Winning Comments

Children are inimaginably smart and often come up with perceptive, interesting or hilarious comments thanks to the fresh eyes with which they view the world.  On this page you can read some of their wonderful observations, which will no doubt put a smile on your face!

 

A conversation in Pre-nursery Diamonds Class

This conversation with Tariq and Matthew followed a story about the circus and lion tamers...

Miss Zarni: "Let's pretend we are in a circus.  Who will be lion tamers and who will be lions?"
Tariq: "I want to be the lion tamer.  Miss Zarni, maybe you can be a lion so I can tame you."
Miss Zarni: "Great idea!  OK, but I will only let you tame me if you feed me cupcakes.  Are you going to feed me cupcakes?"
Tariq: "No.  Lions don't eat cupcakes."
Miss Zarni: "Really?  So what will you feed me then?"
Matthew: "You can have bones.  Lions eat bones."

 

Tariq Almarri, Pre-nursery Diamonds Class

Nurse Elisabeth was entranced when, having invited several Pre-nursery children into her room to read, Tariq said half to himself and half to the rest of the group, "How can I read this book?"  He lifted his head to look at Nurse Elisabeth as if to say, "How is this possible?  I'm only two!"

Together, however, Nurse Elisabeth and Tariq managed to read the book and have a lot of fun as they did so!

  

 


Charlie Pilkington, Pre-nursery Stars Class 

Charlie is very attached to her Baba (a green fleece blanket) and takes it everywhere! When we go outside to play many children ask us to push them on the swing but today, it was Baba's turn. Charlie put Baba on the small swing and made sure it would not fall. She commanded: "Hold on tight Baba!", "Ready... Steady... Go!"

We think both Baba and Charlie had a great day!

 


Sacha Clark, Nursery Sky Blue Class 

Sacha brought the class attendance book to the front desk this morning. Mrs. Yvonne, who is in charge of receiving these books from each class, was not at her seat when Sacha arrived. So she had to give the book to Mrs. Eva, who is Mrs. Yvonne's colleague at the front desk. On the way back to the classroom Sacha turned around and returned to the front desk. She reminded Mrs. Eva: "But don't forget this book is for Mrs. Yvonne!" Mrs. Eva answered: "Okay, I will put the book on her chair so she will see it when she comes back." Sacha agreed and said: "That is a good idea." and returned much more relaxed to her classroom!
