9 retro scenes of you enjoying your favourite lesson at Wearside schools
What was your favourite lesson when you were at school? Was it one of these which we found in the Sunderland Echo archives?
We delved into the history files to find these images from Sunderland and East Durham schools in years gone by.
There’s singing, science, violin lessons, dancing and learning about the environment . Maybe you were a fan of history or literacy.
We have it all in these scenes from Valley Road, East Herrington, Town End, Bexhill and more.
