Old school photograph

Just looking back at some old black and white pictures from school days.

I remember this afternoon so well I was 8 at the time and for some reason only stayed in this school for one year.It was a non Catholic school and as we were Catholic we had to move to a Catholic one so that we could make our 1st Holy Communion.

Between the ages of 4 and 11 I went to four different schools.

I imagine at the time this was quite an ordeal but dont remember any particular emotions around these events.Could be the reason I stay put now and have never moved my girls around from school to school.

The school photographer seemed to have an imagination and took pictures of the children in action rather than just staring at the camera.

I was terrified of that hamster and must say even to this day I am nervous of picking up this type of creature.

My cardigan was navy blue and my dress was a second hand bought on the market and this too was navy blue in a satin material which I really liked except it stained very easy.

Do you have an old school photo to post?

Would be nice to hear a story from your school days
