12th January 1942

A terribly cold morning. No fire had been lit in the Babies' Room at 8.50 - the temperature was 35 degrees (Almost freezing). In the main room the radiators were almost cold and the temperature 40 degrees. Both rooms were unfit for children to sit in ... as no blackout has been fixed 9am school in winter weather is very bad for the children.

Fires could not be lit to heat the school until daylight because there with no blackouts fixed the school would have been visible to bombers flying over in the dark.
