Room 6 always tries to use a "Growth Mindset"

Earlier this year, we spent time learning about mindsets. We learnt that it is quite alright to make mistakes, so long as we are prepared to learn from them. It is very important that we have the right attitude to mistakes. Mistakes show us what we need to work on. We are all improving, if you can't do something right now, just tell yourself that you can't do it yet. The word YET can be very powerful when we think about our mindset. Stay tuned to our blog over the next few weeks to see the rest of the videos in this Mindset series.

Room Six learns to Code


This term, Room 6 is using the website code.org to learn about how the computer programs we use and the websites we visit are made.

If we are literate in this way it will help us to understand and contribute to the digital parts of our society when we are older.

When we use code.org, there is lots of reading and mathematical thinking for us to do.
