What was School like in our Grandparents Day?

Room Three listened to Lachie’s Nana talk about what it was like at School when she was six or seven.  We heard about bombs and air raid shelters.  We heard about having NO devices – televisions, cell phone,  I-pads or net books (the children were totally AMAZED by this).  And they were SHOCKED that there were NO televisions at home either!  Room Three heard about ink pens and ink wells for writing.  We heard about rulers used for two smacks on the hand if a child talked….. (they were glad Ms Petherick doesn’t have a hitting ruler!) They heard how there were NO rewards like “good choices” or “raffle” (they were very pleased Room 3 have these!). 

We asked REALLY great questions to gain further information about life at School many years ago.  Ask your child what else they learnt about this afternoon…
