I was in the choir, when it was St. John’s Church, this would have been 1947/48/49
and St. John’s School held the nativity play in the church.

Hello David,we must have been at St Johns at the same time. l was born 1944. Do you remember: the little canvas beds for afternoon naps? The chalk line through the playground separating the boys and girls?
The teacher that only had boiled water to drink? Birthdays celebrated with a cake? Palm Sunday with a biscuit and flowers of some kind for mother? Learning how to add up and take away by using a pretend shop and money and then moving to the new school opposite?

I was in the choir at the same time as David Wickham and went to school at St John’s school. Small world.
