thinking

===The challenge for the teachers of this unit was to create an atmosphere of wonder and inquiry, of challenge and deep levels of thinking. In this particular unit of work the teachers wanted to focus on encouraging the children to wonder and discover things about the world around them.=== Activities designed throughout the unit focussed on developing a higher level of thinking particularly through reflection and metacognition and through creative problem solving. One such example was having the children work together to create the ideal habitat for a creature.
