Gothic Arch Challenge - Old School


For years I have heard stories from my parents of their adventures in one room schoolhouses (the long walk to school, helping to gather wood for the stove, the photo of the Queen on the wall of the school, older children helping younger children) ... so it seems interwoven into my life. I thought of these stories when I was creating my gothic arch for this week's challenge.

This is lovely, my two youngest went to a school like you describe (except it had central heating).
There were 40 children in the school and the older ones helped the younger ones and it was such a special primary school to belong to.
Downside they then had to go to a Secondary school with over 1000 pupils which they found daunting at first.

Anyway your piece is gorgeous
