Helping all children become happy learners
Shouting
If I Am Shouting
Shouting is speaking very loudly and often angrily.
If I am shouting this usually means that I am speaking very loudly. There are times when shouting is necessary. These include:
calling to someone outside when they are not near me
calling to a team mate in an outdoor game
attracting attention in a real emergency
Most of the time shouting is not necessary. It is not OK to:
shout at someone because I am angry
shout when indoors
shout to stop another person talking
Shouting when it is not OK can make people upset. Adults can get cross with me. I may also get into trouble.
If I shout outside it may be OK. If I shout inside it is usually not OK. Shouting when I am angry is never OK.
