Thinking Skills & Personal Capabilities
Thinking skills are tools that help children to go beyond the acquisition of knowledge in order to search for meaning, apply ideas, analyse patterns and relationships, create and design something new and monitor and evaluate their progress.
Personal and interpersonal skills and capabilities underpin success in all aspects of life.
