When I returned to primary school
for the fourth year we all got called in to a special assembly.

It appeared that an act of diabolical vandalism had occured during the school holidays, when a gang of older youths had broken in to the school.

The good news was that nothing had been taken, and that no graffiti had been sprayed anywhere, and none of the classrooms damaged.

There was only one piece of vandalism that had occured, as was explained to us at the time by the headmaster.

Someone it appears had broken into our school with the sole intention of doing a "big job" in the piano.

An upright piano too, so it must have taken some amazing feat of dexterity and balance to hover up there.

That is so much better than my simIlar tale
It beggars belief that the teachers would actually tell the kids the exact nature of the jobbery. I'm 31 and I find it hilarious so god only knows what an eight-year-old would make of it.

Did the headmaster use the phrase “big job”? If not i'd love to hear what he did say.

Yep
He went with "big job", which sounds quite poetic in a rather flustered and embarrased Welsh accent.

The rumour had already gone round as to the nature of the incident so I think he went for the sensible option of just admitting that was what had happened.
