We are going to make some Art inspired by embroidery pieces they make there.

We made 3D shapes today to review some of the key vocabulary to describe the attributes of them.

We then did a Science experiment to test which shapes are stronger than others.

Ask your student which pillar/3D shape was the strongest and why we thought that might be.

New year, new mindset!
Today we discussed what a growth mindset was after reading The Magical Yet! By Angela DiTerlizzi.

We then read some scenarios where someone was stuck in a fixed mindset and gave them advice on how to change it to a growth mindset.
