Bull Rush, and rounders, the cricket stump with a piece of bike tube rubber holding the tennis ball so as those not too proficient with a bat had a good opportunity to take a swing and run and hope for a home run. The wednesday bus trip to the Normal school for cooking and woodwork lessons (well there was segregation but not as we now NO it.)
And when we got home we could use the milk bottle tops to make pom poms and provide our own entertainment. Ah yes I remember them well.
Come and join in any of the 12 River of Flowers sites for the 10th anniversary of the devastating Christchurch Earthquake. To remember, reflect and come together.
12.30pm to 1.30pm
