Throughout the year we have focused on de Bono's white hat (facts or the truth about things). We have used the white hat when we are researching and writing reports from our reading material.
This term we are going to re-look at the other 5 de bono thinking hats to see what the children remember about them from their time in Room 6 and 7. The aim is to start using them more in our everyday programme. The thinking hats promote higher order thinking and are a first step to other things like Bloom's Taxonomy and Thinkers Keys.
The "hats" help the children to look at pieces of information in different ways...
White - the facts
Black - making judgements
Yellow- the benefits
Red - feelings
Green - creativity
Blue - thinking about thinking
