Mrs. Morehouse’s Visit

Things we have learnt from Mrs. Morehouse:
 * 1) When she was five, her mum bought her a dress and sewed the school name on it.
 * 2) She got a hankie pinned on the clothes.
 * 3) The first story that she learnt at school was //“// // The Little Red Hen // ” and it was her favourite story.
 * 4) Toys and games that children at her time played a lot were dolls, prams, Cowboys and Indians, etc.
 * 5) They were allowed to bring their prams and favourite dolls for the school photo.
 * 6) Children and teachers rode horses to school and there was a paddock for the horses during school hours.
 * 7) There was no TV, but they had radios.
 * 8) Nearly every house had a veggie garden.
 * 9) They always had pudding, like rice pudding, or apple pie for tea time.
 * 10) They didn’t have supermarkets. They went to a small grocery for shopping.
 * 11) The grocery was usually run by a man and his wife. They would get things for you and you just waited at the counter. There were no trolleys in the store.
 * 12) Biscuits were not in packets. They were loose in a container. The grocer would put some on a scale to find out the exact amount you want.
 * 13) Sometimes the grocer would deliver the goods to your house.
 * 14) There was no Health Centre at school, but there would be a doctor and a nurse who would check children’s health every year.
 * 15) They had a swimming pool and they had swimming lessons.
 * 16) They didn’t have big books or paints, but they had crayons for drawing.
 * 17) They had a piano in the classroom, but they didn’t have a box with lots of musical instruments in it.
 * 18) The teacher gave children stamps when they were good, but there were no stickers.
