Odd Socks Day,as part of Anti-Bullying Week
During the week of 13th – 17th November 2023 we will be celebrating Anti-Bullying Week.
To start the week, we are asking students to wear odd socks for the day to celebrate us all being unique. The day sends an important message that we should all be allowed to be ourselves free from bullying and helps us celebrate Anti-Bullying Week in a fun and positive way.
Class teachers will be able to share more about how each class has marked the week and the learning that has taken place.
