SCOTLAND STREET SCHOOL

Philippa Greaves We went in the Victorian School in Glasgow and I was feeling frightened. The lady who was teaching was called Miss Fraser but we had to call her Ma'am. We went to a place were you changed into different clothes then we put our hair in a pony tail because Miss Fraser didn't like hair down.

The big moment had arrived. We went in and Miss Fraser told us where to sit and she said there are some slates down the side of the desk. We did some mental arithmetic. I got I out of 10. That wasn't very good. Then we did some victorian writing like this a b c d. Last of all we were told to hold our breath for the count of 3 until she had finished speaking. Then it was over and we were out in the fresh air. I didn't like the teacher very much.
