Following on from last week’s session bullying, today we have been looking at “banter” what is it?, Is it socially acceptable? When is “banter” not acceptable?

We discussed as a group what experiences we have of “banter” who do we have “banter” with. We then looked at different scenarios and we discussed whether we thought it was “banter” or a falling out. 

We then moved into small groups and we were given various written scenarios which we had to sort into banter or a falling out.  We worked together and discussed our thoughts and feelings on the scenarios. 
 

Some of us shared our own personal experiences about banter with friends and how to recognise if we may have upset somebody, what do we do if that situation occurs? Everyone made some positive contributions. Well done 11A
