Yesterday was Sunday, and like every week, I went to my painting class early in the morning. Our class starts around 6 o’clock, but I reached there at 6:10. I went to my bench and took out my painting things. We always have to stand in line to get drawing pictures from our teacher.

One of my benchmates was absent today, and another senior boy who sits beside me also came late. For today’s drawing, I got a picture of a boy and a girl planting a tree. It took me a long time to draw it because I was using watercolors, and that can be a bit tough!

There was a girl in my class who looked very sick. She was coughing a lot. Our teacher asked her, “Should I call your mom, because you are very sick?” After hearing this, she went outside and started vomiting. The teacher tried calling her parents, but they didn’t pick up at first, which made our teacher worry. He kept calling, and finally her parents answered. She packed her things and waited quietly until her parents came to pick her up. The teacher told us not to come to class if we are feeling very sick.

After that, we continued our drawings. When we finished, we stood in line again to have our paintings checked by the teacher. If we finished early, we could collect new pictures to draw.

Soon it was time to go home. I saw lots of kids from the next batch standing outside and waiting for our class to finish so they could come in. Then my Dad came to pick me up and take me home.

It was an interesting day at painting class!
