Thunk it over

If you really want to get children's brains humming then try a few Thunks. These are beguillingly simple looking questions that stop you in your tracks and help you to start looking at the world in a new Iight.

For a good Thunk session, you should gather pupils in a circle and explain that there are no right or wrong answers to the following questions.
