Boy: Let’s play trampoline battles where we have to try and make each other fall over without pushing! Round 1 is: You’re only allowed to bounce around in a circle. On Round 2 you can do bouncing and knee drops. On Round 3 you have to show ALL your best moves – seat drops, pike jumps, tuck jumps – anything you want! Ready?
D: It’s an Easter card for you mum. It’s an Easter egg hunt picture. You have to find all the Easter eggs, BUT! There’s a problem, because some of them are trick balls! So can you find the Easter Eggs?
D: Zombie Tag! There were zombies behind the gravestones and they were REAL dead people there. You didn’t see them at the start – we saw three hands come up (because there was three of us) and the hands pulled zombies out and we had to run away from them. And guess what? The zombies fart and purple smoke comes out! If you go near the purple smoke, you get tagged and turn into a zombie. I got turned into a zombie. You have to run REALLY fast so you don’t get tagged. And the only person left is the winner. I didn’t win – I tried running but I got stuck at the fence. I was just about to go the other way, but the zombie tagged me – he farted and I smelt it.
D: We had to draw a picture of something we’re fantastic at.
I drawed that I’m fantastic at playing football. That’s me, with the ball in purple.
That’s the goal [in light blue, on the right], and I’m kicking the ball into the goal!
They’re all people who are trying to get the ball so they can get a goal, but they can’t!
D: We didn’t know who the captains were for PE today. We usually have two, three or four.
Me: Oh. I suppose it depends on what games you play as to how many captains you need.
D: Huh?
Me: Different games need a different number of teams. So that would mean a different number of captains.
D: No. It depends whether you’ve been REALLY good – sometimes there’s four people that have been REALLY good, sometimes three, sometimes two, sometimes one – no, not one – two, three or four.
Aly was sitting out today and he said “I’m going to be captain.” I said, “I don’t think you are, because you have to sit out.”
Me: Why was he sitting out?
D: Because he’d done something extremely not good.
D: There’s a game we go and play at lunchtimes sometimes – It’s like Fishy Fishy, but there’s an octopus and if you get tagged by it, you turn into seaweed and you float around and wave your arms like this..!
If someone touches you then they turn into seaweed. If the last person touches you or the octopus, they have to turn into one – and the winner is…. Mr Grice – he’s our PE teacher.
And there’s a song that goes with it: “Fishy fishy, swim in the sea, and get turned into seaweed with your eaten body, and get your bones turned onto the ground, seaweed, seaweed, see-, see-, see-, seaweed.”
D: I’m playing football with my two invisible friends – they’re taking in in turns to be goalie. Kick – kick – score!
Me: Is it quite easy to score goals against your invisible friends?
D: Yes, because you know my invisible friends? They’re not real – they’re imaginary. Do you know anything that’s real that’s invisible?
Me: Magic?
D: No, you can see magic powers… I know – wind, because you can’t see it but you can feel it.
