I Remember When

I think it was 1955 when I first started going to school.

 Yeh,......... did you use chalk and slate Malc ?

Write your comments here...I do remember chalk and slate to begin with but it was soon phased out.

Just after  i started school,we moved from temp accomadation (our house in London was destroyed by a doodle bug)to a house that was 6,miles away and my dad for a month used to take me on the back of his bicycle to and from school,as he was on leave,until I went to a local school

I remember my mother walking with me to school and walking home with me after school.

...I left school in 1958 and we were using ink wells sunk into the desks,with pens that had nibs that we got a Whack if we bent them  

I started school in the early fifties, we did indeed have chalk and little blackboards but we also had pencils, wax crayons and plain exercise books. Loose white plain newspaper came in huge piles that had to be cut with a guillotine also coloured sugar paper used for painting (with powder paints.) We had plasticene "balls" to play with, all one colour after frequent use. No frills education in an old church hall with two classes squeezed in, so many of us born after the war, no room at the "proper" school til we were seven.

When meat pies had meat in them

When can or tin openers worked!

Started school in '51, can remember chalk and blackboards but never personal slates, we used pencils and paper  'till the teacher thought our writing good enough, then we were given a wooden pen with removable nib......
