Dráma ar ‘Anti-bullying’
Inné, tháinig an ‘Stop agus Stare Production’ go dtí Scoíl na mBuachaillí in Áth Trasna. Bhí sé bunaithe ar mhaistíneacht. Bhí drámaíocht, damhsa agus scréadaíl sa dráma. Bhí Liam Ó Dochartaigh i gceannas air. Bhí Katie agus John ag cuidiú leís. Chuaigh na ranganna eile isteach sa halla agus tháinig tuismitheoirí isteach freisin.
I mo thuairim bhí sé go hiontach. Bhain gach duine taitneamh as. Tháinig na múinteoirí isteach ar a do a chlog chun an drama a fheiceáil. Ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad ar an lá sin go deo na ndeor.

Inné
Inné tháinig Liam Ó Dochartaigh go dtí an scoil agus bhí Katie agus John in éineacht le Liam. Bhí siad ag ciudiú le Liam. Bhí sceitch bunaithe ar mhaistíneacht ar siúl. Bhí Liam í bhfeighil an seisiúin. Chuaigh rang a cheathair, cúig agus rang a sé go dtí an seisiúin. Rinne gach duine dráma. Bhí Katie ag damhsa le na páistí. Nuair a chonaic Ben agus Dylan an chliseadh, thosaigh siad ag screadaíl. Nuair a bhí an chleachtadh críochnaithe acu, tháinig na tuismitheoirí agus ranganna eile go dtí an halla. Bhí siad ag féachaint ar an drámaíocht agus bhain gach duine taitneamh as.
I mo thuairim, bhí sé go hiontach. Bhí an-spórt againn agus ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad ar an lá sin go deo na ndeor.

Bullying!
Our creative writing… Names are fictional and detail is added to write our story. However, the underlying principles of anti-bullying are true!
It was a lovely May morning. We were in English class.
The teacher was asking us questions on Blue Skies. When it came to my turn I completely lost my thoughts and my answers sounded really stupid. I could feel everybody laughing at me. At break-time Tom came to me and began to call me “Silly Billy” and said I should be in the high infants class. A few other boys joined in and made real fun of me. I was too shy and they knew I was easily bullied. I wished I was never born!
Later on, Frank called me aside. He was upset for me and wanted the bullies caught. Both of us went to the Principal and told our story. She was shocked! The bullies were given double homework for a month as well as having no more breaks for the term! The support I received meant a lot to me. I felt happy again. Bullies have no place in our school!

Bullying
One morning Dave was walking to school. He looked very sad because every day he got bullied.
When he got to school he got a dirty look from Tom. When the teacher left the room, they started to push him and call him names. Then the bell rang. During break, he played on his own because nobody would play with him. He got a ball and played with it, but then the bullies cornered him and took the ball and started hitting him. On his way home from school, he went to the sweet shop and bought some sweets. Just as he stepped out the door, the bullies were waiting for him. They took all his sweets and started punching and laughing at him.
After seeing this, I think I should tell a teacher or an adult that Dave is being bullied!

Bullying…
One day Tim got a sum wrong. Some of the boys laughed at him and made him feel sad. This was not the first time!
Later that day the bullying continued. When Tim had to speak in class, the same three boys laughed at him again. I told them to go away and leave him alone.
What I should have done was told the teacher secretly and ask the teacher not to tell them that I told on them. I should have explained how bad he felt when he got laughed at.

Dráma
Dé Luain a bhí ann. Bhí ‘Stop agus Stare’ ar siúl. Bhí Liam Ó Dochartaigh i gceannas air. Bhí Katie agus Seán ag cuidiú leis. Bhí mé ag damhsa agus ag déanamh dráma. Bhí an dráma fada. Dúirt Liam go raibh mé go maith ag an damsha. Chuaigh na tuismitheoirí go dtí an dráma. Bhí mé ag screadaíl in éineacht le Ben. Is maith liom an drámaíocht. Bhí an-spórt agam. Tar éis an dráma, bhí an múinteoir ag caint le Liam. Ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad ar an lá sin go deo na ndeor.

Bullying
One day in the middle of June, we all got our summer test results back. Our class teacher told my friend Oscar that he had to do his test again because he had done so badly. I noticed that everyone in the class gave a brief giggle and the boys in the corner were giving him dirty looks as if they were planning something.
Oscar was so embarrassed and didn’t even talk ’til break. Eventually break came; the boys told him not to play. Oscar was going to tell but the boys started blackmailing him. If he told, they were going to put up on Facebook that he did badly in his test. Then I went over to Oscar and tried to cheer him up. He was slightly happier when I attempted to cheer him up, but he still felt left out. I had to do something, so I told the teacher. Later that day, the teacher sorted out the indignant bullies.
In conclusion, I was as proud as punch that I stood up for my best friend, Oscar.
Patrick Browne, 6th Class
Bullying
Pat is a new student at our school. He started at the beginning of the year and he got bullied weekly.
Last week, our teacher asked us a question in Irish and Pat put up his hand first. So the teacher asked him the question. This question was for us to get fifteen minutes extra break. Pat got the question wrong so we didn’t get the extra minutes. James gave Pat a dirty look. Later, when we went out for break, James got his friends and cornered Pat. They started pushing Pat.
When I saw them, I went to the teacher on the yard and I said to him “Pat is being pushed by a lot of bullies”. After the break the teacher gave the “bullies” strikes and they never hurt Pat again.
I felt very happy I did the right thing.

Bullying
One day in the middle of December in class, George was asked a question and he gave a silly answer. When the class were eating their lunches before break, they were giving him bad looks. On the yard, first people were pushing him around and then a boy named David pushed him on the ground and he split open his head. After that, everybody was staring at him and the teacher phoned the ambulance. When the ambulance arrived, his friend Jacob came with him to the hospital. Later in hospital, his Mom and Dad arrived and finally he got better. The following day in school, David apologised, and the school made up a new rule:
Bullying will not be tolerated in our school and will be reported and the boy will be disciplined consequently.
