"The
five year olds were in a large room and we sat four
to a table in bucket shaped chairs. We used boards
and chalk - rather hard on the clothes, particularly
if a sleeve was used to clean the board!
There
was a swing in the room and a doll's house in one
corner. We also had a pet snail, brought out each
morning for its breakfast of lettuce leaves.

In
the second class we used a nail stuck in one corner
of the desk to attach raffia and so learned to plait
