She came out of school a little bummed out today. She didn't have much happy stuff to tell me, a bit frustrated with some friendship things - "I have something bad to tell you, Mama" she said.... before telling me that one of her friends had deliberately decided to through a hard object in Katie's face.

She's just transitioning into the next group so her and a few of her friends were the teacher's leaders today, showing the pre-primaries and rosettes what to do.
