While packing stuf up for our house move a couple of years ago I came across an old box full of loads of old childhood stuff. Amongst this nostalgic treasure trove I found an old school book that was a weekly diary we had to do on Mondays at infants school. We had to write about what we did over the weekend as kind of an exercisw in practising our newfound skills in writing, as well as a bit of drawing as the top half of the page of the exercise book was left blank for a drawing. It runs from September 1976 to June 1977, so for us in the UK is pre Star Wars, though there are a lot of Doctor Who references! I was 7 years old and it was the same year that I sat with my dad as he painted a still life of the union flag which is the banner of his Facebook page. You'll see as it progresses that my hand writing does improve so I guess the exercise must have worked. Did you have to do any of this sort of work at school? If so what memories do you have? Tell us about it below...
Strap yourselves in, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
