Guess and win ;)


Two weeks ago my 1st graders were learning about farm animals.
I prepared a little cut and paste activity and they were all busy trying to finish as soon as possible to get a star and a hug from their teacher.

At some point a very cute little boy called Uğur placed a small, folded piece of paper in my hand. I thought it was rubbish and told him to throw it away twice.

He declined and lingered around me mumbling something in Turkish. Finally, he pulled my head down, grabbed my hand again and whispered to my ear: ‘Teacher, is hediye (gift)’.

I looked at the piece of paper and asked what it was. The boy said ‘It’s ................... ‘.

Question 1: can you guess what he created i.e what the gift actually was?

Question 2: whose face can you see in the background of the picture?

The winner of this little contest is free to claim his/ her prize J

(A guided tour around Istanbul, a dinner or a special teacher’s hug, for example ;)

  1. Clearly it's a swan.
    Is the picture John Lennon?
    (If I win, can I have all three prizes or do I have to choose one?)

  10. Oh that's difficult!!
    A special teacher's hug - well you're not my teacher, but if I were to ever study Polish one day (one of the many languages I'd be interested in) you might have a job ;o)
    A dinner - I know Polish food can be damn tastey, and I imagine you wouldn't offer it as a prize without being a good cook??
    Buuuuut,
    I will have to go with the guided tour of Istanbul - all my Turkish students tell me I must go, so I will one day, and I'll look forward to being shown around ;o)
