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.
