The first time I got the children to sing songs loosely based on the story of Alice in Wonderland, was in Bourke, in 1968. A few years later, did it again, in Mascot.
The production may not have been as great as those shows that my own children performed in many years later in their primary school, but it was a lot of fun. (You wouldn't know it from this picture :) , but then, it WAS hot there! )


And there was more 'show-business', in Milperra, in 1987.








At every school that was involved in the Department's soccer competition I loved coaching the school teams.
So much so at this school that I entered teams in the weekend competition. Really loved running around at lunchtime, kicking the ball, with the kids. At this school at certain times the grass behind the school was very, very high. The weather hot and the perspiration coming off in buckets. Luckily, after lunch, there was a Silent Reading period. A good time to cool down. :)



This may have been the second year that the pupils and I painted a back-drop, for Speech or Presentation Night, held at the end of the school year. This was in my third year of teaching (judging by the children in the photo).



Even though I knew a lot more about ballroom dances, at several schools, using a record on which the instructions were clearly called out, we did Square Dancing and often had the most fun, especially when at the beginning it would often be a mess and then later, when all the patterns of movement worked so well.
