Alice - 'Bubblegum Ice-cream'
The kids genuinely applauded this. As if she was Nelson Mandela on the walk to freedom or discovered the cure for Alzheimers. I can't understand why they're so gassed but I suppose the fusing of two different sweets has just blown their tiny minds

Katie - 'Being born'
Billions of years of evolution and ancestry are responsible for you being here. In this moment. Right now. Giving you complex thoughts and feelings. So why would Katie say something trivial like bloody ice-cream? She's right. You are a miracle. So enjoy it.

Jack - 'Bomb in a swimming pool AND didn't get told off'
Let's look at this from Jack's perspective. Imagine being 6 and being such a stealthy assassin that even with a bomb (the most explosive pool jump) the lifeguard has absolutely no idea. Jack's a mad lad. I wish I was him.

Toby - 'When I had a McDonald's and got 2 toys but was only supposed to get 1'
Some of the class gasped. Some cheered. I definitely heard some blasphemy. But overall Toby knew this was his moment and he grabbed it with both hands. What a day for the young man. Stuff of legends.

Emma - 'When I got to see my Nana'
For context, Emma's Nana lives in Australia and is old and feeble. Which, obviously the pandemic has stopped families from really being with each other. So, I'm happy for Emma. They met at the airport and they had a "big big hug". Sweet moment.

Mikey - 'Big Donut Box'
It's funny because that's the same way I describe Mikey. When did this happen you ask? Yesterday. He went to Krispie Kreme and got donuts with his dad. What I love about Mikey though is he really lives in the moment. Mostly because he can't remember tho.

Ravi - 'My baby sister'
Imagine having an older brother with the kindness and warmth of Ravi. Guiding you through this tricky world with intellect and wisdom. He adores his sister and helps her to brush her teeth and ride her bike. My big brother once threw a hoover at my head.

Rosie - 'Getting a cold'
The class laughed. But Rosie wasn't playing any games. She had the stoic face of lioness. What she didn't explain was she got a cold, THEN had a day off school because of it. Which made more sense. She basically said she ate toast and watched frozen.

Wendy - 'Swimming with sharks'
I had so many questions. Surley it's not wise to send a 6 year old down in a cage to swim with sharks...However, through further investigation Wendy meant dolphins and it was on holiday. Though she's absolutely convinced it was great white sharks.

Ben - 'Mr Pointon's lessons'
Before we get ahead of ourselves, Ben got in trouble today so I assume he is using this as ploy to win me over. It's a pathetic, ridiculous attempt. And did it even work?..Yes. Absolutely. Back in my good books he goes. What a cheeky little scamp.

Susanna - 'Halloween'
On the surface this seems silly. But it's literally a day where you're given free sweets and get to dress as anything you want. As adults we take this for granted but it's opened my eyes. And i've vowed to make this Halloween the spookiest of all time.
