Growth Mindset Episodes

Rio Paralympics

We watched this inspiring video today about the Paralympics. They are so talented. We discussed what we could learn from this e.g. never give up/nothing is impossible. We really think they are the true heroes of the Olympics.

The Lorax Film

We are watching this short film at the moment to help us learn about how to take care of the environment. What can you learn from this video?

Room 6

Mandarin Lessons

Every Monday we have Mandarin lessons. This week we were singing to songs which helps us learn to count in numbers and how to ask what is your name.

We are going to practise these songs for next Monday! Feel free to learn along to.

Rainbow Poetry

Today we had Judi Billcliff come and speak to the senior school students. She talked about her grandchildren and how they inspired her poems. Some of us even got to act parts from the poem. We loved how she showed us that anything around you can become a poem. We also loved how she showed us to NEVER let kids drive cars. We also learnt how it is important to get advice off your audience when writing (she get's advice off kids!). She also had a great sense of humor which made it really engaging. It was also great how she got the audience members involved in what she was doing. She has inspired us to do some poems about our Grandmas....watch this space!!
