On Monday 23rd May, 8 of Laurus Ryecroft’s Computing Ambassadors spent the afternoon at Aldwyn Primary School talking to Year 6 students.

They delivered two separate hour-long sessions to the Year 6 classes. The sessions consisted of a presentation and activities, educating the children on cyberbullying and how to stay safe online.

Cyberbullying is an important topic for children to be aware of so that they can keep themselves and their friends safe online. Our Computing Ambassadors did a brilliant job in teaching Year 6 about these issues.

The 8 boys involved were an absolute credit to the school and worked especially hard in creating the resources and delivering the session. Well done boys!

This week, ten of our anti bullying ambassadors had the chance to take part in the Diana Award’s anti-bullying ambassador programme.

The main aim of the programme is to engage young people, parents/carers and teachers to change the attitudes, behaviour and culture of bullying by helping build skills and confidence to address different situations, both online and offline.

Our ambassadors attended a full day’s training ran by the Diana Award’s anti-bullying experts, where they took part in a mixture of discussions, activities and games as well as working as a team to build their own anti-bullying campaign; one they will begin to deliver here at Laurus Ryecroft.

The students showed respect, maturity and teamwork throughout the day and they were proud to represent our school at such a prestigious event. We look forward to seeing all the exciting work they have in store for our school, starting with hosting whole year group assemblies in the coming weeks.
