We've had a great first week back at school in Room 2.
This week we participated in a whole heap of activities around a story called Little Red's Cookie Catapult. This story was a slight variation of Little Red Riding Hood in which Little Red is trying to get her cookies to Granny. The wolf however gets in her way and eats them all up! We've talked a lot about growth mindsets as well. Granny doesn't have a growth mindset as she thinks
" The wolf is too clever, I'm ready to give up" and "I just knew this wouldn't work!" Little Red however has a growth mindset and says" Don't give up Granny. My secret path through the forest didn't work so I will have to find another one." and " I have learned from my mistakes... I will have to think of another way to get the cookies to Granny." As part of this we had to design our our own catapult to get some cookies to Grandma. We had to show our problem solving skills and display a growth mindset, especially when our plans didn't work.
We also had fun icing and decorating our own biscuits.
