About Us...

As a boy who dances for a hobby...

I have had problems making friends at school.

Because of this I spent many playtimes wandering around talking to myself.

You often get a good answer when you talk to yourself!

That’s when I came up with my business

LOOK FOR LONELINESS...

LOOK FOR LONELINESS is a way of getting other children to understand what it is like to be lonely and not have friends. Also how bad it feels to be a Bully.

We are all taught how to Read and Write. We are not taught social skills through out School. A lot of Children don’t know how wrong it is to leave someone out of their games. I want to stop others feeling how I have and I believe that by educating young we can stop the bullying which happens in England.

My idea is a package to be sold into Primary Schools to help children like myself. The pack is attractive and informative to Teachers and Children.

How Look4Loneliness can be used as part of the school curriculum to promote anti-bullying work

The pack will support a whole school approach to teaching about all elements of anti-bullying work. Schools should have anti-bullying included within their behaviour policy, and strategies to support the effectiveness of this policy specific curriculum areas such as PSHE, Citizenship and in the SEAL programme can be linked into L4C resources.

How L4L links to Citizenship, PHSE and Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL)

There are topics within the Citizenship curriculum which are useful vehicles for teaching about issues related to the anti-bullying work of the school. Diversity, dealing with conflict, safety awareness, children’s rights.

Personal Social and Emotional Health (PSHE) provides school staff with a clear opportunity to work on bullying. Within the national curriculum for PSHE pupils should be taught:

Key Stage 1: that there are different types of teasing and bullying; that bullying is wrong; how to help to deal with bullying.

Key Stage 2: the consequences of bullying and racism, on individuals and communities; the nature and consequences of racism, teasing and bullying, and aggressive behaviours; how to respond to bullying and ask for help.

SEAL is arranged in themes which all work to cover curriculum requirements and include anti-bullying work throughout school. The reading books, CD and work on song writing can be used to highlight the major themes from foundation to year 6:

Getting on and falling out; relationships; say no to bullying; I like the ways we are all different and can tell you something special about me; I can tell you some ways in which children can be unkind and bully others; I can tell you how it feels when someone bullies you; I can be kind to children who have been bullied; I know who I could talk to in school if I was feeling unhappy or being bullied; I know what to do if I am bullied; I can tell you what bullying is; I know how it might feel to be a witness to, and a target of, bullying; I know that sometimes bullying is hard to spot, and I know what to do if I think it is going on but I am not sure; I understand how rumour-spreading and name-calling can be bullying behaviours.

The resources of Look4Loneliness incorporate these major themes in curriculum work all year round in school and can also form the focus of anti-bullying week.
