Absolutely brilliant. Usually at my school visits I have one or two of those. The ones that make you pause and say: "Now, that is a very good question." Trying to come up with a good answer. Or, more often, ANY answer at all.
I’m curious about the instructions given to the children about the questions they might ask. (Quite a variety of responses here.) Do you know? I’d love to see these children’s questions across time - weeks, years.
Grade one spelling is a joy. As a teacher, I loved deciphering it and seeing how much they’d internalised about spelling rules.
Who made texture? That one sent me down an existential rabbit hole!
“Why can we not do what we want?”
Yep, I feel ya, kiddo :)
Excellent questions. I think the answers, based on my very limited knowledge are:
They is, but only in authorised ghost offices.
Because they're a trained ninja.
Because they are chill dudes.
Because you still have seven more tests to complete to get your dog licence.
They can and will, but only if they try at hockey or football instead.
Sue.
Yes, and so are all the other star signs, even though Capricorn is ridiculous.
Because its the exact opposite of gravel.
It's telling it which way to blow. They work as a team.
Because you keep getting things right, congrats!
It's also a trained ninja.
Sue again. She's very clever.
Because your cat has powers beyond comprehension. I'm also terrified of them.
Because the people in charge aren't as smart or as kind as kids are.
Because they are very fast and tricky to catch.
Again, Sue. She's really good at this stuff.
Stand in a small plant pot, repeatedly water.
Look, I know its repetitive but no one should ever underestimate Sue.
Because they make you sandwiches and give hugs.
Actually, this wasn't Sue. She had an off day. Greg did numbers.
Because it keeps slipping off your face when you water yourself for growing.
Because if the teachers had to give you tests on games, you'd get it all right and they'd have no idea what the answers are to mark it.
Practice, mostly.
Immediately!
You can. Just buzz a lot and hang around trash.
So you can take on Minuson in the grand battle of maths.
Because its hard to play soccer while carrying a palette of paints.
Because that cat has powers beyond comprehension. I would avoid that cat so much.
Sue's fault.
If maths were soft it would be hard to work out the numbers as they'd flop everywhere.
Again, Greg because it was a Friday evening.
It longs to stop walking barefoot everywhere but can't do the laces.
Because grown ups are tired and scared you'll hurt yourself like they would if they tried to jump off or climb those things.

I really do love how kids minds are working.
I love these. This is why I’m a teacher. I get to spend all day with people who think like this!
I like the DNA of dinosaurs without people. A lot to think about it.
"Why do flowers not grow so fast?" Yeah, why!?
I love the first-person ones, like "Why can't I see air?" It's not super relevant whether people generally can or not.
The best!

The list order of these was extremely good, if it was intentional or not, what a wild ride.
“Why can’t we fly? If we can, how?”
This one makes me smile!
Why just 34? Bad guy!!
