=A Thinking Pedagogy= =Habits of Mind= Here is a link to Costa and Kallick who have been part of our background reading and individual growth for our teachers. We see this work by Costa and Kallick`s `Habits of Mind` being available so that children can personalise their learning and the Habits will be tools that will be provided in all our classrooms. Children will leave our learning centre with Higher Order Thinking Skills.

Have a look at this site for your own understanding...

=**It's not always the easiest job in the world, but each of us taps unknown strengths to do the very best we can for our children.**= This video's called the **"Strongest Dad in the World".** Take a 4 minutes to watch and reflect on the great job you're doing and remember we're all here for the same reason - imagine what we can achieve when we work together. media type="youtube" key="f4B-r8KJhlE" width="425" height="350"
