Building our failure "muscles"





Week 11, final week of term, we got the opportunity to return to our failed mindset challenges
 This group returned to the Brainy box and got the lamp
 to glow and the fan to spin.


 Others, who failed this challenge in the past, managed to power the digital clock using coke power and apple. Success.
This group having had success with the other challenges tried to power the lamp with salt dough,
(the sugar dough had gone off!) Failure. But take a look at their faces, they don't look unhappy.
We are beginning to openly talk about our failures, stand back and critically judge our skills.
In fact, all our challenges using the salt and sugar dough failed. We did see a youtube clip showing us how it was meant to work.
