They bring back such great memories of our days at school – so here is another selection of reminders from those early years in education.

We have another nine nostalgic scenes from primary schools across Wearside and County Durham.

Are you pictured during an all-day talk or having a go on the drums?

Were you in the spotlight when an important visitor came to school, or when you joined in the jubilee celebrations?

We have these scenes and more for you to enjoy.

And if they bring back memories, get in touch and tell us more.
