Character Traits

W.A.L.T: Identify our own personal traits that represent who I am...

 Steps Students went through to identify their personal traits

  • We discussed as a whole class what personal Traits were and brainstormed different ideas. 
  • Some students were able to stand in front of their peers, so that their peers were able to share personal traits that suited that particular person. 
  • Students then brainstormed their own personal traits listing 7. Students were able to engage in positive discussions with their peers if they were struggling to come up with seven traits. 
  • Students were then given an A3 pice of paper to rule up their 7 sections. 
  • They then numbered each section from 1 - 3, as each section would use a different colour (Darker/lighter) The contemporary colours were; Purple, Red, Green and Blue. 
  • Students then used chalk before using white paint to add in their character traits (Personal Traits). 
  • The last process was using black paint to paint each individuals name on their character traits. 

I found that all students enjoyed this process. Part of this process was done in collaboration with room 8, and worked really well considering there were over 50 students in the Art room. All students adapted to situation and worked well together. This was a good sign, especially when both classrooms will be travelling away together for our end of year camp.

School Vision/Aspirations

As part of our call back day for Term 2, we worked in teams to gain further understanding of our current teaching practise and where we are heading as a school. The senior leadership team provided each team with a list of words that they had heard from teachers across the school in Term 1. This was an opportunity to identify and explain our understanding around why we do the things we do.
