An Elderly Primary School

The school was built in the 40s, brick and concrete. Late 50s timber temporary sheds shared space near the red clay tennis courts with flash new metal and vinyl temporary sheds. I remember listening to the ABC radio for children, posh voices floating from the woven soft center of the largest brown biscuit I had ever seen, fixed above the blackboard. Just thinking of blackboards now, I remember the delight I felt when it was my turn to beat the chalk out of the dusters. I loved making so many clouds.
