ARE YOU BEING BULLIED?
Need help?
According to a recent survey, PIRLS 2016 (Progress in International Reading Literacy Study – pg 226 in the report) South Africa has the highest incidence of bullying among all 50 countries that participated in the study.
42% of Grade 4 students indicated that they were bullied weekly compared to 15% in the US and England.
We are looking for a sponsor(s) for “Sibo Beats the Bully” – a title on how to deal with bullies. Click here for more info.
How cool is this? Sibo has won another award…

This is the second title in the Sibo Series and is all about how to make, plant and look after a vegetable bed the size of a door. In honour of this award, we are making this the free read for August. Thanks very much.
