We had to buy our cooking aprons and science overalls but we were expected to chain stitch our surnames very visibly on both (maybe so the teacher could shout at us quickly if we were about to do something too dangerous?!

I spoke to my mum about the clay pot for my uncle and she said I made that at home and it was a plant pot - we even got a plant to go in it! It’s funny because you got me thinking about school projects and I was pondering what the children I used to teach would remember out of the projects we did - my mum listed off a load of things that I did with my niece and nephew when they were younger and it surprised me just how many different things we’d done over the years (most of them as Christmas presents for other people in the family).
