This week, our class have been busy designing and creating their very own Character Traits Top Trumps cards – and they’ve been a huge hit!
The children began by revisiting the character traits that are important to us as a class, such as kindness, courage, integrity and compassion. We talked about what these traits really mean, what they look like in action, and why they matter both in school and beyond.
Each child then chose traits to feature on their cards, carefully thinking about how strong each one was and justifying their choices. This sparked lots of brilliant discussion, reflection and respectful debate, as children explained why one trait might score higher than another and shared examples from real life.
Once complete, the children enjoyed playing their games together, practising turn-taking, fair play and clear communication – all while celebrating positive character traits. It was lovely to see how proud they were of their creations and how confidently they could talk about the values behind them.
As part of hook week, the cards also included a subtle clue about what our next expedition might be — and the children are already full of theories!
A fantastic mix of creativity, thinking and character development – well done, everyone!
