Let‟s Listen To The
Story Called…..

STICKS AND STONES

Luke was happily walking
to school minding his own
MOVE
business whistling as he
PEE
went. Suddenly he heard
WEE!
someone shout “Get out
of my way Pee Wee!” As
he turned around he saw
Kevin, the biggest boy in
school, racing towards
him on his skateboard.
Luckily he leapt out of
the way just in time to
avoid being knocked over.

On his way home Luke
saw Kevin with his dog
waiting on the corner.
Luke kept walking and
hoped for the best.
“Hey Shrimp, what’s it
like down there,”
laughed Kevin. “You are
the most pathetic
excuse for a boy I have
ever seen.”
What could Luke do
now?

Luke ran home as
quickly as he could just
hoping that Kevin or his
dog wouldn’t chase him.
When he got home he
went into his bedroom
and sat alone, quietly
wondering why Kevin
was being so mean to
him.
How do you think
Luke is feeling,
sitting in his room?

The next day Luke
spent all day trying to
stay away from Kevin.
Unfortunately he only
managed to do it until
lunch time……..

“You’re so small and
scrawny I could squash
you and feed you to my
dog Tyson. Where do
you buy your clothes,
the baby section?”
laughed Kevin. Luke
tried to hold back the
tears but eventually
they began to trickle
down his cheeks.

As his alarm went off
the next morning Luke
rubbed his eyes and
wished he didn’t have to
go to school. “I could
tell mom that I’m not
very well, maybe she
will let me stay home,”
he thought.
What do you think
would happen if Luke
doesn’t go to school
today?

“I’m sorry Luke but
you don’t seem that
ill to me. You
Can

help off school unless you

Mrs Thomas. “Should
I tell mom about
Kevin?” thought Luke.

Luke’s mom said
to Luke that she
thought the
names Kevin had Luke started to laugh
called him were too, as he thought about
silly names. what Kevin had said.
“Shrimp, is that “Feed me to his dog,
the best he can what a ridiculous idea”
do?” giggled chuckled Luke.
Luke’s mom.

The next day when
Kevin started to say
mean things Luke didn’t
start to cry. Instead
he thought about how
silly Kevin was and
began laughing. Kevin
tried again but Luke
just laughed even
harder.
Kevin finally got bored with Luke
laughing at him and just carried on
walking to school.

Luke enjoyed
going to
school again.

Bullying Hurts
Bullying makes you scared and upset.

• Bullying can make you so worried that you can't
work well at school.

Some children make up excuses so they don‟t have
to go to school.

Bullying can make you feel that you are no good,
that there is something wrong with you.

Bullies can make you feel that it's your fault.

KINDNESS
ESSAY

THINGS WE
SHOULD
DO…..

THINGS WE SHOULD NOT
DO…..

THINGS WE SHOULD
DO…..
 Seek adult help
Do not participate in the harassment of
the victim
Offer kind words to the victim
Do not become involved in rumors and
gossip
If you can effectively communicate with
the bully, tell the bully that he is doing
inappropriate things
Do not become involved in physical or
verbal fights with a bully

THINGS WE SHOULD NOT DO…..
 Don't try to deal with the problem on your
own. There is nothing wrong with asking for
help.
 Don't hit the people who are bullying you. You
might end up being accused of bullying
yourself.
 Always tell the truth about what has happened.
Don't exaggerate. If a small part of what you
are saying is shown to be untrue then it throws
everything else into doubt.
 Don't hide what is happening from the adults
you trust. Keeping things secret is the bullies'
biggest weapon. That is why they go to so
much trouble to stop you telling.
