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
