Resilience
We think "Resilience" means taking comments and feedback on and fixing the problem

=The Oxford Dictionary on line= Definition of **resilience** in English

=**Week 2**= Today we looked at what is needed to create an plan

Throughout the session we also referred back the the 5 keys of being a successful learner- These are the important "learning muscles" that we are learning to strengthen as we are learning through CmPS

Today we discussed scotomas- and how we don't always see the solution to problems straight away. Mr Jones demonstrated this with the "Whoops Jimmy" activity, optical illusions and a magic trick.
 * Week 4 Term Three**

We used sticky notes to plan our actions on the timeline, so that we could` plan and manage the limited time that we have to achieve our goal



Ryan has been doing some thinking and wrote some ideas at home about the problems at the front of school in the mornings. This included **what** the problems are and **why** they are a problems. The film group have discoveries that this was a useful summary that they could use in their movie script. So we discussed the importance of collaboration ( working together) for problem solving and being a 21st century learner. Mr Jones was away with the flu. This week we worked on our actions so that we can try and have some outcomes by the end of the term. - Mr Jones has a meeting next week so we needed to have things ready for the following week. One group should be ready to film in week 8- while the others are working on their actions
