Mr Tonkin showed us this great cycling video and I thought it was worth sharing with you. The kids were 'wowed' and we had just watched the Growth Mindset video so we appreciated how long he would have had to challenge himself and persevere to get this good.
Enjoy!
P.S. Make sure you watch it to the end!
We also watched this clip about a boy who took advice and kept trying until he was happy with the result he got in his work. The kids and I discussed the positive feedback he got and the fact that he took the advice and used it to make his work better.
This is the official classroom blog and we will be using this year to show you some of our work and to keep you up-to-date on more happenings in our class.
The Class Dojo blog is great but has some limitations when it comes to sharing videos and full-sized photos etc. However, I can use the dojo blog to post links to this and visa-versa.
Today we were talking about neurons and we saw that rats can learn and increase their brain size so we wondered whether other animals could too. This got us talking about Koko. Check out this cool video of Koko communicating with her friend.
And if you want to say, "Awwww!" check out this one of Koko and some kittens.
