… as Coldplay sang once.
The build of the extra classrooms, staff room and kitchen was not planned with the weather in mind. It’s raining. But really there should another word for the stuff that falls out of the sky at a ferocious clip. Everything stops when the heavens open—except our team of builders who seem to be impervious to the blistering sun and thrashing rain. If the job isn’t finished on time it won’t be for want of trying, and that includes the children in between classes.
Meanwhile School Lane (as it will soon be Christened) is a quagmire. Even trucks delivering materials get stuck in the mud and have to be pushed the last few hundred metres to the school. When they leave the drivers all utter the same refrain: ‘I’m not coming here again!’
