05.01.2022 On Thursday..... From the moment the student enters the room, the captivating performer takes them on a 45-minute journey filled with humour, yo-yo and magic tricks, puppetry, and storytelling. The Live-Stream assembly introduces a cartoon boy named NED who is on a very important mission: to find his mindset. Led by clues and memorable characters, he overcomes Mt. Everests toughest obstacles, uncovers inner-treasures on a Caribbean island, and grows his brain while repairing... a sputtering spaceship. Throughout the performance, your students discover how to activate their growth mindset to overcome social, emotional and academic challenges. Inspiring students to: Never give up - understand the Power of yet Encourage others - spark courage in other people Do your best - always be learning and growing Students will be bringing home a form today which will let you know the cost of the Yo-Yos should you wish to purchase. For more information regarding this performance please see attached clip below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn8EgAYdfHI See more
