Growth Mindset Growth

We have been learning about Growth Mindset, we have added Mindset Quotes to our tree.

Reciprocal Reading

We are leading our own reading.  We each get to have a turn to be a leader, predictor, questioner, clarifyier, and summariser.  We are having lots of interesting discussions about the texts we are reading.

We all have a Growth Mindset in Room 14 - We can do anything!

My Class Like Living in Boxes

We have been busy designing an Olympic Village out of boxes.  We drew plans from a bird's eye view, our village looks quite different from these plans.  All week we have been working in our boxes.  I have seen more co-operation this week than on any other project we have done this year.

When designing our village we still had to keep practical class function in mind.  We needed to have two fire exits from the room and I wanted mat space where we could all gather as a team for learning.

Here are some great websites that compliment our learning, check them out!

Sugar in Food

Mrs Robb came to talk to us about being Label Detectives.

Mia learnt that Cocoa Pops has more than 15g (which is our recommended amount).

 Neerav found that cartoon characters on boxes of cereal means they will have more sugar in it.

Tanya found out that Powerade has the same amount of sugar as 12 chocolate chip cookies.
