I asked my year 1 classes
'What do adults do for fun?'
Here is my analysis;
A THREAD

Alice - 'Disco Boogie'

She had a glint in her eye with this. Knowing that when she's old enough there won't be dancefloor on earth that could handle her. I don't personally disco or boogie. I more spasm and sway. But throw on some ABBA and she's right. It is fun. A little boogie

Katie - 'Help Children with maths'

It's amazing how we, as adults are perceived. Do they really think we ENJOY going over times tables a billion times!? We're all at work counting down the hours until we get to do maths homework agian! I think she's playing a twisted joke on me.

Jack - 'Backflips and round kicks'

Yeah. Jack's right. I'm always backfliping and kicking round-ways. Can't get enough of the stuff. Jack performed a round kick. It was very cool. In serious though, Jack has no idea that one day his back will ache just getting up off the toilet.

Toby - 'Play sport. Watch sport. Talk about sport'

He sounded genuinely fed up. Like he's a housewife of 30 years, sick to the teeth of the other half. He's not a sporty guy so I'm sorry but this will only get worse. Tho, once he find friends with similar interests he'll be safe

Emma - 'Dance and sing'

Life is a sweet and precious commodity. Sing at the top of your voice. Dance like you're one with music. I don't do this enough and I should. I told Emma I can't dance and she said "That doesn't matter". She's right. It doesn't. So let's just do it!

Mikey - 'Watch me in the park'

I apologise. This sounds MUCH worse than it actually is. He's not talking about anything sinister. His Dad has him on the weekends and they go to the park. They have a lovely relationship it seems. He gave a smile after he thought about his dad.

Ravi - 'Grow old together'

Ageing isn't fun. Getting old will hit you like a falling piano. But together...with the one you love. Its beautiful. Sharing memories and laughs beyond the years. Looking back and learning. Growing old sucks Ravi. But he's right. Together. Its Amazing

Rosie - 'Be all fancy'

She pulled a face. Look, she's a working class girl. Proper bread and butter. Meat and spuds. Oven chips. but ultimately, I think she's just a tad jealous. It's a shame she doesn't believe she's good enough for finer things. Because she is. Go get it Rosie

Wendy - 'Get Married'

I researched this. In the top 10 most stressful things you can do with your life. Getting married is 6th. Not fun. Wendy is miles off here. I told her the average price of a wedding is £18,000. She shrugged. Didn't care. I blame Disney films for this.

Ben - 'Buy things from the shop'

What things? I hear you ask. Well don't worry, Ben told me. Bread. Eggs. Jammy Dodgers and Fizzy lemon (whatever the hell that is). There is a strange feeling of satisfaction when you do a big food shop tho. Like finally letting out a big sneeze

Susanna - 'Get sofas and chairs'

The class laughed at her. She did laughed back. But I know she's REALLY talking about this capitalist society we've built for ourselves. Work to spend. My theory is, she watched Fight Club one evening and is having a small existential crisis.

please comment what questions you want to ask the kids. Who knows I might just pick it. Or not. Probably not.
