NumBots Scrapheap Stories - A story about resilience and rebounding from mistakes., Flamingo and the Raft

Written by Tor Caldwell

Narrated by Nigel Pilkington

When Flamingo grows tired of getting cold legs in the Scrapheap lake, she realises she needs a raft! But building a raft is harder than she realises, and it's not all plain sailing.

At Maths Circle, our core purpose is to make children feel confident with maths.

Handling mistakes and dealing with failure is a big part of learning how to be resilient. Flamingo and the Raft teaches the valuable lesson that setbacks can be turned into stepping stones towards success.

We've created these audio stories and accompanying activities, all centred around the theme of growth mindset and resilience, to inspire confidence not just in maths, but in all areas of development. You can download the accompanying activities at numbots.com/audio-stories.
