On the topic of 'Fire'.
Teacher L: Soooooooo class... what do we know about fire?
Meg: Its red in colour!
JW: No, no... my fire that Mummy cook at home is blue!!
(Teacher L raises eyebrow and corrects JW's phrasing)
Teacher L: But, both Meg and JW are right... The big fires are normally red, or orange in colour. But the fire we always see on the cooking stove, is normally blue, right Class? (Class nods enthusiastically) So.... what else can you tell me about fire?
Rowan: I know....Australia always got fire... I see on TV!
Teacher L : Very good Rowan, those are called forest or bush fires... It usually happens during the hot season, which is called Summer.... (Gets interrupted)
Jovan: My mummy say when we die we will go into the fire... so in the Australia people only die when the season is Summer ah Teacher?
Teacher L: (brain cells quickly rush into action thinking of a appropriately-worded explanation for the K1s)
Just another S& D day.
