Keep Out!

On Blue Friday, at the end of our anti-bullying weeks, we decided to write messages to the bullies who had ruined our writing area. The children were very keen to express their anger, and children from all classes wrote messages to the bullies at playtime.

Some were short and to the point, 'keep out' and 'go away' and others were a bit more personal. One Year 6 child wrote 'I am really upset by what you did. I used to take my buddy into the area, and she is only little and doesn't understand why anyone would do this!'

We all hope that the people who did this don't come back, and it was really great to read some of the comments left under the Daily Echo article on their website. When the Year 6 children read them they wanted to write their own letters to the Echo. Here is an example of one of them...

To the Editor

This is a letter to tell you how I feel about what happened to writing area.

My heart feels like a black hole sucking in every piece of good in the world. Redbridge is a very good school, I don’t understand why anyone would be so cold and heartless. I’ve heard and seen a few sick things in the world but this is a job for a devil. Me and my friends at Redbridge Primary School have never felt so sad. I hope they end up locked in a dark, cold cage. One day they will rot and if they return they will be in a lot of trouble.

They think there so hard picking on a school for kids but have we given up, no, and these people are going to get caught and locked up if I ever see these people again. They feel no guilt, the only achievement they’ve earned is getting themselves a ticket to jail. These people are nothing but weak, spineless fools. If they are so tough they wouldn’t come back at all, so all hope they will never they will not show they there faces here again.

Yours Sincerely

We have also had some very kind offers from parents to help mend the benches, and from a local company who read about what had happened and wanted to help. They have really helped to cheer us all up.
