Bodafon School
« on: August 16, 2015, 07:04:46 am »
I attended Bodafon School from 1952 to 1960. We had 3 classrooms, Infants, Standards 1 and 2 and Standards 3, 4 and 5, after which it was the dreaded Eleven Plus! My first teacher was Miss Griffiths and she was one tough cookie. When she taught us to write, she would patrol the aisles of desks and if your index finger was not flat against the pencil (ie, if it was bent up) she would crack you over the knuckle with a ruler! Imagine doing that these days! But I remember her with great affection and remember the day she finally retired.
I wonder of there is anyone out there in Three Towns Land that remembers that day too? I can identify a few of these pupils, but some names are lost in the mists of time! Any takers?
