The return of ‘Thinking Thursdays’

The Learning Enhancement Team delivers a programme which incorporates Philosophy, Resilience, Teambuilding and Mindfulness with all pupils from Nursery to Primary 7 taking part.

Every Thursday, pupils spend time discussing a thought-provoking question with their teachers and some of the answers are shared on this blog and also via the Learning Enhancement Twitter.
