Northbeam Kids · For teachers of students aged 7 to 11
Anti-Bullying Week, 16 to 20 November
MonTueWedThuFri
Five days, five short animated stories and five ready-to-teach PSHE lessons. Start on Monday with The Unkind Note, a 4-minute film that teaches your class three words they will remember: Notice. Support. Tell.
Leo finds a folded note under his reading book: “Nobody wants you on their team.” Maya saw who left it, but speaking up feels scary. She sits with Leo, tells him the note is not true and goes with him to tell Ms Harper. Watch the free preview, then teach the full lesson.

For the whole school
A Northbeam Kids School Licence gives every teacher in one school every film and pack for a year, plus new episodes as they are released. Ideal if your whole school is marking Anti-Bullying Week together.
Students aged 7 to 11 (Years 3 to 6, Grades 2 to 5). Every pack has worksheets at three levels, so you can match the work to each student.
What is included in each $5 pack?
The full 4-minute animated film, a teacher guide with objectives, curriculum links, vocabulary and a safeguarding note, a 60-minute lesson plan, worksheets at three levels, answers, extension ideas and a certificate.
How do I use it in a 60-minute lesson?
Follow the lesson plan in the teacher guide. You show the film and pause at the discussion points, students complete the worksheet at the level that suits them, and you finish with a short class reflection. No preparation is needed beyond printing.
Is there a safeguarding note?
Yes. Each teacher guide includes one. The stories model telling a trusted adult. If a student tells you about bullying or harm during the lesson, follow your school's anti-bullying and safeguarding procedures and speak to your designated safeguarding lead.

Can every teacher in my school use the stories?
