Today’s character trait has been ‘compassion’.
As part of the day, we have shown compassion to our ‘Baby Eggs’, who needed clothing, shelter and care – we had great fun using our imagination to create them.
Then it was the colour run in aid of our school and chosen charity the RSPCA (that we learnt about yesterday). Despite a few early drops of rain, we had great fun turning ourselves into colourful rainbows!!

Yesterday’s character trait that we learnt about was courage. We discussed how we need courage when we are challenged with things that can make us feel uncomfortable. We learnt this by dancing in the cheerleading style. This was very challenging for some of us (including me!) but we all showed bravery and courage and gave it a good go. We now need to practise our routine a few more times before we perform it in front of the rest of the Key Stage. The final act of courage!

Today our new crew took part in a fun and challenging team-building activity designed to get everyone working together. The task sounded simple: build the tallest tower you can… using only your shoes!
At first, there were puzzled faces and lots of laughter. How could we possibly turn our shoes into a tower? But with some creative thinking, clever balancing, and plenty of cooperation, we began stacking, leaning, and problem-solving their way to success.
It wasn’t just about the tallest tower—it was about communication, and teamwork. The children quickly learned that listening to each other’s ideas was the key to keeping the tower standing. Others discovered that patience and persistence were just as important as speed.
Well done to everyone for showing such fantastic collaboration and creativity—our crew is off to a brilliant start!

Yesterday, we kick started our first week back and looked at the character trait ‘compassion’. We looked at what it means to be compassionate and show compassion and then we left school to engage in acts of service with our local care home. Some of our children played board games with the residents and they all had so much fun. The children learnt a lot from the residents such as how to play a range of card games and how to play dominoes. We are so proud of the relationships we are building with this care home and we hope to build on this throughout the year.
In a world where you can be anything, always be kind.

It was great to see everyone back in school today and looking so smart! This week, we are learning how to be great learners. We are doing this by focusing on a different character trait every day. We learnt about ‘Respect’ today. We unpicked what the word meant and how it might look if we are being respectful. We learnt that written and unwritten rules are important in helping us to know that we are always being respectful to each other. Together, we created a set of class norms that will help us remember how we can show respect. A great first day back! I wonder which character trait we will focus on tomorrow?

We have had an amazing first day back in 4B. We have learnt all about our character trait courage and how we can demonstrate that in school.
The children have shown great courage in a serious of activities including interacting with some creep crawlies: Charlie the spider, Humphrey the snake and cinnamon and liquorice the millipedes. Although many were nervous at first, all have shown great courage to face their fears and push themselves out of their comfort zone and should be very proud of themselves.
They also worked as a team to successfully complete some outdoor challenges to collect the gems of courage.
Overall, a fantastic, active start to the week!
It was great to welcome everyone back for the start of the new school year.
This week is based around developing our positive character traits and today, the focus was on ‘Courage’ – and really did have to face our fears (me included!).
We were lucky enough to be visited by Nick from Project Wild, who brought some of his little friends along with him – Humphrey the snake, Cinnamon and Liquorice the millipedes and Charlie the Tarantula!! Many of us had to show a lot of courage, as we held, stroked or high-fived our mini-beast visitors! It was amazing to see how everyone embraced the situation and really used their courage – even though they had been so scared to begin with!
We then completed some ‘Commando Joe’ challenges, working together to problem-solve and support each other to be courageous.
Finally we discussed different types of courage and how courage is often represented in films and stories, and thought about if we were to create a courageous character, what would they be like!
We have had a great day and I feel so proud of everyone and how they took part in the challenges we have thrown at them today – what a great start to the school year.
I wonder what tomorrow’s character trait will be?
