Fantastic memories from a 2009 day in the life of Marine Park Primary School in South Shields

‘Children engaged in Science Week activities, and taking part in a height measuring exercise’

Gardening, card making, basketball and mask creating. You did it all back in 2009 at Marine Park Primary School in South Shields.

Our Shields Gazette photographer spent a day at the school 17 years ago and compiled a fantastic set of photos, showing the children in maths lessons, arts classes and in the playground.

Other scenes show children engaged in Science Week activities, and taking part in a height measuring exercise.

There are plenty of faces to recognise in this spread of Shields Gazette photo memories and we would love you to share yours.

Or perhaps there is another school that you would like us to feature in the retro section.
