Growth Mindset
Tostart our year, we have been exploring the importance of growth mindset. Using Flight School, a book about a Penguin who has a ‘Soul of an Eagle’, was the perfect book to help us do this. We have used Flight School to understand the importance of resilience and friendship whilst also using this as a chance to develop our scientifically knowledge of animals and how to classify them. To finish our growth mindset focus we created our own sequel of Flight School.
