Camp beds in the nursery, 1951

I started Twickenham Road when I was 4yrs old in the nursery I loved it, we played in the mornings and had a sleep on camp beds in the afternoon for an hour, I suppose that gave our teachers a rest lol. Well we had a short sleep on fold up bed’s out side, and I was only there in the summer months I think they used to fold them up and put them in a cupboard afterwards, didn’t take much notice as I was only 4yrs old, there were not many in the nursery, they only took me on as I used to cry to go when my mom took my brother, the yr was 1951. Then in the infants we started to read and write, and have fun, my sister Iris was a teacher then in the Junior’s, only for awhile, I can remember a couple of teacher’s in the infants Miss mc gillicuddy and miss hurrall, Junior teacher were Mr Hill who you got the cane off if you played up, not me ,Mr Edwards everyone’s favourite teacher, Mr Ward and miss stocks, Mr Ward used to play the Violin and everyone had to sing Cherry Ripe. when my sister and brother were there it was war time and there was an airaid shelter they used to have to run too if the bomb’s were coming. they had a little garden patch at Twickenham school were all the children used to plant radishes and flower’s called Nasturtiums that you could eat, and look after them. then in 1953 it was the coronation there was a lovely party at school ,they had all tables put together in a long row and a buffet everyone had party’s in the street too, it was a wonderful day.
