The teacher seems to skip around in her presentation to respond to things like "what about whirlpools".

Eventually after an hour and a quarter the clock on the wall rings and she sends them out to the playground for recess, except for the kid who apparently spends morning recess having occupational therapy instead and gets handed off to her occupational therapist.

Recess!!! She is curious about the playground.

What are some games they can play?

Sardun and all his friends will happily teach her their favorite games. This one involves getting balls through a gap in the playground equipment and having a teammate catch it on the other side.

She's pretty decent at that one!

There are some three year olds who have recess at the same time. One, a purple, catches the ball when nobody manages to grab it within bounds and brings it over. "Hey, are you allowed to talk about, like, being an alien stuff?" he asks.

"Nobody told me not to!"

"Are we going to get planets soon?"

"Dunno. I'm not a science person. I hope so, though."

"They're not saying in the news and my parents think that means we're not, or not soon enough for it to matter to anybody alive now."

"I think it's hard to say when with science stuff and be sure, especially when you're just looking at a problem for the first time. And it's big enough they don't wanna be wrong."

He kicks the ground. "Yeah. I guess."

"Sorry."

He leaves.

She goes back to playing with the kids around her age.

Eventually recess is over and Sardun takes her to his gym class; they do stretches, practice falls, and then learn a little bit of a Tapai martial art.

Gym is fun! Stretches don't help her except with learning 'how do muscles move' through observation, and she does falling different because her body doesn't have to have a rigid shape, but martial arts are fun! She's never done a martial art before.

After some pleading from some of the kids, the gym teacher allows them to play dodgeball and says it's cool if Bright Sorrow wants to shapeshift over the course of dodgeball.

! She's never shapeshifted in a game like this before! 

She has a lot of fun trying things out.

They finish out the period throwing balls at each other and getting distracted whooping in delight whenever she turns into something.

Heeeeee!

People who think the shapeshifting is cool are so good.

She is apparently invited to lunch at this school and then will be ferried to the other school she's seeing today for afternoon classes.

Okay! (She thinks her mom explained that she doesn't eat much and also forwarded on Bright's dietary restrictions, so it'll be good to see if they're good at those now. Though of course since Bright doesn't eat much if they aren't she can just eat only at home, but lots of little meals are better than a few big ones.)

It's buffet-style! All the food has ingredients listed. Sardun gets meatballs and a slice of spinach pepper pie and a roll and a chocolate milk.

She mostly gets pure protein or sugar stuff, not a lot of fibrous things or fatty things. Fish is really good for this if they have fish.

They have fish, though it has been battered and fried. Dessert options are mostly starchy, but they do have meringues.
