Amazing Brains

BLAST OFF! - Year 8 Blast Off has been designed to enable students to develop effective study habits. Research shows that the earlier habits are embedded the higher the chance of success. This programme is guaranteed to help your students make a success of their transition to secondary school. Students will take part in a series of interactive and motivational activities which will introduce them to multiple intelligences and show them how they are smart in many different ways. Students will: • meet their Command Centre - their Amazing Brain ; • learn what is required to keep their brain healthy; • come to understand that their brain constantly changes in response to their environment and to what they experience; • realise that the brain is like a muscle, so that it grows stronger with use; • hear about the growth mindset that they can become more smart, more intelligent, more clever, by hard work and effort; • learn the importance and benefits of working in peer groups; • learn new ways to improve their memory and practise some of them; • come to understand what is meant by ’ACTIVE’ learning.
