Start the day on a thought and make an immediate difference to teaching and learning in your school. Start Thinking will bring enjoyment, creativity and challenge to your classroom and improve the thinking skills of your pupils.
This book collects more than 100 thinking-skills starter activities to get children excited about their own thinking and to develop their powers of independent learning. The starters are arranged into chapters on words, numbers, science, creativity and philosophy so you can easily choose the most appropriate challenge for your pupils.
Start Thinking is written by teachers at Westbury Park School in Bristol. They found that using the starters encouraged pupils to exercise their minds through essential thinking processes such as questioning, comparing, prioritising, recognising patterns and thinking methodically. The teachers were amazed at how much children enjoyed the starters and benefited from them. Children seemed to grow in confidence, persistence and their enthusiasm for learning changed the climate of teaching and learning in their school, by inspiring enquiry and independent learning across the curriculum.
