Mindsets - Fixed or Growth??

Over the past few days we have begun talking about mindsets. According to a very knowledge and well known lady called Carol Dweck we all either have a fixed or growth mindset. The differences between the to are shown in the poster below.

Clearly we'd all like our children to have a growth mindset - to believe that even though they don't know how to do something 'yet', they can learn it.

We watched the video below and discussed the meaning and how it relates to us and our learning.

Somehow during the discussion, we got on to what the children would like to be when they grow up. This ended up being our writing task for the day! Check out your child's blog to see what they'd like to do when they leave school and to find out their ideas of growth and fixed mindsets. 

Below are also a couple of images that are now hanging in our room.
