Impression (Teacher Observer):
It was surprising to hear how interpretations differ, especially one child was able to convert the negative thought (Lion chasing the Bear) as positive – "Lion is pushing the small one so that it goes running to its mom".
The anchors also handled it well by not influencing with their opinion. On the whole, an interesting session and primary students really show 100% involvement which is commendable.
