The children in Year 1 and Year 2 having been practising their teamwork today. First each group had a discussion about how we can work well in a team. Then the children spoke about what we need to do in school to learn and how to overcome challenges. Finally they got the chance to put this into practice in their challenge. The children had to work in a group of 4 to move the cups from a line of 6 into a pyramid formation without using their hands. Instead they had to use an elastic band with some string attached. The task required communication, perseverance and problem solving. As usual the children did a fantastic job.

Today Class 5 led an assembly all about the brain. The children shared their knowledge of the various parts of the brain using the pictures and props that they had created. They then talked about how we can help the brain grow, how mistakes and perseverance are key to learning.

Today the children continued with their important work on neuroscience! They had a re-cap of how neurons in the brain work. We then discussed what we can do to help build neural pathways in our brain. The children realised the value of perseverance, independent learning and using classroom displays to help them to solve problems.

Following this work, some children played the game “refraction” where points are awarded for perseverance and trying new strategies to solve problems. Other children made pictures and collages of neurons.
