Year 5 Brainwave Entry Point

We are learning about our brain and how we teach and learn new information. We were able to get the children to memorise a list of twenty random words in about 5 minutes. By creating a story and adding actions we surprised ourselves with the brain's ability to commit so much information to memory in a short time. In truth we often underestimate our capacity for learning information. There's no longer an excuse not to score 10/10 in our weekly spellings!
