This Term our Unit of Study aims to develop childrens' critical thinking skills using 'Wonderland' as an exploratory base. This week we have been turning our classrooms into Wonderlands and used fantastic creativity and team work to do so. We have also been introducing fairy tales and asking questions using De Bono's Thinking Hats to make us think more deeply about the story. There are 6 Hats and each makes the user look at the situation in a different way.
The Melbourne Cup is a Public Holiday so no students will be required at school.
