Life Skills

Growth Mindset

In recent life skills lessons, we have been exploring the concept of growth mindset.

Having a growth mindset doesn’t only benefit children. Today, we will be exploring how having a growth mindset could help teachers to improve as well!

Take a look at the following videos and questions.

Is the teacher doing a good job?

What could he do to improve?

In this difficult situation, how could he demonstrated a growth mindset?

Has there been any improvement since the first scene?

What’s he still doing wrong?

How could a growth mindset have improved the teacher’s relationship with class?

Your task this afternoon is to design the perfect teacher. Think carefully about which aspects of growth mindset would be the most important.

Below are a few examples to help you.

Remember to upload your work so we can look at your ideas and demonstrate a growth mindset ourselves!

15:00-15:30

Spend some time on TT Rock Stars.

  1. Charlotte has completed today 25 November 2020.

    Last night Charlotte did maths the mean number sequence.

    Learnt about the Owl and The Pussy Cat

    X Tables Charlotte learnt

  10. The kindergarten cop videos were hilarious, the teacher sounded out of control , he needed to blow a whistle for their attention and maybe give them activities to get them to calm down. He was better on the 2nd video but he was bad tempered still and scaring them. He needs to be a little more friendly and give them some rules about going to the toilet if they were really desperate. It made me chuckle.

  11. Hi. I’ve uploaded my reading & warm up. I will do my writing now. (Everyday I’ve uploaded Reading & Warm Up but I’m doing Maths & Topic on paper)

  18. My writing and maths has been uploaded. Writing today was tricky 🙁 I completed AR quizzes too for some of my favourite stories and scored 100%

    1. I’ve had a look at your work Alex, it was so nice of your Nan to knit you a blanket during lock down and I also liked how you justified the including of your phone (yes a common object) but that it includes all of your photos and video memories, well done.

  20. Jasmine says “I have read the matchbox diary for the second time. The ending was even more enjoyable this time because there were no distractions!”

  32. My opinion on The Matchbox Diary is, it is a really good book over-all. Although, what really caught my art was the art-style. I think the art work is detailed but not really detailed, in a good way because sometimes in books the art seems to look a bit more suitable once it is a little bit less detailed .(But this is only for some books.) I think I would give the book 4.5 out of 5 stars as I was really looking forward to having a bit more back-story of the other characters like the grandma, The school master or the school masters son because we don’t really have any information on these people. I definitely, would recommend this book to friends and family.
