Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy - Talking about a monster
- Adult:
- Right, Daniel, would you like to stand up? Is this yours?
- Child 1:
- Yes.
- Adult:
- Excellent. Now, you told me this had a very special name. Can you remember what you called it?
- Adult:
- Just leave it Holly.
- Child 1:
- A monster.
- Adult:
- A monster! But it had…
- Child 1:
- Fantastic Four.
- Adult:
- The Fantastic Four, right, let's have a look at this. Do you want to go all the way over there and hold onto the other end of his arm?
- Child 1:
- Yes.
- Adult:
- Try not to break it off! Be careful.
- Adult:
- Daniel, what special powers does your monster have, does he have any?
- Child 1:
- Yes.
- Adult:
- What special powers?
- Child 1:
- Force.
- Adult:
- Force! And what does he use for force?
- Child 1:
- Protects himself full of bricks.
- Adult:
- Oh, right, OK. Now this, you would think, would be an arm, but it isn't. It's coming out of his…
- Children:
- His head.
- Adult:
- Isn't it! So not only has this monster got a very, very long arm - look how far Daniel is over there - it's an incredibly tall monster as well, nearly, in fact, as tall as Miss Tillding. And, Harry, if you stand up…
- Child 2:
- [stands up.]
- Adult:
- This monster is, actually, taller than Harry.
