This week's verbal highlights while taking a boisterous schedule of Years 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 10 and 12.
Me: (Counting down) "One...one half...one quarter...one eighth...one sixteenth...one-thirty-twoth."
Me: "I'm more of an Angry Birds kind of girl."
Student: "If Mr X isn't here and you need to go, will you leave us all alone?"("us" = a class of 25 active Year Sevens)
Me: "No."
Student: "Why not?"
Me: "Because you might get lonely."
Me: "I haven't done any biology since 1991...were you alive in 1991?"
Me: "Here - let me babysit your phone for you. I'm sure it won't get up to mischief and play games while I look after it."
Me: "Have you ever been to New York? Would you like to go to New York?"
Me to meowing students: "You sound like you should be in Drama rather than English."
Student: "Can we do drama?"
Me: "No."
Me: "I am going to go to sleep tonight to the sound of myself saying 'ssssshhhhhhh'."
Me: "Enough of the belly thing."
Me: "I'm sure your maths brain is more active than mine."
Me: "I might need to add your cards to my card collection."
Student: "Do you have a card collection?"
Me: "No, but I've love to start one with your cards right there."
Me: "Chicken Souvlaki? I want souvlaki!"
Me: "Today I am living my dream - I am angel with long blonde hair."
Hmm. A little bit of context might be in order on some of those. Or at least the age of the children involved.
