271. The class is too noisy, there are arguments, someone is in tears…and the teacher says, ‘We’ll get back to our work later, but first we are going to relax. Everyone find a place on the floor, and I’ll read you a relaxation script.’

272. There are figs growing in the neighbours’ property, coming through the school fence, and the Principal lets me reach between the wire and grab one for myself… and one for him too.

273. The teacher tells us to sit on the mat. Even though we are too old for that … we still love it.  A couple of kids like to sit at their chairs but the rest of us LOVE the floor.

274. Sometimes we listen to music when we are working.

275. We keep caterpillars in cocoons and watch them turn into butterflies.
