After the Paris terrorist attack, good advice came out from homeland security on what to do if you face an attack. However it was focused on adults and not child friendly. I thought I would create a simple book which explains to children what is now recommended in the case of an active shooter attack. You should however still point out that this is an incredibly unlikely event - but one students now need to be prepared for.
The Importance of Having 10 Free Anti-Bullying Posters in Every Classroom
Creating a safe and supportive learning environment is crucial for student success, and having free anti-bullying posters in every classroom is an essential step toward achieving this goal. These posters serve as powerful tools to raise awareness, promote kindness, and foster a culture of respect among students.
Awareness: Anti-bullying posters highlight the various forms of bullying, including physical, verbal, and cyberbullying. By educating students about these behaviors, they can better recognize and understand the impact of bullying on their peers.
Empathy: Posters that share personal stories or testimonials can evoke empathy and encourage students to consider the feelings of others. This can motivate them to stand against bullying and support their classmates.
Prevention: Free anti-bullying posters often include clear messages and strategies for preventing bullying. They can empower students with the knowledge and tools to take action, whether it be reporting incidents or being an ally.
Encouraging Kindness: Posters that promote kindness and positive behavior create an uplifting atmosphere. They can serve as daily reminders for students to practice empathy and compassion in their interactions with others.
Clear Expectations: By displaying posters that outline the school’s anti-bullying policies and codes of conduct, educators can set clear expectations for behavior. This reinforces the idea that bullying will not be tolerated.
Open Dialogue: Anti-bullying posters can spark conversations among students and teachers about the importance of respect and inclusion. This open dialogue fosters trust and encourages students to speak up about their experiences.
Positive Role Models: Featuring quotes or images of role models who advocate against bullying can inspire students to emulate these behaviors. It shows that standing up for what is right is commendable.
Community Building: By involving students in creating or selecting posters, educators can foster a sense of ownership and community. When students feel invested, they are more likely to adhere to the principles of kindness and respect.
Visibility: The strategic placement of anti-bullying posters throughout the classroom ensures that messages are visible and constant. This reinforces the importance of creating a safe space for all students.
Encouragement to Seek Help: Posters that provide information about resources, such as counselors or hotlines, remind students that help is available if they or someone they know is experiencing bullying.
In conclusion, incorporating 10 free anti-bullying posters in every classroom is vital for promoting a safe and inclusive school environment. By raising awareness, encouraging empathy, and fostering open communication, these posters play a crucial role in combating bullying and cultivating a culture of kindness among students.

This book was originally in the public domain for free. I spent a considerable amount of time removing all the self promoting hyperlinks to the original free site, as well as adding lots of free, colourful images to each page. This book looks far more professional than the original one and the students will be proud to take it home when it is complete to show their parents.

Make target setting an interactive, hands on activity! This ideas is based on a simple 3D square based pyramid net. There is space on each side for students to write down their monthly English, Maths and Social targets. There is also a space for their name and something they learnt in the previous month.
I added the motivational quotes so students appreciate what they are learning towards. I added the positive behaviour system, where the students move around the track each time they achieve their pyramids targets! The harder they work, the faster they move around the track. Lots of fun for everyone!
I have created this worksheet in black and white so teachers can either print them on white paper or onto different coloured papers, the idea being to change the colour of the pyramid every month, so everyone knows which pyramid they should now be following.
You simply print off this pennant at the beginning of the year as a Getting to know you activity. I like the idea of laminating them and placing them directly above the different groups of children. The children can quickly learn more about each other.
The students have a chance to set themselves a fun target to achieve in the year. At the end of the year the students can then look again at their targets and see if they have achieved their goals. This could also make a very homework task. Get them to build up their pennants using different materials from around the home.
I added a reflection sheet for times children are not quite as good as you would like.
Which would you rather? - A fun set of 100 child friendly either or questions for 3 to 8 year olds.
