MIND LAB THINKING DAYS

Our highly enjoyable and stimulating Thinking Day will help your pupils to develop:

• Thinking skills
• Collaboration and team working skills
• Communication skills
• Problem solving skills
• The ability to learn from mistakes
• Greater self confidence

During a Thinking Day a specialist Mind Lab teacher will bring all the games and materials to run classes with your pupils throughout the day. Our classes will give your pupils a taste of our research proven methodology which provides pupils with the thinking skills they need to succeed academically and in life. The Mind Lab curriculum enables children of all abilities to gain in confidence, self awareness, use their multiple intelligences to further develop a love for learning.

The Thinking Day could also include a school wide assembly about thinking and strategy, a thinking wall of puzzles and problems during the lunchtime and a parent pupil game playing evening that night. The day could be designed around a theme of your choice such as independent thinking and creativity.
