that activity, the pupils engaged in a brain challenge.\u00a0 They were presented with colour words written in a non-matching colour e.g. the word pink written in green pen.\u00a0 The children had to try and say the colour word and not the colour it was written in.\u00a0 It was a bit of a brain tease.\u00a0 Most people find it easier to say the word rather than the colour as the word has a strong influence on the brain.\u00a0 Words are read faster by the brain than colours are named. If you would like to find out more about this challenge, it is called a Stroop test.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5888\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5888\" style=\"width: 300px\"
