This half-term, our focus has been on the character trait of Courage. We have spent time exploring what courage looks like, sounds like, and feels like. The children shared some fantastic ideas, describing courage as standing up for yourself and others, trying new things even when they feel tricky, and having the bravery to face challenges head-on. One of the highlights of our learning was taking part in Mr. Longley’s “Courage Challenge”. The children spun the wheel to see which silly challenge they would complete. Each child faced their own challenge independently, showing determination and bravery while having lots of fun. It was wonderful to see everyone encouraging each other and celebrating each success.

In Time to Read Crew, we listened to the classic story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Our challenge was to act out the story in small groups in front of our friends. Everyone showed great courage, stepping into their roles confidently and performing with enthusiasm. It was inspiring to see the children support each other and embrace the spotlight.

This half-term has shown us that courage comes in many forms—whether it’s trying something new, performing in front of others, or simply facing a challenge with a smile. We are so proud of how the children have embraced courage in their learning and play!
