Growth Mindset & The Brain
In Grade 5/6 we are learning what it means to have a Growth Mindset. We are investigating more about how the brain works and why this means we can learn anything! Struggling with something new can be frustrating, but is a good thing! In order to make progress we need to have a positive attitude, a belief that we can indeed improve and learn learn new things. We are focusing on developing persistence when facing challenges, learning from others, reflecting on our effort and how this can be improved, and supporting and encouraging each other.
