"A field of daffodils looks like a wave of golden sunlight" (Samuel - aged 7)

Samuel that is a great piece of description. Do you know which bit I like the best? It's the word "wave". You've made me imagine all the daffodils rolling up and down like the waves on the sea.

"We counted 15 different shapes in our classroom."

Let me guess, Year One. Is the most common shape in your classroom a rectangle? How did I know that?

"MARIO, JOHN TERRY, GAVIN HENSON, DAVID BECKHAM, FERNANDO TORRES, THE WHOLE OF MAN. UNITED, BEN 10, YODA, SLEEPING BEAUTY, IRON MAN, STEVEN GERRARD, DARTH VADER, ROGER ROGER, STEPHANIE, INDIANA JONES, ARIEL, DAISY, TINKERBELL, CINDERELLA and SNOW WHITE"

"Stop making that silly noise, Darth - it's not big and it's not clever... And Indiana, take your hat off in class! David Beckham, if you've forgotten your P.E. kit again, I won't be happy..."
What a great list, Year One! Here's how I imagine your new class...

"Ghosts, inside cupboard in A15, loft space above A107, staff room, cellars under A block and a teacher sing"

Sounds like your school has got lots of hidden secrets, 8S (including your teacher's vocal abilities!).

"James's laptop, Mrs Stead on a Friday morning, going down a slide in jeans, Dylan getting out of bed, Alfie going up the stairs, a turtle, snail, slug, a spider's web being built, Didier Drogba trying to score."

Thanks for answering today, 4S. Here's an interesting question... Which out of your list would you rate the slowest?

"Buy them presents. Do something they like to do. Watch TV with them. Give them a tickle. Watch their favourite programme. Go to the park with them. Play with them. Do what they want to do. Do what you're told. Do something funny. Be nice to them. Clean up - (if you've made things untidy) Take a deep breath. Thinking of nice things. Take them shopping."

Ahhh... I'm calm already!

"Hold your parent's hand. Stay behind the tape. Stay away from the bonfire. Watch from a safe place. Stay calm."

A well thought-out set of Bonfire Night rules, Year One. It's always good to write rules in a positive way... It helps to know what to do, as well as what not to do...

"In our class this morining there were 196 legs."

Now, either you could have a massive class (98 pupils!) or you've got a normal sized class and have just found a centipede in the reading corner... Or maybe you just counted all the chair and table legs like I told you! Hmmm...

"65 - because you are retired and people look after you. 18 - because you can do pretty much what you want. 21 - because by this age you can go to college, drive a car and have a job. 10 - because you are in double digits. 14 - because you become a man. 3 - because you don't have to go to school."

Brilliant, 7S... Your answer made me smile as I imagined a classroom full of these disperate individuals! Somewhere in your class you have someone who loves having things done for them (wants to be 65), a couple who love to be independent (18 and 21), someone who likes number patterns (10), a man (14!!) and someone who'd rather be somewhere else today (3)!!

"Green, Font Ariel and about size 22."

(sigh!) There's always one!

"A source of energy"

"A source of power that runs most household items. Toasters work because they use electricity. It's the second biggest source of light... It lights something, runs something or warms something up. Electricity can be dangerous. It is a flow of current. It is nearly everywhere."

Lots of ideas there. Thank you 7P and 7S. Electricity is pretty amazing when you stop and think about it. I particularly like your phrase "it is nearly everywhere". Where is it found (other than through a plug)?

"Jason - 'Presentations', Frazer - 'International'. Both were on posters around the classroom"

13 letters is pretty impressive. From where I am sitting, the longest word I can spot is 'Thanksgiving' on my calendar!

"because your cold. and when you brethout. and some times the car windos are smiry."

Thanks for your answer today, Anonymous! Have you noticed that when your breath hits the car window it turns into little droplets? I wonder why that is?

"8 times"

"20 times"

Two very different answers there! Thanks for sending them in. To anyone reading this: a piece of paper (any size, it doesn't matter) and test it out. What do you think?

"What is my age, doubled, minus 4?"

I really like your answer (I know it was a question, but you know what I mean!) 8S because everyone who reads it will try to work backwards and to find out how old the pupils in 8S are. Bit of useful Maths there...
