Where were you when you found out about the 9/11 attacks?

I'm not too sure. I don't even think I found out for a bit later. Parents were going through a divorce, so I guess I had a lot going on at the time.

The teachers had decided not to tell us, or let us know anything was wrong and let us wait until we could get home so our parents could tell us. Nobody ended up telling me anything (of course) until I saw my father standing in the door hallway crying sometime at night. I've only ever seen my dad crying once before that when my granddad passed away so I was frightened about that!

I was in 5th period in year 5 and Christine our cook came into our class room because my teacher was the Deputy Head and the Head was not in school and because he had a daughter in NYC he sent the school home at like 1:20pm or something. I didn't even know what New York or what the Twin Towers was at the time and I didn't even realise the extent of what had happened.
