Short week!

We have been developing our self-assessment skills this week. We used our writing piece about the battle of Stirling Bridge for this. We will do more practice on this skill over the coming weeks/months as it’s very important that we are able to identify where we have been successful and where we could do more to enhance our work.

Continuing with the work we are doing to develop our learning mindset and thinking skills Mrs D posed the question, “Was Einstein born smart?” After much discussion we agreed that we don’t think he was. From this we are beginning to understand that the way we think of ourselves as learners can help us to learn better and reach our potential. Mrs D also set us a practical challenge to solve. We had to work with a partner to tie a shoe lace using only our left hand. This was very tricky at times. Here are some pictures and comments…..

Scott – teamwork was important

Lennox – we needed to give each other clear instructions

Ciaran – it was a fun way to learn about working in a team

Eva – you had to be able to listen carefully and work together

Have a great weekend!
