The 16th to the 20th November 2009 is Anti Bullying Week. Bullying is often targeted on children who are in some way different. This can often be because they are from a minority ethnic group or culture or they are a refugee. In statistics provided by schools ethnic minority children are overrepresented as the victims of bulling, and whether the bullying is explicitly race (or culture) based or not schools should consider whether this is actually the real reason for the bullying. Sources: www.tes.co.uk/anti-bullying-week What did you do for Black History Month 2009?

As part of Bradford's Black History Month Celebration Primary Colours were asked to deliver two bespoke INSET days on Identity Heritage and Belonging for Black and Dual Heritage Pupils to Education Bradford staff and teachers from Bradford schools. The course was so successful that we have decided to add it to our regular course List. One of the handouts we developed for the course that went down extremely well was a list of 11 dual heritage footballers who could make up an England Team ( Most of them have already played for England). Going and Coming Update: Sheffield Schools Pilot the Project
