I asked my year 1 classes 'If you were a superhero, what would you do?'

Alice - "Move things with my hands"
I know what she's ment. Like Darth Vader's death grip thing. However, what's she's explained is basically, just, having hands. I didn't want to tell her that she can already do that. Maybe she sees evolution as our actual superpower. Pioneer.

Katie - "Stretch really big"
Sounds like a good power on the surface. However, I dug deeper. Finding out that Mum keeps all the good sweets and crisps in the top cupboard. She can't reach it. For me, it seems a waste of a superpower to use it just to get funsize Mars bars.

Jack - "Super Jump"
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's that little bloke who jumps about all high. He didn't give any explanation as to how he helps. I don't actually think he does. Jack also wants to point out that a "Super Jump" is just a normal jump...but higher. Oh Lord.

Toby - "Extra fast lightning bolt speed"
Direct quote from Toby "I can run, kick, punch, flip, do backflips, super jump higher than Jack and power spray". I asked him just after lunch and it was pizza day so perhaps he was hopped up on cheese. He made 0 sense. Just pure energy.

Emma - "Get the plastic out the ocean"
It's killing sea-life and destroying our planet. You need to take a good, hard look at yourselves. Leaving it to a 6 year old to clean up YOUR mess. Emma is holding a mirror up to society AND SHE DOESN'T GIVE A DAM. No dilemma with Emma.

Mikey - "Punch bad guys, in the neck"
Weirdly specific. Though a solid throat punch can really disarm a bad guy. I followed up with "Who are bad guys?" and it turns out it's basically petty criminals. Handbag thieves, robber men and car guys. Not sure what a "Car Guy" is tbh.

Ravi - "To speak to everyone"
Context; Ravi is TRILINGUAL but has extended family all across the world. He wants to learn every language. Contrary to popular opinion, Ravi isn't actually a superhero though he continues to save our planet. Under Ravi, war is over, if you want it

Rosie - "Mind control the spiders"
Well known Arachnophobic, Rosie. I think she's doing something a LARGE number of people would love. Imagine never seeing a spider again. I did ask "Does that mean no Spiderman?" She replied "Spiderman isn't actually real". Made me look a fool.

Wendy - "Make sick people better"
Well, there goes the heartstrings. Being pulled like hair in a nightclub cat-fight. A selfless, fantastic answer. All Wendy wants to do is give everyone the chance to life a long, healthy life. Because ultimately we deserve that. Wonder Wendy.

Ben - "Tidy a room quicker than The Flash"
What a fantastic superpower to have. Have you had a party? *Click* Tidy. Have you let the washing pile up? *Click* Clean. I mean, it doesn't actually help anyone but yourself but genuinely how amazingly useful would that be to have.

Susanna - "Turn rain into sun"
How rubbish is sitting in pub gardens right now? Well, not with Susanna. 23 and sunny everyday. She kindly would put a schedule of when it will rain and when it will "sun". Crops would thrive. BBQ's every week. Lots of unemployed weathermen though
