The days of the slate. :)

We had slates for *playing* with, in the Infant school, I grant you that!
But our writing was done with pencils and on real paper!

That school was extremely new when I went.
You would wonder how they could build a new school during the war, wouldn't
you?
It wasn't there when my two older brothers started school.
And how come they had everything they needed?
I remember my pencil - it had a knife-shaving at the top and the teacher had
written "Pam" in ink on it.
A pencil with my name on it and I wasn't yet 5, so proud I was ;-))
