Karen Boyes Observation

Started with a poem about what a habit is.

Talked about what the habits are.

Look inside your head - before you move. Chd had to move to sit in a circle on the mat. Took some coaxing but they were able to sort the problem out.

Talked about sign language - how would you make a sign language for magic? For brain? Taught chd how to sign "I have a magic brain."

Had chd fold an A4 paper like a hot dog bun. Made a magic booklet. Looks like an "m."

Had partners choose to be an apple and an orange.

Chd drew a squiggle on their booklet. Swapped with partners and had to turn squiggle into something else. Many drew ice cream (Karen had used that as an example), but some variation. Repeated this with different shape. More variation the second time.

Afterwards, asked chd to partner up and come up with five things that help learning and five things that aren't good for learning.
