This week 5B was set a challenge.

Our challenge was to fold a rectangular bit of paper into this shape. We had two rules we were not allowed to touch the model and you only got one piece of paper. We had work in teams of 6 and we had ten minutes to figure it out.

After just three minutes some of the class said

“it’s impossible”

“how does it go together”

Logan: after the 10 minutes I felt frustrated because

Aaron: I was glad it was over.

Ben: I felt Mr Cunningham was using magic.

Freddie: I felt proud of myself for getting quite close.

After the ten minutes was up the class was asked if they had a growth mindset. We all thought that we did. We were surprised to find out that we said such negative things in a short space of time.

Then we made posters of phrases and words that made us feel really good and proud of ourselves. The words that meant the most were the biggest.

Reece (who missed this) I am glad to be back at school and I am glad to see all my friends and teachers.
