School life and clubs

Hi Weekend life was great for me but like all good thing they End come Monday morning.It's the start of School so your up at the crack of dawn,wash,Dress and breakfast before your off on a joyful hard working day at School.leaving home you join up with the rest of the clan and friends and leg it up the road messing about and kicking a tin can or a empty boxes or just acting out.Sometimes we Jump on the TrollyBus to school.

Once at school you disperse into you own group of friends,normally having a game of Football or British Bulldog.(for those not in the know you have 1 or 2 people in the middle of the playground and you run from 1 side to the other until there is just one person left),Its ruff and tumble.Many a cut and bruised boy started classes each day.

Lessons started a 9:00o'clock till 4:00o'clock,with 2 break times(milk in the morning break)and the lunch time.

8 lessons a day which was great.Every morning was the same the bell would ring and we all lined up and went to class for roll call,then it was into the Hall for Prays and a sing song,before the lessons started.

You never really understand things when you young.But of course you were taught the 3R's which were Reading,Writing and Arithmetic,or as our teacher said,read,write and remember the Rules.Junior school age 5--11yrs were Fun you knew what each day brought and the fun and games you got up to.

I use to look forward the Lunch Time and the School meals,They were great with quit a few favorites that I liked.for Example the Mince and Mash,Choc pudding and strawberry Custard,Pie chips and Peas/beans,with Frog spawn (tapioca)for afters.Rhubarb crumble and custard Prune's and rice.Yes these were some of the really great School dinners.

After school we go scrumping for apples(any fruit that was ready) or knock about playing Football,sometimes we go to the AirFix factory and look through the Reject Bin and help ourselvers to the planes and boats bits then make one good one out of it.

Holiday time we went to Play-Center where we played sport and did Art & Crafts,did Gymnastics,Listern to Music and just had fun.They always had a Day trip to Bushy Park and trips to the Museum.playing football against other Centre's was fun.

But like all good things they changed like Girlfriends and Cubs and other thing that occupy a young inquistive person.There was never a dull moment in my young Tearaway life.LOL!!
