The goals of this programme are: to develop positive thinking and improve children’s concept of themselves as thinkers and learners; to develop critical thinking and improve children’s ability to reason and reflect on their thinking; to develop creative thinking and flexibility of thought.  This programme provides teachers with a manageable framework for teaching thinking in the complex reality of today’s schools; it introduces a broad range of skills in positive, critical and creative thinking, considers how we can motivate children to want to use the skills and emphasises the development of metacognition to help children monitor and direct their own thinking.  The material is child and teacher friendly.  It introduces fun characters to model the thinking strategies, how to overcome obstacles to good thinking and how to take control of their own feelings and thinking.  The material is intellectually challenging, with issues of real concern, that can be applied to real-life situations and provide explicit linkswith functioning in the real world for children.  It provide self-assessment checks to give feedback on progress and to promote the child’s self-esteem.  It emphasises humour – to liberate creativity and provoke higher-order thinking.
