I was in mr.hardy's class and have good memories from my schooling in those days, we previously moved up to sheffield in 1976 from down south.

Pm me if you were it would be nice to have a reunion.:)

My brother was there at this time. He would have been 15 in 1978!!
I'll pass this on to him as he doesn't live in Sheffield.

Thanks for your reply treeko

I was at Silverdale between these dates, cannot remember the teachers names as I forgot, but Mr Hardy does ring a bell.

Mrrs evans was my re teacher and i can remember most of my school friends, did you wear the purple blazer and tie? i remember raising money for charity connected to smilies and pens for our gymnasium, we played blockey 123 a game where you knock the ball against the wall of the school and the next person has to catch the ball before it bounces twice, i used to throw at the building catching the inside of the wall so the ball deviated.
Dundee biscuits were popular as well as our snack shops and canteen it was well ahead of it's time then.

Oh I loved Dundee biscuits, my fav, also liked PE day when we did the jog round where I used to live (Whirlow farm).

I do have some old school photos of me (yes they are in colour)... and shall stick them on my website incase anyone remembers me from those days.

I can remember class friends names well, but not one teacher.

There were some small purple biscuits they sold for 3pence which were delicious too. purple foil i mean, i remember richard tingle,andrew williams,edward gilpin,the hudson brothers who lived onthe nearby farm,alastair smith,the fizzy tizer in the canteen was ace as my previous school was well behind the times.

Andy

Yep I was there at that time do you remember the infamous Dundee biscuit mobbing incidet when one of the biscuit sellers got knocked over in the playground and there were free biscuits for all lol.

I remember mr Hardy was quite a serious teacher if i remember rightly.

Other teachers i remember were cousins pape beeley shooter dept head strictland smith builiden c10 lol lea jordan marsh newton and baggy (mr horn)

my form teachers were baggy,jordan,builidon.

I lived on Alms hill at the time.

We used to play closest to the wall where u would roll coins towards a wall and who ever got closest kept the money :)

Just had a look at this thread as I used to go to Silverdale, but earlier. I left in 1971 but was interested to see which teachers were still there. I was in Mr Horn's (Baggy/Honk/et al) form. We regularly used to fall out. On one occassion I poured weed killer over his plant cuttings on the window ledge. Not a very nice thing to do as he did these to raise money for the RSPCA I think. It seemed OK at the time because he had wound me up so much. Word got around and someone grassed me up so, needless to say, I was in big trouble. He wanted to cane me but I wasn't having any of that and I stormed out of the school. Having had a few days off playing truant he sent word to me via some friends that if I came back nothing would be said. He went up in my estimation a bit for that.

On another occassion I turned his 'passwords' to the back of the board. You know, one of those boards on rollers (don't know if they were still in use during your time). Anyway, I chucked loads of things up so they wedged at the top. When he pulled on the board to get the passwords to the front, all this gear spilled out from the top and landed at his feet. There was the board rubber, a plastic cup, some yoghurt pots and the board compasses. The whole prank worked really well. Hope I didn't deter him from teaching passwords to you lot.

Although I thought how stupid these passwords were at the time, I now believe them to be very useful and can remember loads of them. Sometimes we would spread the word that no-one in the class should answer when he asked for the definition to one of them, especially if it was French next with Mr Firth (Fritz). They had classrooms next to each other and it was no secret that they disliked each other. Several times Fritz came round to see why we were so late for his class.

Ah, happy memories!!!!!!:D

I occassionally see Baggy in the area where I live - in fact the last time was four days ago.

Incidentally, the yoghurt pots mentioned above were what he used to grow his cuttings in. Pupils would take them into him from home in return for house points (1 yoghurt pot = 1 house point).

hiya just thought i would try to get this thread a bit nearer top.
hope everyone is ok
mike if you want to meet up after all these yrs please contact me by private message,
