Animate a Character

16th Mar 2026

Our Junior Digital Leaders recently took part in a special training session where they learned how to create their own Animated Character. They combined their UICT skills with their Thinking Skills to bring their ideas to life.

As part of the project, the children chose to focus on one of our 16 Habits of Mind
Listening with Understanding and Empathy.

Through their animated characters, they explored what this habit looks like in real-life situations, how we show empathy to others, and why good listening helps us learn and work together.

It was a fantastic blend of creativity, technology, and thoughtful communication. Well done, Digital Leaders!
