Life education

Why is having a growth mindset important?

How can we show resilience?

We need a really strong Te Whare Tapa Wha to have good overall well-being. 

We remembered the 4 pillars that make our house (our Houora) strong.

Taha Hinengaro

Neuroplasticity - you're brain is able to be trained. You can learn new things and make new connections.

Hanging with Harold

We are learning about our brains with Life Education.

Today we learned about WHAM attacks. We had great examples of when we have them because we've all had them!

WHAM attack

Waiting

Hard

Angry

Mean

The Head Hustler takes your learning and your fun away from you. This sets on when we have a Fixed Mindset. He makes us think "just give up", "why try", "you're rubbish at this". He's not telling the truth... it's a wham attack stealing your learning from you. 

The Mind Master is our growth mindset and helps us make a great choice.

GRIT

Give it your all.

Resolve your problems -communicate

You are important. Know your worth.

Be tenacious - don't give up.

Take the time to do it right -have pride in what you do.

Ignore the temptation to give up! 

Redo if necessary - improve.

Life Education

We had a bit of technical difficulty today... so Life Education had to move into our hall.

We talked about identity...(who we are)... and about our reputation.

Reputation: the way in which other people look at you.

We discussed the reputation that our school has. We gave awesome teachers. The teachers and the children care for you & it's a nice community. We welcome newcomers by being kind and showing them around and making them feel at home. You're not allowed to be mean and have to be nice to one another. 

We looked at words that might describe us. We came up with 3 that people might use to describe us.
