This is a bit of a lighthearted thread - I'm not worrying about it (too much!). But I just wondered if when teachers give names to reading groups/numeracy groups there is any significance behind it.
Are the "elephants" a bit slow and lumbering and the "monkeys" the cheeky chatty kids?
Do the "orchids" need lots of attention and care and will the "dandilions" achieve no matter what the situation?
Or do the teachers just do it randomly to mess with our heads??
