Brain Investigation

 We had a discussion about what the brain does. Here are some of our thoughts.

We also started a discussion about how our brain dreams and what makes nightmares.

We also discussed what our brain doesn't do - control other people, always make decisions that are good for us.

Squiggles

 Today we had a series of squiggles that we had to complete. We could make the squiggles into anything we wanted. We then had to use 3 of our squiggles to make up a story. 

It was not easy.

Power Thinkers Keys

 Lola and Reece decided to rank animals according to their level of power - then decided to create some actions that go with it.

One of the challenges was to make a paper plane fly without using human power - throwing or dropping it.

Here are some of the attempts.

Power

 We have been learning about power during our sessions.

• Power takes many forms

• Power is always present

• Power has an impact

• Power can be natural or constructed

• Power can be potential or actual

We had to make a model of power.

Renaissance
