It's icy again this morning. We have bowed out of a slippy dog walk. They have gone back to sleep.
I always found sports teachers pretty scary!I’ve had to persuade stubborn children that they DO need a coat to go out to play all day.
I took my ski mittens to teach games outside despite disapproving looks from the sports teacher.
Me too!I always found sports teachers pretty scary!![]()

So much fun to get out of the classroom!
Me too

Not in the days before tracksuits, shorts, etc. Having to play hockey in the winter on a misty field, wearing a house T-shirt, thick brown knickers, a white knitted jumper (if it was icy), long socks and hockey boots was not my idea of fun. We also had to walk to the field along the A3 wearing just those clothes and a school hat! I usually had to play defence on the winning team and spent most of the time standing peering through the mist or rain, unable to see all the goals our team was scoring!So much fun to get out of the classroom!

That was me too and I loved hockey. We had brown knickers and a very short skirt with pleats at the back (like a mini kilt!). We had to cross the road to get to the playing field but we also had a lot of away games going by small coachLeft winger

I played Left Winger too, and loved it! I was particularly good at dribbling. We had long hockey socks, navy gym knickers and a pleated navy short skirt, with a white aertex polo shirt. And thankfully we caught a school coach to and from the pitch, it would’ve been a long walk.That was me too and I loved hockey.
