The children of Sunderland are back at school for a new academic year.
But how many of you remember the day you stepped into a classroom for the first time, just as these youngsters did back in 2004.
The new starters from 22 years ago lined up for a first school picture with our Sunderland Echo photographers capturing the memories from Bexhill, Grindon, Witherwack and Town End.
They also got photo memories from Diamond Hall, Pallion, Quarry View, South Hylton and more.
A world of new adventures waited for all of them and we would like you to get in touch to share your memories of your first day at school.
