Morrison School - 1910

Children seated at desks
"Each morning we had a hymn and prayers at 9am in the hall."
Muriel Summerskill

"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.

It was here I had my first garden........here we set seeds. Mine were night-scented stock.

On the occasion of the Coronation of King George V we each received a new penny.

Each morning we had a hymn and prayers at 9am in the hall and again at 4pm.

The fee was threepence a week, or two shillings and sixpence a term and on a Monday morning we could put money in the 'Penny Bank'.

Children cooking
We learned from a 'primer', which had a picture of some animal or object and the description in large print underneath.

In the second class we used a nail stuck in one corner of the desk to attach raffia and so learned to plait - useful with long hair!"
