A number of primary schools were doing a project on 'The Sea'.
Children were asked to draw pictures, or write about their experiences.
Teachers got together to compare the results, and put together some of the
comments that were funny, and some that were sad.
Here are a few of the. The children were all aged between 5 and 9.
I don't like the sea. It makes me sick on the ferry. (peter age 6)
My goldfish died. Why? (Katie age 5)
If you are surrounded by the sea you are an island. If you don't have sea all around you, you are a continent. Wayne age 7)
I think sharks are ugly and mean and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She is not my friend no more. (Kylie age 6)
When ships had sails they used to use trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind did not blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans. (William age 7)
I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails. How do mermaids get pregnant? (Helen age 6)
I'm not going to write about the sea. My baby brother is always screaming and being sick, my dad keeps shouting at my mum and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy age 6)
Some ish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers. (Christopher age 7)
My mum has fish nets, but doesn't catch any fish. (Laura age 5)
