At Haumoana School we use a range of Thinking Tools to
encourage us to think in more depth and detail.
De Bono’s 6 thinking hats
are a great example of this:
We refer to them every day in one way or another. They are up on the back wall so we can see
them.
We can use them to think about a topic we are working on for
example Anzac Day where we can use our White Hat to look at the facts, our Red
Hat to think of the feelings involved with seeing our family members going off
to war, our Black hat to think of the disadvantages of war, and our Yellow Hat
where we can enjoy stories like the Bantam and the Soldier, where we can see
special relationships and bonds formed during
war time.
In Room 7 we use our Green Creative hat quite a bit. Incorporating creativity and design into our
busy curriculum can be often overlooked but, it is an equally important way for
the children to express themselves.
We were very impressed with Maggie’s wonderful Green Hat
Creativity when she brought in her framed picture she had completed at her art
class.
Another great talent
in the making. Well done Maggie.
