YOUNGSTERS have discovered how to deal with playground bullies after a week of workshops, role play and art.

The pupils from Oakfield Junior School, Oakfield Lane, Dartford, took part in five days of activities as part of National Anti-Bullying Week.

The 300 children, aged between eight and 11, were taught how to identify a bully and told what to do should they be victimised by a classmate.

A poster competition was organised to promote the campaign and a winner was chosen from each of the four year groups.

School family liaison officer Donna Neve co-ordinated the event, which ran between November 21 and November 25.

She said: "They children all asked a lot of questions and have taken on the message well."
