In PSHE today, Year Three were seeking to -
Express opinions and listen to those of others
Consider others' points of view
Practise explaining the thinking behind their ideas and opinions
To support this development, we completed a range of activities including exploring THUNKS together.
Thunks are questions that have no right or wrong answer but will require children to think and express their opinions, possibly challenging other opinions, remembering to be respectful and courteous as they do so.
Please see below for some examples -
Is there more future or past?
Is black a colour?
If I switch the lights off does the wall change colour?
Can you cast a shadow into a dark room?
In a dark room what does a mirror reflect?
Can you touch the wind?
Can you touch a rainbow?
Is a broken down car parked?
Is there more happiness or sadness in the world?
Can you feel happy and sad at the same time?
Does lined paper weigh more than blank paper?
Is it ever OK to cheat?
Can you make up your own THUNKS at home?
We would love to hear any that you come up with.
