Namaste Readers,
This term we have been learning about Outstanders:
We learned about...
- Protests - Parihaka, Women's suffrage, BLM, The great depression, ETC ...
- Anti - Bullying - Bystanders/Upstanders, You vs Me, Cards situations
- Netiquette - The language you use online, Informal vs Formal
My favourite subject from Outstanders was the Anti Bullying theme.
We learned about Bystanders and Upstanders.(You may already know)
Bystander - A bystander is someone who know/sees or watches bullies doing the wrong thing. Sometimes they would be cheering them on or see this event and not tell anyone. That is a bystander.
(Don't be a Bystander)
Upstander/Outstander - Is someone who stands up for what they know is right. They protect those who are bullied or when they have no power are not afraid to tell a teacher. (Please be a Upstander)
Some of the work we did was split into groups and get a card. The card had a situation on it with questions on how we would deal with these scenes.
One of the questions was about if you saw someone being bullied.
If you saw someone being bullied how would you deal with it? (Sorry it didn't exactly say this exactly but it's similar I don't have a great memory)
My answer was - I would beat the bully up. Just kidding...
I would tell an adult or tell the bully to stop. I would be a up stander and do whats right.
What would you do?
Thanks for reading my blog feel free to comment. Sayonara
