This week, Primary 5-6 pupils have been taking part in some wonderful discussions with their teachers at home. You can read some of the answers below:
“Do animals have the same emotions as humans?”
Primary 5:
Yes and no, because they can be scared and happy and sad. I do not think they feel guilty, such as if a Lion ate someone it would not appear to be guilty – Fraser
My answer is yes, because some days my Rabbits look sad, but then a day later they are happy then they’re angry, so that’s why – Sanna
Yes and no, because they feel emotions and probably different ones as well – Isla
Yes because they are living – Abigail
Yes because animals can feel down and be really excited – Anna
Yes, because animals have a life and Robots don’t – they are just programmed. Animals can do what they want to do – Oliver
Yes because animals feel the same emotions as humans like anger, sadness, and happiness – Ioli
Yes because mice are scared of cats – Cameron
Yes because they feel happy and sad – Angus
Yes, because they feel the same emotions as us, but not in the same way or at different times – Harald
“If you could step inside a book, what book would it be and what would you do first?”
Primary 6:
I would go into multiple books – anything exciting! – Raphael
I would go into ‘Awful Auntie’ because I could arrest the Auntie before she does anything illegal – Alex
I would go into ‘Mistletoe and Murder’ from the series Murder Most Unladylike, because it is my favourite book and I would want to help to solve the murders – Evie
I would go in to ‘His dark materials’ because I really like everything in it and it is my favourite book. I would definitely explore everywhere because the whole place sounds really cool – Lily
