General Memories: Being able to stay indoors at playtime when it rained, and drawing on the condensation on the windows; sledging in the winter; the summer fetes; having great friends.
Memories of Teachers: Miss Davies was an absolute inspiration. Well-read, well-travelled, a gifted teacher, and so kind to us all. Mr Lowde who (at last!) showed me that Maths could be interesting and who told hilarious stories of when he was a boy. Mrs Wood - such a lovely manner and great with the kids.
