Mrs Sturrock visited P2 and 3 and told us all about our brain and how it works.

We asked her lots of questions such as:

Do hamsters have the smallest brain?

What makes you you?

Can the brain break?

Does the right side of the brain control the left? (Ewan, who was trying to trick our special guest)

How is there enough space for everything in your mind?

The big message from the Educational Psychologist was that we need to challenge our minds to help it grow and that we learn from our mistakes. Sometimes we have to overlearn to remember information that we learn!

We learnt the big words neuroplasticity and neurons.
