Anti-Bullying Week with…<br />
Andy Day<br />
Primary Times teams up with Andy Day to support Anti-Bullying Week which is<br />
celebrated in over three quarters of schools across the country, 11 th - 15 th November<br />
Andy Day is set to hit our screens in March<br />
2020 with his new CBBC show Andy and the<br />
Band, but the children’s TV star is also busy<br />
playing a leading part in Anti-Bullying Week.<br />
We tracked down the frontman of Andy<br />
and the Odd Socks to find out why tackling<br />
bullying is close to his heart.<br />
When asked how he got involved in bullying<br />
work, Andy explained “I wasn’t bullied at<br />
school, but I saw others who were, and I’ve<br />
seen the effects that bullying has had on<br />
their personal growth into adulthood.<br />
For some it has toughened them and for<br />
many it has diminished their confidence<br />
and potential”.<br />
“It starts young”, he explains. “Having worked<br />
in kid’s TV most of my career, when I got the<br />
chance to be involved in Anti-Bullying week,<br />
it just chimed with me”.<br />
Andy Day has a children’s<br />
band, ‘Andy and the<br />
Odd Socks’, and<br />
together they<br />
came up with<br />
a simple idea for supporting Anti-Bullying<br />
week. “Why not highlight what makes us all<br />
unique with an Odd Socks Day? Children<br />
could celebrate difference and diversity<br />
simply by pulling on a pair of odd socks<br />
and raise some money for a good cause<br />
in the process”.<br />
Odd Socks Day started in 2017 and has<br />
since been a runaway success, raising<br />
over £60,000 to support the Anti-Bullying<br />
Alliance’s work.<br />
Every year Andy records a song to support<br />
the theme of Anti-Bullying and this year’s<br />
theme is ‘Change Starts with Us’. “The<br />
idea is to highlight the changes, the little<br />
things each of us can do, that make<br />
all the difference to someone on<br />
the receiving end of bullying”, Andy explains.<br />
For Andy, tackling bullying “could be<br />
as simple as being there to listen to<br />
someone who is hurting inside. To build<br />
their confidence and support them. Or<br />
thinking twice before posting a hurtful<br />
post on social media. Or speaking out<br />
when banter has crossed the line into<br />
something more harmful.”<br />
“Most of us will experience bullying in some<br />
capacity throughout our lives. Young or<br />
old, we can all do something to show that<br />
bullying is never acceptable.” Andy is working<br />
on the song ‘Change’ and video as we speak.<br />
“All I can say is: think the Muppets meet<br />
Strictly, Odd Socks style! This tune will really<br />
get kids (and grown-ups!) up and dancing!”<br />
In addition to working with Anti-Bullying<br />
week, Andy and the Odd Socks have just<br />
finished filming their new comedy for CBBC<br />
‘Andy and the Band’ and are looking forward<br />
to seeing that broadcast in March 2020.<br />
On top of that, Andy explains, “we’ve had<br />
an amazing summer touring the festival<br />
scene – including performances at the BBC<br />
Summer Social.”<br />
“We’ve been fitting in visits to Odd Socks Day<br />
schools too. Every day is an adventure at the<br />
moment! All our focus now is on making this<br />
year’s Odd Socks Day the biggest and best<br />
one ever!”<br />
Find out more<br />
about how you can get involved at<br />
anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/anti-bullying-week<br />
Get involved with Odd Socks Day<br />
for Anti-Bullying Week!<br />
Odd Socks Day, with support from SafeToNet, takes place<br />
on Tuesday of Anti Bullying Week – the 12th of November<br />
– and helps raise awareness around anti-bullying.<br />
Odd Socks Day is designed to be fun! It’s an opportunity<br />
for children to express themselves and celebrate their<br />
individuality and what makes us all unique!<br />
There is no pressure on the children to wear the latest<br />
fashion or for parents to buy expensive costumes.<br />
All they have to do to take part is wear odd socks, it<br />
couldn’t be simpler!<br />
We would like to invite children to make a £1<br />
donation - or any donation you think appropriate -<br />
to support us in continuing the week every year.<br />

Headaches in children<br />
Consultant Paediatrician Dr<br />
Nagi Barakat of Bupa Cromwell<br />
Hospital explains what causes<br />
headaches and how best to<br />
treat them.<br />
So what are headaches?<br />
There are two main types that can<br />
affect children; primary headaches,<br />
that are not the result of another<br />
condition, and secondary headaches,<br />
which are caused by another<br />
condition. Primary headaches<br />
include chronic or recurrent headaches<br />
and migraines. Secondary<br />
headaches can be caused by a<br />
number of different conditions, the<br />
most serious of which is a brain<br />
tumour. This is very rare and only<br />
affects about 3 children in 100,000<br />
per year.<br />
How to treat headaches<br />
in children<br />
Medications used in primary acute<br />
headaches include paracetamol<br />
and ibuprofen, and sometimes<br />
anti-sickness drugs can be used<br />
if your child is feeling nauseaus.<br />
You can help your child to reduce<br />
their headaches by making simple<br />
lifestyle changes, such as incorporating<br />
more relaxation, sleep,<br />
healthy meals, plenty of fluids and<br />
exercise (when there is no headache<br />
present).<br />

TRICK OR TREAT!<br />
Five Tips for a frighteningly fun Halloween… without breaking the bank!<br />
Whether it’s trick or treating, carving pumpkins, apple bobbing or lighting a bonfire, Halloween season can quickly become an expensive<br />
time of year for families. Following America’s lead, Halloween in the UK has gained massive popularity, with statistics showing that Britons<br />
spent £4<strong>19</strong> million on Halloween in 2018. However, the holiday for all thing’s horror, hilarity and fun does not need to break the bank every<br />
year. Primary Times have put together 5 different ways to have a frighteningly fun Halloween with the children, without the hefty price tag.<br />
Homemade<br />
Trick or Treats<br />
Whether you’re planning on heading out trick<br />
or treating on Halloween night, or just having<br />
a spooky night-in with the kids, the sweet<br />
treats don’t have to cost a fortune. You could<br />
make your own sweets by melting leftover<br />
chocolate into spooky shapes or branch<br />
out with your treat selection to offer your<br />
children fruit, popcorn or party rings.<br />
DIY Decorations<br />
There’s no need to spend a fortune on Halloween<br />
decorations when you can instead use items you have<br />
lying around the house. Large hanging ghosts that will<br />
sway spookily in the breeze can be made easily by draping<br />
a white sheet, tablecloth or pillowcase over a balloon<br />
and tying below the head. Alternatively, scarecrows<br />
to decorate the party room, trees, patio or porch can<br />
be put together cheaply by stuffing old clothes with<br />
rags or rolled up newspapers – Don’t forget the elastic<br />
bands to create the scarecrow’s knobbly knees!<br />
Crafty<br />
Costumes<br />
Shop-bought Halloween costumes can look great,<br />
but often come with a price tag to match. For an<br />
equally effective result, try making and sewing your<br />
children’s costumes yourself using items from around<br />
the house. A yellow shirt and some overalls can make<br />
a cute Minion, some black clothes and white tape will<br />
transform your children into scary skeletons, or simply<br />
an old sheet torn into strips and wrapped around your<br />
kids will create some seriously spooky mummies.<br />
Spooky<br />
Snacks<br />
Homemade baked goods can be a<br />
great way to save on the pennies<br />
whilst having fun with the kids too.<br />
A batch of delicious Spooktacular<br />
Halloween biscuits will be sure to<br />
disappear in no time – take a look at<br />
our recipe to have a go at home.<br />
Penny<br />
Saving<br />
Party<br />
Games<br />
Party games are a great<br />
way to add activities<br />
this Halloween without<br />
any additional costs.<br />
You could try the<br />
‘Halloween Feel Box’,<br />
a fun sensory game<br />
where the children<br />
have to guess the<br />
different household<br />
items in the box, or<br />
‘Pin the stem on the<br />
pumpkin’, a spooky<br />
alternative to ‘Pin the<br />
tail on the donkey’.<br />
Spooktacular<br />
Halloween Biscuits<br />
Ingredients<br />
(Makes 6-8 Biscuits)<br />
• 100g unsalted butter<br />
• 100g caster sugar<br />
• 1 free-range egg,<br />
lightly beaten<br />
• 275g plain flour<br />
• 1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
To Decorate<br />
• 400g icing sugar<br />
• 3-4 tbsp water<br />
• 2-3 drops food<br />
colourings<br />
• Preheat the oven to <strong>19</strong>0C/375F/Gas 5.<br />
• Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl<br />
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract<br />
• Stir in the flour until the mixture comes<br />
together as a dough.<br />
• Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1cm. Cut<br />
biscuits out of the dough using Halloween-style<br />
cutters and carefully place onto the baking tray.<br />
• Bake the biscuits for 8-10 minutes and set<br />
aside to cool on a wire rack.<br />
• For the decoration, sift the icing sugar into a<br />
large mixing bowl and stir in enough water to<br />
create a smooth paste. Stir in the food colouring.<br />
• Carefully spread the icing onto the biscuits<br />
and set aside until the icing hardens.<br />

Primary Times West London<br />
Sing! Dance! Act!<br />
Primary Times explores how the performing arts benefits our children,<br />
and how parents can get involved at home<br />
The performing arts are<br />
a fantastic way to help<br />
children to develop their<br />
creative skills. There<br />
are no wrong answers,<br />
and everyone is actively encouraged to<br />
explore new and alternatives opinions.<br />
Whether its dancing, acting, or singing,<br />
the arts can teach our children listening<br />
and communication skills, boost their<br />
self-belief and confidence, and improve<br />
their academic performance. But most<br />
importantly, the performing arts are a<br />
way for children to let off steam and<br />
have a lot of fun!<br />
One of the main advantages of taking part<br />
in the performing arts in young individuals<br />
is the improvement of communication<br />
skills. Acting and drama, for example, will<br />
help with their presentation skills, vocal<br />
projection, tone of speech, and articulation.<br />
Listening skills will also become refined<br />
by taking on board stage directions from<br />
teachers, collaborating with peers, and<br />
working together toward a common goal of<br />
a fantastic end-performance. From learning<br />
new lines, to remembering their acting cues<br />
and timing, and rehearsing scenes time<br />
and again, children can improve their<br />
focus, memory, concentration, and<br />
quick-learning skills.<br />
For some children, confidence comes<br />
naturally to them, however others needs<br />
more support and encouragement in order<br />
to develop into confident individuals. The<br />
performing arts can provide children with<br />
the combination of a safe environment and<br />
activities they love outside of the normal<br />
classroom environment, allowing them to<br />
gradually come out of their shells.<br />
Overcoming backstage, pre-performance<br />
nerves can normalise a child’s feeling of<br />
anxiety. Whilst it won’t take away nerves<br />
they may have, it’s a fantastic way to teach<br />
them methods of successfully overcoming<br />
feelings of pressure. Practices like<br />
contributing ideas to a drama performance<br />
or adding new moves to a dance routine<br />
can allow them to express their personality<br />
in ways they may not have done before.<br />
Links to improved performance in maths,<br />
reading and writing from involvement in<br />
performing arts are widely documented<br />
too. Studies have found that creative and<br />
critical thinking, problem-solving, and<br />
reasoning increase and improve when arts<br />
education is added to the mix.<br />
Top Tips!<br />
For how to<br />
incorporate<br />
the arts into<br />
your home<br />
When you read to your children, be<br />
dramatic. Act out stories with props and<br />
costumes. Encourage them to create<br />
their own stories to act out for you.<br />
Save old costumes and props for dress-up fun.<br />
Add to the collection with clothing you no longer need:<br />
hats, scarves, purses, shoes, and any other hand-medowns<br />
you can find.<br />
Introduce dance into the home. Teach your children<br />
traditional dances you know or improvise with them.<br />
Body movement is fun and good exercise.<br />
Sing together. Teach the kids your favourite songs.<br />
Expand your musical repertoire at home and in the<br />
car. Venture into unknown musical territory so that<br />
you and the children can hear something out of your<br />
usual fare. This can be easily expanded by tuning<br />
into a different radio stations and by checking out<br />
cassettes and CDs from the public library — all for free!<br />
