It's exam time down Olives way, compositions were first up. The blindingly exciting title "A Rainy Day" had everyone a tad panicked until I explained that they could still write about an interesting day they had, just pretend it was raining at the time. Pauline wrote a very moving account of the day she went swimming with Madam Miriam, conveniently skipping over the part where she sat on my head and almost drowned me.
My favourite bit was "Madam she swimmed fast fast to the wall. Are you fine Madam Miriam? asked Madam Trinity? I am not fine said Madam Miriam. There was a heart sadness in Madam Miriam and she made many coughing. I like for to swim with Madam Miriam."
Some of the best bits are the proverbs. The kids learn them off without ever learning when to apply them, and some make up their own bizarre versions. A few of my favourites:
"He was as happy as Sir Isaac Newton discovering force of gravity."
"She was as happy as a barren woman to whom has been borned a baby."
"I went into the bathroom for to make water in the frog's kingdom."
"They were as a Christian man who has seen Jesus walking and eating bread."
and the best:
"She was as confused as a pregnant rat crossing a tarmac road."
Words fail me. :)
hahahahaha :D
