Early Memories From School in The 50's UK

 I am getting ready to take my daughter for her first day of real school and it made me think back to all those 30 years ago and remember my early time at school. 


 Looking back I think I enjoyed every day and all the things we did 


  Painting great works of art which my mother had to tell me were wonderfull ( and I always wanted my mum to display them ) 


 Pretending to Sleep during rest time with my head resting on my crossed arms ( now I wonder was it to give teachers as much a rest as the children ) 


 Listening to the teacher reading a story


 Learning to write my ABC


 Opening up my desk where I kept my colouring pencils 


 All having our own coat racks where we had our name tags on 


 Running our little shops 


  Playing with building bricks


  Learning to read the first books 


 Our small bottle of milk we were given each day ( I think the Government Paid for it not parents ) 


 And then the special times like Christmas Plays and Carol Singing, Sports Day, Easter 


Many years later I went back to a school with my niece and can remember looking at the little tables and chairs realising just how little we all were They say school years are the best years of your life and looking back I think they were
