Tomorrow, the school opens its doors to the children again. Two staff training days have resulted in a lack of tea bags, three large, family-sized cakes being eaten, and a few labels being stuck on books. Mr Chaos started to panic that he'd not actually planned any lessons, but, instead, decided to completely empty all of the classroom cupboards to "clean them out". Then he went home early, leaving his TA to quietly have a nervous breakdown. I don't think he's "tidied" his classroom since our last inspection. To clear some space, he simply carried the mountain of paperwork from his desk to his car boot, where I think it still sits, slowly disintegrating.
After our official training on fire safety (don't use water on an electric fire, don't freeze your fingers off on a CO2 extinguisher, you can't use children to smother flames), Ms Fab and I were given the task of covering the display board in the hall. A simple and quick job, normally, but this time we were asked to unscrew the board from the (newly painted) wall, wrap it in blue fabric and screw it back up. Well, we screwed it up okay. Suffice to say that a large chunk of plaster is now missing from the hall wall, but that's all right, as we hastily put the board back up before anyone noticed. Telling the Boss Lady that it couldn't be done her way, we covered it in the conventional way, and made a quick exit. It should stay on the wall, I think, even though some of the rawlplugs fell out. If it comes down, it'll only land on an infant, and we've got far too many of those.
