Thinking outside the box, funny

[Oma]

Josh last week had to do a 4 page essay about something significant that had happened to him that changed his life ,or way of living .
He had to write about how he felt and his thoughts when it happened ,

Now most of his friends wrote about Parents divorcing ,or new siblings been born , or moving house etc ,

Not Josh , he couldn't write about anything like that and couldn't think of anything that had changed his life or way of living

So he wrote a 4 page essay on the first time he had a Turkey and Gravy sandwich in the School canteen

How lovely it tasted and how he felt eating it ,

we were in hysterics that he could actually find that much to write about a sandwich and expected him not to get any marks for it ,
Well he received his papers back today and got full marks and a A*

The teacher loved how he had thought out of the box and said he's never laughed so much at a essay , and he bought Josh a Turkey and gravy sandwich for his lunch hahaha

Who would have thought a Sandwich would get him a A*

Hillarious Oma. That boy never ceases to amaze! Love it how the teacher got him his favourite sarnie for lunch too.😂

No wonder he got top marks! With no obvious life changing events to draw on, he found something. Not only that, he made it interesting and fun. He will go far ☺

To be honest Gem we thought the teacher wouldn't be happy with it , but we were wrong

Oma,far from being unhappy about Josh’s essay, I bet the teacher was over the moon. What Josh wrote was imaginative, original and obviously funny. That was a well-deserved A* 👍👍👍

It’s amazing where they get their ideas from isn’t it.

When DD was 6 a student teacher was taking the class. She was teaching all about electricity and how it changed our lives . The pupils were then asked to draw something in their homes that uses electricity. Several children spent a long time drawing TVs fridges etc but not DD , she drew a cable with a plug on the end !
The teacher told me at first she couldn’t understand why DD had finished so soon , all the other children were busy drawing while she was sat back in her chair just looking around . When she saw what she had drawn she had to praise her because as DD told her you need a plug to make the things work!

Well done to Josh. He deserved an A* for thinking of something different.
Mimi, love it about your DD drawing a plug and cable.

Mimi that is so good , she was quite right if you don't have a plug you have nothing ,

[Daisy]

Mimi - your DD was quite right, and I bet the student teacher used the experience as an example of how you should always expect the unexpected!

We wer epuzzled when GS1 was about 4 or 5. He drew quite a detailed Christmas tree - with lots of ornaments and lights on it but a strange line going off the edge of the paper - that was the lead for the lights!
