When I got back to School I felt sad and excited. I felt sad because I didn’t have my family close by, and I felt happy because I saw my friends and teachers.

When I went back to School I felt happy because I got to socialise with my friends. My favourite part was when I started a book with my friend Sylvanas.

I felt so excited when we went back to School. I was excited to see my friends and teachers. At the start I was a little bit nervous. The best part was playing with my friends.

If I go back to School, I would be excited to see my friends back together again. It’s been a long time since we were in the classroom.

Before I arrived at School I felt really excited and happy, but a little nervous too. During class, I was getting used to it but I was still happy and when it got to recess and lunch I was running around everywhere. After school I was exhausted!

The night before we came to School I could not sleep at all because I was so happy! When I arrived at School, I loved seeing all of my friends. We played and had so much fun together!

A few things I liked about returning to School were, being able to see my friends and teachers face-to-face, and playing exciting games in the playground. I’ve missed everyone so much and can’t wait to continue being together.

On Thursday morning I woke up feeling so desperate to go back to School. When I got to School, I was so excited to see my friends and my lovely teacher. When it was lunch, I quickly burst out the door, because I couldn’t wait to go and play in the playground again and play with my friends. When it was the end of the day I was so sad to leave because I had so much fun!

I felt nervous when I got back to School. I liked seeing my friends and my teachers. It was amazing! I really don’t want to go back into lockdown because it will be a lot harder, and I will miss my friends and teachers again. Now I am going to miss being at home, because I can’t see my family a lot during school time.

I felt very happy because I had really missed my friends. I couldn’t wait to go on the play equipment with them and hug them tightly!

I felt amazing when I went back to School because I was so happy to see my friends and teachers. I also felt nervous because I thought I was going to forget something from my tub!

I felt excited to come back to School. The best part was seeing my friends. I felt exhausted when I got home.

I felt like bursting with excitement because I got to see my friends and teachers. I also felt grateful because Mrs Ballis let us bring a stuffed toy, just in case we were feeling a little unsure. I brought my tiger called Tigger.

Sylvanas Zhu

I felt excited and nervous coming back to School because I was excited to meet my friends in person, and nervous because I haven’t been at School in a long time. I was so used to being at home. The best part about coming back to School was meeting my friends and sitting next to them.
