Thinking Skills is an integral feature of the Foundation Stage. This resource includes 120 cross-curricular questions. Choose one question to display EVERY morning for the children and make it part of CT. This will encourage those weaker students to participate. You can choose several children to answer the question or the class as a whole. You can use this as part of your assessment, questions you should ask yourself- -Can children ask questions and express the need to find out more? - Are they self-critical? Do they accept suggestions from others? Are they open to challenge? -Can they sort, order and classify information? -Can they brainstorm? -Do they appear confident? This resource will develop a high quality thinking environment in the Early Years. It will enhance learning and enable quality thinking experiences. Included- 120 Questions in Powerpoint Format (I have also included the pdf, if you want to print and laminate you can) This resource can also be used for Year 1.
