Miss French And Maths

It must have been 1961 and I was in the infants across the road from the main school - and next door to the hall where the whole school enjoyed school lunches and where the nativity play was performed. We learnt by using aluminium measuring jugs in a huge (seemingly) butler's sink and by sharing a Cuisinaire. Does anyone else remember these times? Mr Wilkie was the revered Head and we saw one of the first broadcasts of Attenborough on the TV in the main school re arrow heads etc. - it was captivating. We performed for parents in the little quad in the main school and during morning break children could buy 2 x Lincoln biscuits on 1 x digestive at the window 'tuck shop' run by older children, The toilets were indeed outside. There were the remains of an air raid shelter behind the quad.
