Chalk
Annie Dunphy sent me this photo a couple of years ago now: “Nothing like a fresh piece of coloured chalk to start your day... I bought this box at an auction.” Thanks Annie. School chalk, I’m sure teachers had a box of coloured chalk in their desks, but we mainly saw the white chalk. Leonie Lyons commented; “Use to love going to school at the start of the year, freshly painted blackboards and a brand new box of chalks! Those were the days! The little things that we remember and loved.”
Before tablets and laptops (when I went to school anyway) the teacher put the assignment or equation on the old blackboard and we copied it down into our exercise book. Old school! Who Remembers?
