Metacognition thinking map linked to contexts & thinking about how the body reacts

Supporting metacognition work and behaviour. Have used the CBT theory model to adapt a thinking map for KS2, and two different style for KS1.

To help children remember it through each part connecting to one another I’ve called it hot cross bun thinking map…

Use it for metacognition work in class around situations, problem contexts, group work.

Also used to English lessons - looking at how a character maybe in a certain situation and asking class in groups, pairs or individuals to be the character at that point, how would they feel, how would their body react etc. This can then be used to generate ideas for written work later on.

Also to support pupil behaviour to help them complete this as part of a reflection on what the situation was, how it made them feel what was their actions. Then state that if the situation had been dealt with in a different way how would each section look different. Works well as whole school level.
