Last week we had excitement in the library when a hump appeared in the floor. Was it a hippo making it's way up from the swimming pool below?
The hump continued to grow until Alberto our head of maintenance (a big lad!) jumped on the hump. There was a loud shattering noise as all the tiles broke. This led to the closure of the library for a day, whilst the maintenance guys dug up and removed a large chunk of the floor.
Apparently gas had built up under the tiles and as it expanded in the heat it had caused a problem.
Meanwhile runour spread around the school like wildfire and we soon had little noses poking around the door asking to see the "earthquake". We had a good laugh.
The area affected was quite large and it is not possible to repair it all until the holidays in July as the entire floor needs to be relaid.The result has been that we have acquired some nice carpet to cover the uneven floor to make it safer for the children and to enable library life to continue as usual. It has added a certain "warmth" to the library.
