Thinking Hats Hopefully, your child will have spoken to you about the launch of our school using a Thinking Hat approach. The six thinking hats are a colour coded way to demon-strate different ways children can tackle questions whilst providing them with a scaffold to problem solve, explore ideas and articulate their thought processes.

You will have noticed that your child no longer has a reading record. This year, we are trialling a new way to record your child’s reading choices and experi-ences of reading at home. Each time your child reads a book, fill in a leaf telling us the title, author of the book that they have read and adding a sentence/review of the book. Each leaf will then be added to your child’s class reading tree.
