Growth Mindset

We are using the our Growth Mindset and developing “Muscle Memory” (it’s not really from the muscles – it’s neurons making new connections)

The more we practice, the stronger and quicker these connections will grow.

This is the progression we are using:

• One scarf arcing from hand to hand.
• Two scarves swapping in the air – throw, throw, catch, catch.
• One tied scarf arcing from hand to hand.
• Two tied scarves swapping the air – throw, throw, catch, catch.
• One weighted scarf arcing in the air.
• Two weighted scarves swapping in the air – throw, throw, catch, catch.
• One ball arcing from hand to hand.
• Two balls swapping in the air – throw, throw, catch, catch.
• Three tied scarfs
• Three balls!
• Three hoops!!
• Three flaming torches!!!
• Three chainsaws!!!! 😂

(We will stop at 3 juggling balls – the rest of the journey is up to you!)

Gymnastics

We have been practising forward rolls and backwards rolls on mats and higher platforms. We also took some amazing photos of people making tuck, star (we love the star shape!) and pike shapes in the air when using the high boxes.

Games Design

We were working in small teams to make sustainable board games with fair rules that would encourage people to play well together.

Snap a Story

For World Book Day we recreated scenes from books using our Teamwork Makes the Dream Work and Lego building skills.

Can you guess which stories these scenes are from?
