Let’s Take Back our Playground! The issue of bullying has
plagued many school systems
across the world. We have all
read about issues of bullying
causing students to take drastic
measures to make the pain stop.
Unfortunately, many of these
drastic measures have resulted
in suicide and/or murder.
Bullying in schools was a major
topic of discussion in Cabinet
last Thursday, by Education
Minister Dr Tim Gopeesingh. At a
media conference at the
Education Ministry yesterday,
Dr. Gopeesingh highlighted
some point for identifying a bully
and how to stop the act.
Identifying a bully: A bully is a
person who purposely tries to hurt
others by:
Making them feel uncomfortable.
Hurting them by kicking, hitting, pushing, tripping, etc.
Name-calling.
Spreading nasty rumors.THE BULLY HURTS THE OTHER PERSON OVER AND OVER.
The person being bullied feels that he or she can do nothing to stop it.
He or she might feel smaller or weaker
than the bully. He or she might feel
outnumbered by the bully and the
bully's friends. He or she might feel
there is no help: No one to talk to. No
one is standing up for him or her. He or
she often feels very sad, but does not
know how to change the situation.

Why do bullies do what they
do?
Sometimes they think that they will
win or get what they want, they
want to impress or entertain their
friends, or sometimes they enjoy
feeling power over someone
because sometimes they are being
bullied by someone else!
They don’t even realize that they
are hurting the other person.
What to do if someone is
bullying you: Tell someone you
trust about it. If it is easier for you,
write that person a note instead!!
(People you might want to tell are:
parents, teachers, the principal,
playground safeties, or older
friends). NEVER KEEP BEING
BULLIED A SECRET!!

Bullies can be
BOYS or GIRLS!!
WAYS OF INTEGRATION
For the Newspaper Topic Let’s Take Back our Playground! I
would use the newspaper (text media) to highlight current personal
issues that most students are afraid to disclose, such as, bullying;
students should feel comfortable and be able to individually identify
if they are being bullied or if they are a bully, just by means of
reading the newspaper. The Newspaper topic could also be used to
teach the subjects Character Education, Social Studies and Health
and Family Life. I could even use this resource as an introductory
tool.
DECODING ACTIVITY
For the Newspaper Topic Let’s Take Back our Playground!
students will be placed in groups to discuss what they read, what
was the story/topic all about.
ENCODING ACTIVITY
For each of the Newspaper Topic, students are to create either an
essay, poem or comic strip. So for example, on the topic bullying
students are to highlight what is bullying, how it affect students
and ways to stop bullying through any one of their chosen means
of delivery.
Give yourself enough time to study
Don't leave it until the last
minute. While some students
do seem to thrive on last-
minute 'cramming', it's widely
accepted that for most of us,
this is not the best way to
approach an exam.
Set out a timetable for your
study. Write down how many
exams you have and the days
on which you have to sit
them. Then organize your
study accordingly. You may
want to give some exams
more study time than others,
so find a balance that you feel
comfortable with.

Organize study groups with
friends
Get together with friends for a
study session. You may have
questions that they have the
answers to and vice versa. As long
as you make sure you stay focused
on the topic for an agreed amount
of time, this can be one of the most
effective ways to challenge
yourself.

Be prepared!
!
organize your study space
Make sure you have enough space
to spread your textbooks and notes
out. Have you got enough light? Is
your chair comfortable? Are your
computer games out of sight?
Try and get rid of all distractions,
and make sure you feel as
comfortable and able to focus as
possible. Keep a clean and healthy
environment!
Get a good night rest
Your body still need at least eight
hours of sleep.
Have a healthy diet
Snack on healthy snacks such as
fruits and vegetables and remember
to drink lots of water!
STUDY TIPS FOR
EXAMS
WAYS OF INTEGRATIONFor the Newspaper Topic Study Tips! I would use the newspaper
(text media) to emphasize proper study tips for students to use, and
use it as a form of encouragement to get students interested in
studying and creating a study timetable. I believe that this will also
help with providing a means of support for students and encourage
them to be consistent and hard-working at all times. The curriculum
is loaded with lessons to be taught and therefore I think it is important
to help students achieve a level of balance and this information can
be shared in a fun and interactive manner by means of reading the
newspaper. Subject: Social Studies: Personal Enrichment
DECODING ACTIVITY
For the Newspaper Topic; Study Tips students will be placed in
groups to discuss some of their personal study tips and also
those that were listed in the Newspaper.
ENCODING ACTIVITY
After reading the newspaper article on study tips students are
required to create their own study tips and study
schedule/timetable.
