Primary 2 Homework Week beginning 25.11.19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nativity<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have started rehearsing for our Christmas production \u2018Wriggly Nativity\u2019. The children are enjoying learning the songs and actions. Primary 2 will narrate the story. Please look out for your child\u2019s line (small slip of paper) in their homework folder and help them to practise it.\u00a0 Children should wear a Christmas t-shirt or jumper if possible with dark jeans\/leggings\/joggers.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t supply Christmas headwear for the show as it can prevent the audience seeing children in the row behind.<\/p>\n

The Christmas shows are on Friday 13th<\/sup> November at 10.30am and 1.45pm. Please see your child\u2019s homework folder for the letter with ticket arrangements, which should be returned by Friday 29th<\/sup> November.<\/p>\n

Growth Mindset<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today we talked about what learning is. We shared our ideas. Learning is trying to work something out. You need to listen to the teacher and classmates.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s about questions.\u00a0 You need to try hard.\u00a0 Mistakes are good- they help you to learn.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In class, we are going to start a question wall. We use the thinking routine I see\u2026 I think\u2026. I wonder\u2026<\/em><\/strong> to help encourage close observation, connections and generation of good questions, which will help us learn.<\/p>\n

We talked about the importance of mistakes<\/strong>. Sometimes we feel bad when we make mistakes but mistakes are an important part of learning. When we make a mistake, Neuroscience tells us that our brains grow more than, if we solve a problem right straight away.\u00a0 This tells us that we should not be afraid of making a mistake.\u00a0 Mistakes are good because the struggle we experience when challenged help us learn. We can all learn from our own and others\u2019 mistakes!<\/p>\n

We are going to celebrate mistakes. Every week we will look at a Marvellous Maths Mistake of the Week<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 We will use this as the basis for a class number talk and will work together to solve the problem and explain our thinking. When we make mistakes and we listen to others and try to understand- we enter the Learning Zone<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 If we make mistakes and do not remember that they can help us learn, it is easy to take short cuts that prevent us from learning and growing our brains, such as copying answers or avoiding work or challenge.<\/p>\n

Homework tasks this week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growth Mindset Homework-<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will look a Marvellous Mistake of the Week<\/em><\/strong> at the end of the week.\u00a0 Ask your child to tell you about mistake of the week- over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
