We do and we have the photos to prove it. Here are 9 scenes which show everyone from TV personalities to royalty paying a visit to schools across South Tyneside.
Were you there for an important day at St Joseph’s RC Primary, Park View School or Cleadon Village Primary?
How about at East Boldon Infants, Brinkburn or Boldon School?
We have all this and more so why not take a look and then get in touch with your own memories?
