Thinking and leaning is to do with learning about the brain. This is split into 2 sections.

Lesson 1 was quite interesting. The 2 teachers took turns at dressing up and being the host. They would act out different characters and you had to answer questions that the teacher would ask you about. Also you had to work out who would get along. We also had to watch a slide show about the brain. Also we got a story read to us. It was a book about a stone that didn’t fit in any walls or anywhere but at the end there was a spot for him. The book was read so we could see the different diversities.

We also learnt about the two sides of the brain and that the two halves could be cut in half again. That’s when the teachers introduced us to HBDI (Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument). This would show all of us individually what quadrient was the strongest. We did this by circling the questions that sounded like us. Then we put it in a graph kind of thing.

Lesson 2 was about the different quadrants. The first part we did was the teacher would give you your strongest brain colour. Then he put you into groups. You then all got given this quiz thing called Zooley where you had to answer some questions by looking at the pictures. You first all did it individually then you did it in your groups. The teacher went around the different groups and would ask them to read out the question and give their answer. Then once you found out the answers the teacher asked you to answer a few questions about how you were a team player. The second half of the lesson was when you added up all your teams coloured scores together. Then you put it in a pie graph. Then the teams had to discuss what was their 8 areas of strength, what was the 4 areas of weakness and strategies to make the weaknesses stronger.
