LLC - 'Hot seating'

This week Mrs Abel did a 'hot seating' activity with her class. She pretended to be Goldilocks when she put a mask on and told her class all about her adventure in the woods and what she did when she found a pretty little cottage. At certain points in the story she stopped and asked the children to think of a question they could ask her.


She explained that a question starts with what, why, when, who and where. The children were encouraged to use their 'thinking thumbs' to think of a suitable question and then lift them up to tell Mrs Abel that they had thought of a good question to ask. It was quite hard to think of questions but some of the children did very well. The children are now going to have a turn at being in the hot seat, maybe as another character from the story.
