Wheels Day in 2008!
On Tuesday the 19th of August, room 10 had their own wheels day. Some people bought bikes and scooters. Victoria and Kane bought roller blades. I didn't bring anything so I had to make sure people didn't go past the courts. Everyone road around the courts and by Mr Mitchell's shed. We took photos to compare the different types of wheels we bought today with photos taken in the 1960s. By Rebecca Smith

Marshall Laing Primary School in the PAST!
On Tuesday the 5th of August the middle school got a surprise - Mr Dawkins came to talk to us about what Marshall Laing Primary School was like in the past.
First he talked about his childhood and about becoming a teacher. Did you know that when you got one spelling word wrong you would get whipped on the hand? There were 3 big boys who were in a junior class because they weren’t very clever.
Behind room 10 and 9 there was another classroom. If you were naughty sometimes you had to go under your desk and you were smacked.
There was also a lady teacher and another very bad teacher. She was so scared of him, that one day she saw him and she ran under the table to hide.
Lastly if you had dirty finger nails you would also get in big trouble.

The past of Marshall Laing
On Tuesday Mr Dawkins came to our school to tell us about the past of Marshall Laing.
He told us if someone bought a toy to school the teacher would put it in a vice and make the child watch his toy get squished and then give it back to them.
Mr Dawkins told us he taught the senior syndicate and first started at this School in 1975.
In the year 1975 the girls had to wear a dress or skirt.
If they were really bad the teacher would tell them to put their head under their desk and whack them and their head would hit the desk.

Mr Dawkins came to our school
On Tuesday the 5th of August Mr. Dawkins came to speak to the middle school about the past at MLPS. Mr. Dawkins was a senior teacher and first started at MLPS in 1975.
The children where very scared of the teachers because they would strap the children for dirty nails or being naughty or even if they got a spelling mistake.
Under the ground there was a little house in case there was a war in New Zealand the children would go down to the house and hide.
If the children did one mistake they would get one strap, if they made two mistakes they would get two straps if they made three mistakes or more they’d get three straps.
