9 retro scenes of you enjoying your favourite lesson at South Tyneside schools

What was your favourite lesson when you were at school? Was it one of these which we found in the Shields Gazette archives?

We delved into the history files to find these images from South Tyneside schools in years gone by.

There’s science, road safety, cookery and arts and crafts. Maybe you were a fan of history or literacy.

We have it all in these scenes from Fellgate, St Wilfrid’s, St Aloysius, Hedworth Lane and Epinay School.

Take a look and see if these photos bring back happy memories.
