physical, emotional, group, and discriminatory.

If we're experiencing bullying or know someone who is, we should always ask a trusted adult to help.

Trusted adults can help to stop bullying and can support the victim to make them feel better.

In today's lesson, you might have found that you've got some worries or some questions.

It's really important that if you do you share your worries and questions with a trusted adult so that they can help.

There's also some resources on the screen that are there to help you too.

Well done for your fantastic hard work in today's lesson.

I'm really proud of you and I hope to see you in another lesson soon.
