Yesterday morning I woke up bright and early and started getting ready for school. It had occurred to me just before I left that Sophie, Martin and Chloé were still in bed, but I didn’t fancy waking them at 6.30am to find out why so I left.

When I arrived the school was completely deserted. I looked at my taxi driver and he cried, “Oh but today’s a public holiday! I could have told you that!”

So why didn’t you? I thought as I paid him to drive me home again.

I was secretly hoping the same would happen again this morning but unfortunately everyone decided to turn up today.
