The children of P1-4 have been learning more about school long ago with the help of some visitors and a loan box from the museum.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs Buchanan, Mrs Nina Agnew and Mrs Claire Kennedy came in to all tell the boys and girls how life at Leswalt Primary school has changed.\u00a0 The whole school learned a lot from the question and answer session; like how the toilets used to be outside and children had to bring vegetables to school for their soup at lunchtime!\u00a0 Old log books and registers from the school long ago were also looked at – along with a big box of fascinating photographs from the past.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The class also tried writing like they did in the past – using chalk boards and ink wells (with varying degrees of success!)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Have a look at the photographs to see how they all got on!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
