My What Big Feet You Have
Not you, Mrs. Phillips....
The chicks are growing so quickly!
Number Challenge
These resilient chaps are making long number lines. What number will they get up to?
Chick News
The chicks are getting bigger by the minute. Yellow chick weighs 70 marbles today. That is more than 3 times more than he or she weighed 2 weeks ago!
They will be off on their holidays with Frankie today. How big will they be when we come back to school?
Will the children have grown as much as the chicks?
Chick Weighing Time
We use our mini marbles to weigh the yellow chick. On Friday 8th May, chick weighed 21 marbles. On Friday 15th it was 43 marbles. Today (Tuesday 19th) the chick weighs 60 marbles.
What a good job the children in Willow don't grow that fast...
Here comes chick...how exciting!
After a long writing session, Josh has a rest on the windowsill!
Getting Ready to Race
Don't forget to check which team you are in for Sports Day on Friday 5th June. Please wear a t-shirt in your team colour. The lists are up on Willow whiteboard and Willow parent notice board.
Willow Class Wish List
Could you help us out with any of these things to make our outdoor learning area even better?
Pop Star Performance
On stage in Willow Class today...
Designers and Engineers
In Willow, we have been using small Lego to make vehicles. We are drawing our models and making notes so that we can make the model again. Perhaps we will be able to design our models before we make them next time!
Can you beat the timer?
We worked to see how many nuts and bolts together in 30 seconds.
Rain doesn't stop play!
Splashing and cycling through the large puddles.
Enjoying the rain!
Splashing in puddles!
Collecting water from the stream.
Building continues even in the rain!
Willow Invents
What will we make in our new garage?
Story Making
These girls are making their own version of The Little Red Hen. They are changing the characters on a story map. There is even an octopus in one of the stories now!
Sharing
We are learning about halves this week. These children are sharing glass beads between 2. Mrs. Phillips looks like she is working at a casino!
Teddy Bears Picnic
We shared the food equally between the two bears to make things fair.
Weighing our Chicks
The yellow chick weighs the same as 21 of our tiny marbles. We think we will need more marbles next week.

Carol Dweck - Growth Mindset TED talk
Follow this link to Carol Dweck's talk on Growth Mindset, filmed in November 2014
Carol Dweck researches “growth mindset” — the idea that we can grow our brain's capacity to learn and to solve problems. In this talk, she describes two ways to think about a problem that’s slightly too hard for you to solve. Are you not smart enough to solve it … or have you just not solved it yet? A great introduction to this influential field.'
