Last, but not least....Elijah

I have been teasing Elijah all of last week and this by asking him if we have saved the best oral for last..he always gave me a shy smile but did not commit! But after listening to him today, I think we may have!

Elijah has a wonderful, mature way of expressing himself and he was able to tell us  interesting  things about each and every item that he brought.

He started off by showing us a picture of himself at Little Noddy pre-school where  Kwandile and Ottie were in his class. He said that there was a boy there who was a bit of a bully and would always wrestle with him!

Next he showed us a tiny lego fly that he won at Toys R Us. He got it free because he won a lego building challenge. He was able to build a lego man in 1 minute and his closest rival did it in three and a half minutes. He said that he thought it would be useful for us to use when we do our Shoo Fly story. And later we did just that...read all about it in the post above. He said that the Logo movie is coming soon and he cant wait to go and see it.


Elijah is a vegetarian, he said the reason for this is that he does not like to eat dead animals or destroy them!

He brought out a big packet of Wilsons toffees that he really enjoys. He used to like the blue wrapped ones the best but now he prefers the coke flavoured toffees. He shared them with us after he had finished his talk.

Last of all, Elijah had two pictures of pythons. One where it was eating its prey after constricting it and the other was where a python was being held by a group of men. Elijah loves learning about any animal, but pythons are his favourite. He told us lots of facts using some really grown up words.

Thank you for a lovely oral Elijah, we really enjoyed listening to it and learning more about you.
