This week we have been looking at the different types of bullying that can occur. We have also looked at  bullying  that happened during Victorian times.

Adheer could not believe that children could be humiliated in this way. He was also shocked to find out that children were physically bullied and made to do jobs they didn’t want to do.

We also looked at Homophobia and through discussion children understood that it was another form of bullying and unacceptable.
