Cyberbullying may start to be a problem among older pupils in primary school as pupils are given access to mobile phones and children need teaching about it so that they understand the hurt and effects that it can have on pupils.
Ideas for activities for children
Write a cyberbullying story to make a stop–motion presentation, a video presentation or any other sort of presentation about it.
