Today, the ladies from Childline came in to run a workshop with Class 6, where we were reminded that we all have the right to be happy and safe.
If you are in Year 5 or 6, why not try the games on the Childline website?

What advice would you give to others who might be facing challenges?
Who could you speak to, if you are worried or concerned about something?
A trusted adult, such as your teacher, parent or any other relative or childline.
Why is this so important?
Because a child should never feel worried or concerned about anything. We were told it would be like carrying around a heavy sack.
What advice would you give to others who might be facing challenges?
Tell your friends or family because they can help you.
Who could you speak to, if you are worried or concerned about something?
A trusted adult like your Mum, Dad, a family member, your teacher or an older friend.
Why is this so important?
If you don’t tell anyone, the situation could escalate and it could get worse. Remember, abuse and bullying is never your fault, no matter what anyone may tell you.

If people were facing challenges I would tell them they should talk to a trusted adult such as your mum, dad or other family members. If you didn’t want to talk face to face with someone then you could call Childline and talk to them.
Who could you speak to, if you are worried or concerned about something?
You should always speak to a trusted adult, like your teacher, your parents or Childline because they are always there to help no matter how big or small the problem may be.
Why is this so important?
Because every child has the right to be happy and safe and any problem a child has they shouldn’t hide it inside and a child should always talk to a trusted adult whenever they want to.
What advice would you give to others who might be facing challenges?
Always talk to a trusted adult no matter how big or small the situation may be and you should keep positive through the whole situation.
As Faber said there are some really fun games on the Childline website. I have just been on the website and had a wonderful time playing the games and typically exploring what’s on there. One of the games (bubblewrap) is a game to see if you remember the number: a memory test if you will. Another game on there is Blues Buster which is really hard! You have to blast all the bad feelings with this type of gun. Why don’t you have a try?
When childlike came in, I thought if we had any problems at home, we could tell them because they are trustworthy and they will make it confidential. I think they will really help if people have problems at home.
What would you do if you had problems at home?
What type of questions would you ask childline to help you with?
I really enjoyed when Childline came in to talk to us, because they made it very fun and involved everyone, but at the same time they included educational values and I have definitely taken away many things from it. I was not aware that it was that simple to contact Childline and I highly recommend to the infants and any classes under Class 5 and 6, to call Childline about any worries or concerns that may be bothering them. As well as the younger children contacting them, I also strongly recommend that older children talk to them, because no worry is too big or small for them to handle. Wondering how much it costs to do this? Well wonder no more, because it is absolutely free! Adding to this, it is 100% confidential between you and the councillor, so do not worry about your secrets and concerns being spilled. As Class 6 are practicing for The Lion King, when talking to a Childline councillor, it is always the greatest comfort to remember Pumbaa and Timon’s motto: hakuna matata.
When childline came to visit I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I was ill on the day they did their assembly and so I didn’t know that there was absolutely nothing to worry about. However, as soon as they entered the room I realised how nice and friendly they were. Then they began to tell us about childline: It’s completely free, it’s confidential, it’s open to any matter big or small… To me it sounded like an amazing place! They talked to us in more detail about the matters of bullying, neglect and abuse and by the time they went I had gained a lot of information about these subjects. I would definitely recommend you go on their website: http://www.childline.org.uk/buddy.
I learnt a lot when the people from Childline came to talk to us; I learnt that you should always tell a trusted adult something if you need help. I learnt so many important things. I knew that no matter how big the problem is that you have, you can always tell Childline. They will always support and between the person you are speaking to and you the talk is confidential. Buddy says we have the right to be happy and safe, and we do.

If you are worried about something, you should tell a trusted adult like your parents or a teacher, or childline.
Why is this so important:
This is so important because if you do not, you will still have to think about the worries, and you might find it hard to concentrate in lessons or exams.
What advice would you give to others who might be facing challenges:
I would say that you should not be scared to tell people and that childline is always open, it is absolutely free and that it is entirely confidential (they will only tell other people in three circumstances).
If you are concerned or worried about something then you can speak to Childline 08001111 or visit their website which is: http://www.childline.org.uk/buddy. It is 100% confidential and it is free. It is open all day every day. So if you are worried about something then speak to a Childline councillor.
It was actually nice to know that apart from our families and people from school, that there are actually people who care about our safety and do not mind if we talk to them for hours on the phone about our problems.
Child line helps by giving children advice if they have any home problems. You can also tell digi, but I would recommend Child line.
