Fish Sticks
What did we hear? What attitudes and skills might these comments and conversations reveal?
‘Can someone stand on the paper and we’ll swap over in a minute’
‘Let me build one too.’
‘No, we have to make the fish swim the other way.’
‘Now, you have a go.’
‘Hmm. That was four sticks. We can only move three.’
`It’s going in this direction but it needs to go in this direction!’
‘Maybe if we just move the fins?’
‘It’s facing the other way!’
‘No, it should be facing that way.’
‘No, it just says 'the other' way not the ‘opposite’ way. If it’s supposed to face that way, then it should say the ‘opposite’ way.’
‘This is confusing!’
‘We need to put it back to the start and try again.’
