Who remembers the days of watching films on projectors in the classroom? Or ink wells, blackboards and haversacks? We are going back to school in South Tyneside in 1970 and we want you to join us.
We have scenes from Westoe, Jarrow, Horsley Hill and more.
Your homework for today is to see how many of these scenes you remember. Ten out of ten if you recognise the lot.
