RIC-20003 AC Health (Year 1) Be healthy safe and active

The lesson
Introduction
• Display page 27 and discuss what is happening
in the school playground. Ask the students to
identify who is being a bully and who is being
bullied.
Development
• If you were asked to draw a picture of a bully,
what would they look like? (Students' ideas
may suggest that bullies are big, strong, ugly,
mean-looking and so on.) Refer to the picture
again and look at the children who are acting
like bullies. Do they fit the picture that you
imagine bullies look like? Reinforce the idea
that anyone, anywhere and at anytime can
be a bully. NOTE: Bullying is an act that is
usually repeated over time and is an enjoyable
experience for the bully. Single acts, while
reprehensible, do not constitute bullying
behaviour.
Differentiation
More capable students may be asked to write
a sentence or two to describe what a bully is
or write to complete the definition 'A bully is
someone who .. .'.
• Ask students to suggest ways of dealing with
bullies. Discuss the suggestions and ask
students to indicate, by raising their hand,
if they like the strategy. List some of these
strategies quickly on the board.
Conclusion
• Ask students to think about the strategy they
like best for dealing with bullies. Read out or
say each strategy (as listed on the board) and
ask students to stand up if they would choose
that strategy. (Alternatively, students may be
asked to sit in groups by strategies.)
Content description
Being healthy, safe and active
Practise strategies they can use when they
feel uncomfortable, unsafe or need help with
a task, problem or situation {ACPPS017) 0
Resources
• One copy of page 27 to discuss with the students
Assessment
• Ask students to orally complete the sentence 'If I am
bullied, I will .. .' to identify a strategy.
Going further
• Look at and discuss the two pictures on page 28.
Students need to be aware of 'bystander bullies'
(people who stand by and do nothing while others
are bullied, or people who support the bully's
actions) and some forms of cyberbullying.
• Visit and watch as the
story The ant bully by John Nickle is read. (The
animated movie version may also be watched if time
allows.)
• Discuss some bullying scenarios with the students.
Students cut out the wheel and arrow on page 29,
and join the arrow to the centre of the wheel using a
split pin. Students may use the strategy wheel and
turn the arrow on the wheel to indicate a strategy
they think best suits the scenario.
Differentiation
Students may be asked to create their own 'Dealing
with bullies' strategy wheel by writing their own
ideas in each section of the circle on an enlarged,
blank copy of page 29.
