Children reflecting on their learning

Reflecting on why some children who always jump in first are getting the wrong answers.

Child 1: "I think because they want to...they just want to jump in because they want to say something really badly and they speak for the longest and probably get the wrong answer because they haven't thought to themselves and they haven't listened to other people.

Child 2: "I think that shorter answers are better because they are not too long and sometimes you can get the right answer but when they do like a long answer you get quite confused with what they are saying and you don't really understand.

Child 3: "I think it's because maybe they want to get a house point because maybe they think they have the right answer. So they should listen to other people.

Child 4: "I think the people who jump in first don't really like, know anything. They just think they know and they think they are the best and like sometimes, as Mr. O' Connor said that they like, they don't have the right answers. It takes too much time and they don't think about what they are actually going to say.
