School memories

Funny you should remember X and her pink and mauve sweaters because when I think back to those days that’s what I remember her wearing – must have made a big impression! I remember X and her suits and that young one that came in our last year or so with the scruffy heels and how I remember her writing ‘Silence is Golden’ on the board and not really appreciating it then. Believe me with three children I certainly do now!!

He has settled wonderfully [at school] and is eating like a horse and working hard – and has also made friends with the other newest boys, so that is good. His first letter was all about playing marbles with his friend who lost his best one down a drain, so they held a funeral service over the drain which was quite an inspired idea!

In Musicianship we spend most of the time clapping hand rhythms!

The mock courts were quite funny. In our one, one of our lecturers was the accused (5 murders to his name) and he played the part v. well. We had exhibits 1-6 each being a trophy he’d taken away – head, hand etc. (made out of potato dipped in jam) except the last which was the thing he’d done it all with – bottle opener. He was sentenced, needless to say, to a lifetime of teaching German!
