Missing a test because of a fever
Tom
I woke up with a bad headache and a very hot face on Tuesday. I had an important maths test that day. My mum checked my temperature and said I had a fever. She called my teacher to explain. I felt very worried because maths is hard for me. Luckily, my teacher sent me a kind email. She said I could take the test next Monday. I stayed in bed all day, drank lots of water, and watched a funny film to feel better.
Sarah
I studied all weekend for my big science test. But on Sunday night, I started feeling very cold, and then very hot. It was a terrible fever! I was really sad to miss school on Monday. I wanted to show my teacher everything I knew about plants. My dad took me to the doctor, and she gave me some medicine. I couldn't look at my phone because my eyes hurt. Instead, I just listened to some quiet music in my dark bedroom.
David
I was already at school when I started feeling ill. It was just one hour before our history test! The school nurse checked my temperature and called my parents. My dad drove me home immediately. I was happy because I did not want to take the test that day. I forgot to read my history book the night before! I slept for the whole afternoon. When I finally woke up, my fever was gone. Now I have more time to study for the test.

Our favourite PE teachers
Sam
Mr. Clark is my favourite teacher because his PE lessons are never boring. I am not very good at football or basketball. But Mr. Clark always brings new and unusual games for us to try. Because of him, everyone in our class can find an activity they really enjoy doing. He also stays after school on Fridays to organize a table tennis club. It is very popular. I am always happy before his classes because we laugh a lot.
Emma
I love PE because of Ms. Davis. She is always smiling and she has so much energy. When we play a match and my team does not win, she is never angry. She just tells us to try again. She also teaches us a lot about our bodies. She gives us great advice on what kind of healthy food we should eat. Sometimes, she even runs and plays the games with us. It makes the lessons so much fun!
Lucas
Mr. Jones is a fantastic PE teacher, but he is also a great friend. When I have a problem with my friends or my homework, I can always talk to him. He helps me with things that have nothing to do with sports. I usually go and see him when I am eating my lunch in the school yard. He always listens to me carefully. I want to be a teacher like him when I am older.
