At my current job, I am mostly helping run a science workshop for 5-8year olds and I have been running it for school groups over the last week and this is what I’ve learnt.
1. Six-year-olds, on the whole, can’t read. I keep forgetting this.
2. We have a Samsung tablet to show a video on and they’re confused about the “really big phone”.
3. I trying to explain that 2009 was not technically that long ago by pointing out it was within my lifetime. I was told I “gotta be at least thirty!”
4. They have been on this planet for five minutes and it’s been a very stressful and fucked up five minutes so they do seem to sit on extremes.
5. The majority of them are absolute angels and very sweet (even when they’re making me feel old)
