The Power of Yet - Pukeko Nest (Kidd) have been writing about growth mindsets!
In episode 3 of Class Dojo, Katie is the smartest kid in school. However, she was afraid to ask for help when she couldn't do something, as she was worried her friends would laugh at her. Click on the video below to watch what your children have been writing about today.

Mouse Trap
Pukeko Nest Gain have been talking a lot about having an open mind and not giving up. If we can't do something we have to keep on trying and think of different ways to solve our problems. The children loved watching this (with a happy ending!) and wish to share their own stories they wrote retelling the event.

Growth Mindset - Never give up!
This week the children (Pukeko Kidd) have learned how if we don't give up on a task, and keep on trying, our brains actually grow!
Click here to watch this week's episode of Class Dojo, and read your child's writing:
Today we learnt about sound. We learnt that sound is vibrations which travel through a medium (air) to our ear. Our eardrum then vibrates and our brain interprets this as sound. We did an experiment which showed us how sound works. We put hundreds and thousands on top of some glad wrap which was wrapped really tightly around a bowl. We practiced the sounds of letters which then made the hundreds and thousands move. Mr B showed us how it was done before we had a turn. The louder the noise we made the more the hundreds and thousands moved. Some even went flying on to the table. Then the best part happened and we got to eat all the hundreds and thousands.
