| Abstract: | ‘Thinking schools’ will be sites of learning for everyone declared the Singapore Prime Minister, Goh Chok and Minister of
Education Teo Chee Hean’s in 1997 also spoke on the model of’ ‘thinking schools, learning nation’. Gardner’s model was used
for the thinking school model in Singapore, in order to develop critical and creative thinking in students. This was to be
done with the use of instructional technology as an enabling tool using a diversity of approaches including integrated project
work. This paper reports on how one school went about changing approaches to teaching and learning by implementing integrated
project work as a way of integrating the content areas of the curriculum, mathematics and science through English language,
