Some wankers broke into my school last night and stole the overhead projectors out of 10 classrooms. They unscrewed most of them but just ripped some from the ceiling. They also emptied my desk and stole some trip money from there. Then they went into my cupboard and threw the school football kit on the floor and used the holdall to carry away a load of the stolen stuff.
When I got to school this morning at 7.45am I had to wait in the staff room for an hour as the police were still finger printing. This gave me about 10 mins to tidy up my room and get everything ready for natinal science day. My invisible ink didn't really work and so far I have taught the same dull lesson to 4 classes. I might just skip doing it with my own class and go and play rounders.
What a day. I have to dress up as a victorian tomorrow as well.
