DEAT

DEAT = Drop Everything And Talk.

To encourage the students to build on their Speaking and Listening skills, every week we are given a question to discuss in class. Here are some responses from the children.

1. What is your favourite day of the week and why?

AURELIUS: I like Sunday because I get to make a tree house.

ZORAIZ: My favourite day is Friday because I play Nintendo. 

MARK: I like Monday. I go swimming and watch TV all day.

ARLO: My best day is Thursday because we do technology.

2. Pretend you are a chef and describe your restaurant?                                                

JIANNA: I will put decorations.

ILINA: My restaurant has rainbow colour painting.

ADVIK: I will cook special rice for everyone.

PARISA: I will dress-up and cook food.

3. What Australian animal would you NOT like to meet? Why?

CHARLENE: I don’t want to meet a crocodile because it has sharp teeth and claws.

HARRISON: I wouldn’t like to meet a shark. It has sharp teeth and can bite you.

RIA: I would not like to meet a crab because it has sharp pincers.

HADYA: I don’t like meeting snakes. They have poison in their teeth. 

ZIA: I don’t want to meet a stingray because it can sting me.

JAMES: I don’t like wombats because they make my ‘heart small’.

4. What makes you laugh?

KATERINA: When Mum tells jokes.

HAMESH: When Mrs Fletcher makes a surprised face!

INDY-ROSE: The hospital clown who makes me and Stevie laugh.

TOBIAS: When we do funny dancing.

HANIYA: When my sister does crazy things.

MRS FLETCHER: Harrison’s funny jokes! e.g. What do you call a Koala bear that has no teeth? 

“A Gummy Bear!”
