Resting heart rate

Resting heart rate means the number of times your heart beats each minute when you're not moving around. The normal time that your heart beats is 60-100 beats per minute. If yours is under 60 it is called tachycardia and if yours is over 100 it is called bradycardia.

Growth and Fixed Mindset

Growth Mindset

A growth mindset is when a person that keeps failing or not being able to do something but they keep trying and trying until they get better and be good at the thing they are trying to do.

Fixed Mindset

A fixed mindset is the opposite of a growth mindset, it is when a person that tries to do something but they failed to do it so they would just stop instead of practising.

How can we have a Growth Mindset

We can have a growth mindset by practising something that we're not quite good at or something new that we want to try and if we failed at doing that instead of saying "I can't do it" we say " I can't do it yet". 

Drama Term 3

Today we played some games such as...

• Copy circle
• Taquila 
• 16/16
• Word association 
• Name gestures 

We played these games to warm up our bodies, the games are also about being focused.

This term we are going to write a monologue and we have to write a paragraph about our characters, this is also part of our audition to show what we can do.

The audition that we are doing can be sing or a monologue, a monologue is when a person acts out a character.

My finished comic

This week is our last week of Art Kete, we are also putting our artwork on display for people to see.

My favourite part of  Art Kete is drawing my comic and putting it all together. I think I was successful in completing my hero's journey because I included the hero's journey into my comic. The thing that is would change for next time is to do my outlining a bit neater. I showed Commitment by having the right gear and by taking the time to finish it.
