SCHOOL COUNTS THE COST OF STORM
When children and parents arrived at school in the small village of Brownston yesterday morning, they were surprised to see the head teacher standing outside the front of the school. The school gates were closed, because a tree had fallen onto the roof of the school hall and a number of windows were broken. A storm the night before had made school buildings unsafe, so the children were sent home until further notice.
Justine Cram, a mother with two young children at the school, said that she was unhappy with the way the head teacher sent the children home. ‘I have to cancel all my work appointments today. My customers won't be pleased, but I have to stay at home to look after my daughters,' she said. 'Children should be in school every day! The head teacher needs to think again about closing. He should find a safe place to teach the children until they can use the buildings again.'
Richard Thomas, the head teacher, explained that he had no choice but to send the children home. ‘The storm happened in the early hours of Monday morning, just a few hours before school starts. When I arrived, I immediately decided it was not a safe place for children to be in. I know parents are unhappy that the school is closed, but if their children or members of staff were hurt because of the problems, that would be worse.'

What was happening to me this morning was so unbelivable! I walked down the street while a woman stopped in front of me and asked me for directions to the nearest bank. At that moment, I was seeing my friend Bui across the street, I called out to him and asked him to wait for me. Luckily for me, he did. Bui saw everything while I talking to the woman, a pickpocket was put his hand into my backpack. Bui started to walk away. I thought he didn’t want t wait for me, but I was wrong. When Bui saw the pickpocket he went to call the police. They were arriving immediately. The police arrested the woman and the pickpocket. What an experience..
