SCHOOL staff joined forces with children to push home the anti-bullying message.

Youngsters and staff at RAF Leeming's community primary school held a "blue day" as part of a national initiative marking the end of anti-bullying week last week.

They all dressed in blue for the day and each wore a blue wristband, to remember the theme of Be Loving and Understanding to Everyone, and to raise awareness of how to stop bullying.

At the end of the day, the pupils were joined by parents and joined hands in a Circle of Hope around the playground.

Years five and six children also read poems they had written during a week of activities about bullying.
