Ka Mau Ke Te Wehi my friend, you are a real talent and an inspiration to others in teaching in the 21st century!

As you said, children will have to be deliberately taught how to write open and closed questions and it is typically at the Y3/Y4 age that this skill becomes paramount to be taught. We must remember that we cannot ignore Deliberate Acts of Teaching - children need to be taught specific skills. I look forward to seeing this progress.
