Diary of an Upstander: an Anti-Bullying event for KS2

Come and be an ‘upstander’ in your community as we explore how to spot and speak out against bullying.

Diary of a Wimpy Kids (2021)

Date: 19 November 2024
Time: 10:30am to 12:30pm
Location: BFI Southbank

Event details

Following on from Anti-Bullying Week’s theme, ‘Choose Respect’, this PSHE event asks pupils to choose to respect each other and to celebrate when their peers have chosen to be kind and respectful. It an ideal way to consolidate pupils’ PSHE learning as they come out of Anti-Bullying Week.

In this event we take pupils through a series of short film clips from films such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021), Wonder (2017) and Zootopia (2016) to engage in discussion about what makes us unique and why we should be caring and respectful of each other. We will explore the different types of bullying and ways in which we can support each other.

We will encourage pupils to consider how they can be ‘upstanders’ rather than bystanders, noticing and flagging up unwanted behaviours in themselves and others to ensure that they lead with kindness.
