What is Bravery?

On Tuesday I asked the children to tell me about a time when they have been brave as a way of starting to develop a definition of what bravery is. These were their answers...

H : When I was learning to ride my bike, I fell off but didn't cry.
A: I fell off my scooter onto dads bike and I didn't cry
Thomas: Learning how to ride without training wheels.
Vida: I fell over on the stones at school and didn't cry.
Caitlyn: I can ride on two wheels by myself.
Claire: When dad sent me off on my bike, I was on the graa and I fell off but I didn't cry.
Brody: I had three wheels and then 2 and I rode in a circle.
Gemma: My bike was wobbling with 2 training wheels and Iwas brave because I nearly fell over.
Campbell: I was watching tv and a girl broke her arm and caught on fire (Why was she brave?) she didn't die.
Charlie: When I had a jab, I didn't cry.
Connor: Dad took me for a walk and I fell off the scooter two times and didn't cry.
C: I was riding fast on my BMX and didn't fall off.
Miss Bell: So if you were brave when you did these things then what do you think bravery is?
Claire: It is not crying.
