331. The speakers are turned up loud, so when the teacher is working on her computer a sudden beep blasts at us.

332.The teacher tells us about her friend, who told her children, that the music from the ice-cream van meant they had run out of ice-cream. And we laugh and laugh.

333. You walk into class at the beginning of the term, and it has been changed around.

334. The teacher is concerned that some of us are isolated during the holidays so asks us to write a list of our hobbies, and then to wander around the class and find other people who like doing the same thing. Then, we’d know who to phone up and invite over. Afterwards the teacher asks if we learnt anything from the activity. I say, ‘ I am surprised that so many children would like to come to my house and throw stones at ant nests.’ He laughs and puts his head down in a pose of ‘giving up’.

335.I wave to the teacher and he waves back at me.
