A delve into the Shields Gazette archives came up with this set of photos. We have scenes of silk painting, poster making and a ‘pyramid’ project.
We have reminders from schools including Bede Burn Primary, St Joseph’s RC Primary, Valley View and Laygate Community School.
Take a look and see if there is a teaching assistant you know in our retro collection of images.

6. A lovely reminder from Laygate
It's 2004 and teaching assistant Showroth Choudhoury was helping pupils with a pyramid project at Laygate School. Who can tell us more? Photo: IB

7. Back to St Joseph's
