The key aim of the week is to encourage children, teachers and parents to celebrate what makes us all different and to create environments where young people can be themselves free from bullying. Film has a vital role to play in inspiring change and encouraging us to see that even though we may just be one person– we can make all the difference. This is why we are proud to work in partnership with Into Film who provide schools with the resources they need to bring the subject of bullying to life through film.” Martha Evans, National Coordinator, Anti-Bullying Alliance.

Pupils will develop engineering skills through the practical experience of ‘tinkering’, improving problem solving, developing resilience, drawing on a range of skills from different curricular areas, and being rewarded for curiosity and creativity. This exciting series of lessons also develops mindfulness skills and concludes with pupils constructing and showcasing their own theme park as a class, in addition to completing homework tasks that promote independence and ecological awareness.
