I have a host of 'assembly' stories. One of my favourites was when the head was leading an a 'daily act of worship' on Shrove Tuesday. Had all the ingredients and portable stove. Talked about Lent and focussing on thoughtful prayer and God etc etc. All quite serious and probably beyond most of the kids and the staff were all daydreaming away! Anyway she then started to make a pancake, with me as her assistant. All was going well and then she got to the bit when she needed to toss the pancake.
'Oh children' she said, 'I hope I catch it. I am not much of a tosser'
Well all of us staff collapsed trying to suppress our laughter. Afterwards she came to ask me what she had said that so amused the staff.
