After yesterdays events, my class of five year old came into school this morning, full of chat about bombs, fire-engines and ambulances. A lot of them had been hearing their parents talk, watching it on the news or realising that daddy won't be home because he is still stuck in the office. One little chap's mother was called in as part of the police force that had to deal with the commotion and aftermath.
All of this is a lot for a five year old to understand - or is it. One little boy said " They really shouldn't go around hurting people they don't know just because they don't like us or some of the things our country does." I told him I agreed but this type of terrorism had been going on for years. "Well, If I was them I would sit down and have a chat about things and see if we could sort out the problem together." He said.
What can I say, I felt quite tearful. I also felt it was important that these children spoke about what they have heard and seen because most of the time the adults don't explain it.
Maybe I will see young master "A" as prime minister one day!
