00:00 It was a bit worrying to begin with because we didn't know how badly it was affected.
00:07 We'd only just got an email, a newsletter, saying that the school was affected because
00:12 it wasn't on the news list yet.
00:14 It does seem strange that they've known about it for so long but it only seems to have come
00:19 to a head within the last month or so and everywhere seems to be affected all at the
00:24 same time.
00:25 I know they said it's only got a 30-year lifespan on the concrete but it just seems strange
00:29 that everything's come out so much now and there's so much to be done.
00:34 I mean because she goes to the same school, I did panic a little bit and now they've been
00:40 postponing it until tomorrow so definitely I was not happy about it.
00:45 What do you think Hannah?
00:47 I felt good because I get to relax more longer but also I feel sad because I couldn't get
00:53 to see my friends for another two days.
