336. It is the last fortnight of school and the teacher organises KKs. This is when someone in the class writes me a little note each day, or gives me a lolly. On the last day of school we exchange gifts of no more than $5. It is all about caring for each other.

337. The teacher has a stuffed toy cat which sits on his desk. It even moves and purrs. Each day the teacher gives the cat to a good worker who can name the cat for the day. And, no one except the chosen child can hold or stroke the cat.

338. The class sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to me. (I didn’t mean to lie, but I just sort of happened to say it was my birthday, even though it isn’t.)

339. Instead of doing a paper brainstorm, the teacher lets us use different word clouds on the computer. We are even encouraged to try word clouds other than Wordle. And we evaluate the different ones.

340. When we collect flowers and press them, and then write poetry about our mum around them.
