AWSUM NEWS OCTOBER 2017
Parents were invited to an open morning to see Thinking Skills in action. They could wander around to the various grades for the morning and listen in, witness and actually use some of the tools. Overall, the morning was a great success and so much fun. The parents seemed to find value in actually completing their own tasks using the tools, as they gleaned a much better understanding of how they work in practice.
