For a year long theme centred on ‘Classroom Ninjas’ we created a set of classroom qualities based on the ‘Ninjutsu Code’.
Specifically we decided that Classroom Ninjas:
- are neither seen nor heard…
- dream – imagine – invent.
- have learned that tidiness is serenity…
- know what is right, fair and true.
- know that more is achieved together, than alone.
- know that to be trusted, they must be trustworthy.
- are responsible for their own behaviour.
- help, not hinder.
- look confident and brave, even when they’re not.
- see the glass is half-full, not half-empty.
- know they can – eventually – do almost anything.
- are keen to join in, keen to try new activities and keen to learn new skills.
I hope your classroom Ninjas are equally gifted!

Thank you for your ninja code esp. love “are keen to join in, keen to try new activities and keen to learn new skills”! My media center is going to be a dojo this year!
Hi Kristen, thank you for lovely comment. Ninjas are (is?) a great theme for the class with lots of crossover possible into other areas. We’re working on a Japanese themed musical for school for 2016, and I started a Pinterest board for Ninjas. There might be some useful material there for you. http://www.pinterest.com/ozflynx/ninjas/
