LC: To identify the impact bullying can have on and offline.
We discussed the term 'bullying' last week.
What did we discuss? What is bullying?
The impact of bullying!
1. Emotional Effects
- Low Self-Esteem: Bullying often causes children to doubt their self-worth and can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low confidence.
- Anxiety and Fear: Children who experience bullying may feel anxious, fearful, or stressed, especially when going to school or social events where bullying might occur.
2. Academic Performance
- Reduced Focus and Engagement: Anxiety and distress can make it hard for children to focus in class. They may have trouble concentrating, which can hinder their learning.
- Absenteeism: To avoid bullies, children may try to skip school or feign illness, leading to missed learning opportunities and gaps in their education.
3. Social Skills and Relationships
- Difficulty Trusting Others: Bullying can make it hard for children to build healthy relationships, as they might struggle to trust their peers or feel that they need to protect themselves.
- Social Withdrawal: Some bullied children may become socially withdrawn, avoiding group activities or play with other children. This can limit their social development and make it harder to form friendships.

LC: Be able to include thoughts and feelings in a recount.
Today you are going to write a recount letter from one of the green children to a friend to tell them about when they were found by the cottars.
Let's get ready! Here is the next part of the story.
The boy and the girl were clutching one another, looking up at the nine men fearfully. And then, quite unexpectedly, the green girl buried her face in her hands and began to sob.
“You see?” said Clac.
“All the same, it might be a trick,” mumbled Grim suspiciously.
Clac took no notice at all. He stepped forward, slid down the grassy bank, and walked towards the children.
The closer he drew, the more astonished he became – so much so that he completely forgot his nervousness. In all his thirty years, he had never seen or even heard of anything like it before: green children . . . a boy and a girl with green cheeks, green fingers, and, poking out of their green sandals, green toes.
“Hello!” said Clac in his gruff, friendly voice. “Who are you?” And he smiled encouragingly.
The children huddled still closer together. They gazed at Clac bewildered, and said nothing.

LC: To explain what ‘attract’ and ‘repel’ means and make predictions whether a magnet will attract or repel a variety of objects giving reasons.
Think back to last weeks lesson. What happened to the paper clip when the cubed bridge was put over it?
What was the force that was causing the paper clip to move up? Was it a push or pull force?
There are special scientific terms for these forces, they are 'attract' and 'repel'.
If something is attracted to something it wants to be closer, like how bees are attracted to flowers!
If something repels something, it does not want to be close!
Attract and Repel are antonyms.
Let's take hold of some magnets. You will notice that the ends are red/blue and have the letters 'N' and 'S'.
'N' means North pole and 'S' means South pole.
What do you notice when you put the 'N' and the 'N', or the 'S' and the 'S' together?
What do you notice when you put the 'N' and the 'S' or the 'S' and the 'N' together?
Let's answer these together:
1. When the same magnetic poles are brought together they will push away. (Repel / Attract)
2. When opposite magnetic poles are brought together, they will pull together. (Repel / Attract)
Can you complete these sentences in your Science books:
Let's Experiment!
Your teacher will give you some objects.
Can you predict if the magnet will attract or repel your objects?
For Example: I predict that the magnet will (attract/repel) the teddy bear because...
Now use your magnets and test your objects.
In your books, record what happened.
