finleysmaid Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 'Wh'y is a high level question so probably only for your older children what /when/ how/ what if/ if then what one of the things I find tricky is negative questions so.......which one is not green/ doesn't make a noise/can't be eaten etc ...once embedded it becomes part of your practise 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrison Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've put these questions on the ceiling so staff can look up and pretend to think but use them as a prompt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargrower Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 ours are on what we call the washing line Panders, that made me laugh. Not because you put the questions on the washing line (great idea!) but because you sound like Miranda's mother "I put them on what I call 'the washing line'" If you're not a Miranda fan, you'll have no idea what I'm talking about! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panders Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 my middle son is a Gary Barlow lookie likie and whilst he has his own unique talents in the world of quantity surveying, he can't write songs as well as Gary! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
