SECRETS FROM THE
If one thing is certain it’s that children can brighten your day with their hilarious comments. Here are a few of our favourites...
Befuddled by birthdays ‘My Year 1 class were learning the order of the months of the year. I asked which month their birthday was in – some knew, some didn’t, but one boy ventured, “It was in July.... this year”!’ Class Teacher, West Sussex
There once was a boy
School trip surprise
‘Last year we organised a school trip to take Year 3 pupils to do the Farm to Fork trail at Tesco. After an exciting day out, I asked the children, “What was the highlight of the trip?”. One of the children shot his hand up and said, “Going in a minibus on a motorway – I’ve never been in a minibus, or on a motorway before!”.’ Class Teacher, Warwickshire
named Chuck... Food-swap fail!
‘While heading to the staffroom one lunchtime, I reached the top of a stairwell, where some errant students had gathered. I overheard one of the lads say to one of the girls, “You can have some chips if you give me a snog”. As I came into view, the girl looked suitably sheepish. “I take it you won’t be having any chips,” I said. “No, sir,” she replied and they all hurried outside. I only just made it to the staffroom before bursting out laughing.’ Geography Teacher, Bedfordshire
‘At the start of the new school year, I set a piece of homework asking the children to write a poem about themselves. This was definitely one of my favourite examples of a child struggling to find words that rhyme!’ Class Teacher, Lancashire
How many balls do snowmen have? ‘One chilly Friday afternoon I had to finish handing out homework, so I gave the class some black paper and chalk and asked them to draw winter pictures. After a while, I was aware of a heated discussion going on between two boys. Before I had time to investigate, one appeared at my desk, closely followed by the other – both clutching their pictures. The first boy thumped his picture down and said, “Miss, will you please tell him that snowmen have two balls!”.’ Primary School Teacher, Hampshire
