we're anything but humans

we did "brown bear brown bear what do you see?" today.
so we went through all the vocabs and i wanted to see if they really knew what was going on.
as i flicked through pages and stopped, they needed to give me the name of the animal and tell me what colour it was.

"good! black sheep."
"no, it's sheep, not fish."
"good! it's a green frog."

some animals were easier than other ones.
"what did the green frog see?"
"hello duck."
"well, not quite. Yellow duck, Yellow, not hello."
"yellow duck yellow duck, what do you see?"
"brown ours."
"en anglais, stp!" (in english, plz)
long pause...
"repeat after me, BE-AH."

okay, animals went well, i stopped at the page of kids.
"what did the brown bear see?"
longer pause...
"comment on dit, les enfants en anglais?" (how do we say 'les enfants' in english?)
nothing still...
"okay, ca commence avec 'tch'..." (okay, it begins with 'tch')
"je sais je sais! chips!"(i know i know! chips!)

"chips! mais non, chips, c'est pour manger." (chips! but no, you EAT chips.)
"chair?!"
what chair?
"non! okay, chilllll..."
"chilli!"
i thought it must be lunch time soon, cos why else they kept coming up with food?

"okay, chilllddrrr."
"je sais je sais, chillds!" (i know i know, chillds!)
"euh, presque, mais non."(um, close enough, but no.)
"oh, c'est trop dur! on a pas pris!" (oh, that's too hard, we haven't done it before!)
"si, elle a deja dit!" - thanks mrs L (the class teacher who sits in during english). (yes, she has just told you!)
"repetez apres moi, chi-l-dr-en!" (repeat after me)
"children~"
"good, now children, you can put your things away and go have lunch now! bon appetit!"
