Year 5 Pit Day!

The Year 5 classes were busy this week with a day full of challenges, teamwork, mistakes and achievements. We have been learning about the Learning Pit, Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset and Learning Behaviours. The Pit Day was designed to test some of these concepts. Challenges included a code to decipher, a construction from straws and tape, an area to cover and a drama to plan. Here are a few groups at work...

 ...at the end of the day we had a time of reflection where students were able to discuss the successes and frustrations as well as nominate others who they noticed were being helpful in some way.
