Don't Buy A Castle

Mrs Craighead was going to buy a castle. We used our yellow and black thinking hats to find the positive and negative features of living in a castle. We persuaded Mrs Craighead not to buy a castle. Mrs Malham decided she wanted to buy a castle too. She did not listen! She is looking at castles to buy right now. Mrs Malham please, please read our stories. We are very worried. We hope we will be able to persuade you not to buy a castle.

Here are our black hat ideas...

a castle ...

is too big

has no neighbours

has big lawns to mow

might have a moat ( you don't have a boat)

has too many gardens to look after

will be cold

will cost too much money

is too far away for you to get to school
