356. It is Melbourne Cup Race Day and the teacher runs a sweep in the class. Then, we each get a horse and the teacher lets us watch the race.

357. I have been crying, and the teacher gives me the option of telling her about it.

358. It starts to rain and before going under a shelter, I stick my tongue out and catch raindrops on it. I also love seeing the teacher do this.

359. When the teacher tries to teach us something in a sneaky way, and I recognise it and say, ‘I know what you are doing here.’ And the teacher laughs.

360. After hearing that I’ve had an argument with my best friend, the teacher talks to us, and then gives us time out of the class to sort out the issue.
