Thinking Skills School Program
Thinking
Skills is conducted by Mr. Stewart. He asks us to use the Six
Thinking Hats by Edward De Bono. We have constructed a travel
itinerary this term using the hats. We have learnt how to
construct mind maps and we have learnt and used some of the
Thinker's Keys. Thinking Skills is an enjoyable subject area, and
like Mr. Stewart says, "Why pay millions of dollars to talk
to Edward de Bono when I can teach it?!" Orla Baker
