Isabella's Passion Project

My Goal

My goal was to record a song and create a music video to the song. I chose this because I love to sing and make videos.

My Process

•Book a recording studio session

•Record song

•Research how to make a music video

•Film music video

•Edit video

•Upload to YouTube

Reflection

I have learnt a lot about what it takes to make a music video and I have gained skills like filming, editing, getting things done on time and many more. Passion Project has been a given me a feel of the kind of thing I would like to do when I get older and I will definitely be making more videos in the future. Overall I am very proud of my project and can’t wait to continue with my project!

Success at Spelling Quiz!

Outstanding Success 

@ Canterbury Extra! Spelling Quiz!

This week, Selwyn House was ably represented by 12 of our top Year 7 and 8 spellers at this annual spelling quiz. The girls were involved in 10 rounds of questions that tested everything from their knowledge of words and their country of origin, through dictionary skills, root words and endings, proofreading and mystery word rounds, to more traditional spelling testing of words taken from commonly misspelled lists.

It is our very great pleasure to announce that the Selwyn House team of Kathleen King, Harriet Compton-Moen and Lucy Jessep have been crowned champions in the Year 7 and 8 competition with a grand total of 97 out of 100 - beating out 81 other teams. Congratulations girls - this was a hard fought win and we are very proud of you.

Thank you to all the girls who were selected to represent Selwyn House - you performed remarkably, with all teams placed well inside the top half of the teams.

Growth Mindset - Teaching the Year 3 and 4s

“GROWTH MINDSET”

Teaching the Year 3 and 4s

For our U.O.I we have been looking at what a Growth Mindset is, and how we can have a growth mindset. A Growth Mindset is when you challenge your brain to work harder and learn more, and try your best. A Fixed Mindset is when you already think you are good enough or if you think you can’t do it so you don’t try. People with a Growth Mindset will eventually overtake those with a Fixed Mindset.

Last Tuesday we taught the Year 3 and 4 girls about what a Growth Mindset is. Each group from 8PR had designed a different set of activities. There were a lot of different ways to present the information, from videos to puzzles! To teach the year 3 and 4s was quite challenging, but fun. It taught us a lot about how to teach younger kids and also helped up to put into place what we had learnt ourselves about both Leadership and having a Growth Mindset.

By the end of the session the Year 3 and 4 girls had a great understanding of what it means to have a Growth Mindset - they have even put it into their Essential Agreement for this year!

"I can't do it...yet!"
