Memories of Redbridge week


We started the 'memories of Redbridge' week today. In assembly the children had to guess how many years different teachers had worked at the school... their guesses were not always flattering!

We had two special visitors, ex members of staff, that the children later interviewed. And the children enjoyed looking at the old photos of classes and teachers, finding older brothers and sisters, and in some cases parents.

The oldest photograph we have was a class in 1927, in which our old caretaker Tony's Uncle belonged. Many of the children seemed very shocked by the clothes the teachers used to wear, and some very interesting hair styles!

We're all looking forward to our Victorian school day on Thursday, and dressing up as Victorian school children and teachers.
