The Sea Part 1
A number of Primary Schools were doing a project on 'The Sea.' Children were asked to draw pictures, or write about their experiences. Teachers got together to compare the results and they put together some of the comments that were funny or sad.
Here are some of them.
The children were all aged between 5 and 8 years.
This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly aged 6)
Whales are animals, not fish. If they don't get air they can drown, like my brother did last Summer. (David aged 7)
Oyster balls are called pearls. (James aged 6)
My goldfish died. Why? (Katie aged 5)
If you are surrounded by sea you are an island. If you don't have sea all around you, you are in continent. (Wayne aged 7)
I think sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kylie aged 6)
A dolphin breathes through an arsehole on the top of its head. (Billy aged 8)
My uncle goes out in his boat with pots, and comes back with crabs. (Millie aged 6)
When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans. (William aged 7)
I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. How do mermaids get pregnant? (Helen aged 6)
I'm not going to write about the sea. My baby brother is always screaming and being sick.My dad keeps shouting at my mum, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy aged 6)
More to come.
