I have only have a few abiding memories of those schools. I only remember having one teacher in infants’ school so I might have had the same one both years there. Punishment was usually a well slapped thigh. Boys would have the leg of their shorts pulled up and girls the hem of their skirts/dresses and leg of their knickers for several hard slaps to their thighs. I remember getting that twice. Once, in class, whilst we were sitting on the floor listening to the teacher reading a story, a boy next to me tweaked my ear so I tweaked his. The next thing I knew was being dragged to my feet, having the hem of my dress lifted and being soundly slapped on my leg. I don’t think the teacher had seen the boy tweak my ear because he got away with it.
