Olden days return to Hutt Central School.

There was a lot of fun at school today as we turned back the clock and dressed and acted the way we think they might have 150 years ago at Hutt Central School. In Room 13 we had a very strict day working on the "3 Rs" and learning how to behave in an olden day classroom. It was a day that most of us won't forget in a hurry!

Our fabulous class!

Fingernail inspection.

Lovely and clean.

All ready for a Spring day.

Our band of boys.

Remember no smiles!

"I hope those aprons stay clean young ladies!"

Sometimes you just have to smile.

What a class!
