When SALTs get over their obsession with bubbles, - do they move onto animals?

WHY does ds have to learn how to class farm and jungle animals?

He doesn't even know what a farm or a jungle is. He has no interest in animals. Class isn't an area he struggles with on a general level.

WHY?

Haha!
You could well think I was shite in RL.

Bubbles have their place and I am partial to them but not as a universal panacea by any means.

The animals things worked for us because DS is always trying new classifications, and because they were mobile so he could construct new sentences about what they were doing, what they ate and what noise they made. But I can see that if he hated animals it would have been pointless.

Annoying, SaLT kept asking him 'who' an animal was or what it was called, which confused him enormously. If he'd been asked what sort of animal it was he'd have known...

ha ha ha ha - only read OP but 'ooh look at the bubbles' (studiously ignored by ds1 - he's didn't care a jot for bubbles) was my pet hate for years.
