Mrs Watkins used to be in the "tin shack" and Mrs Millis was in the demountable in the top yard, Mr griffiths in the the demountable sort of in between the two yards. There was another class in the tin shack as well, maybe that was Bradley? |
Forgotten all about the tin shack, still got my 1977 dunvant junior school centenary mug somewhere. |  | | |

Bradley, the name rings a bell, thought it was Watkins though, she used to be in the demountable on its own in the top corner of the playground, Christ that was over 40 years ago. Definite RSPCA devotee though. Bob Taylor, Mr Lewis the science teacher, can't for the life of me remember the head teacher though. |
Yes Mrs Watkins was out on her own alright! A good teacher but it was such a good school all of them were. Mr Griffiths was a minister in Panteg Chapel godregraig the last time I saw him (around 25 years ago).
I'm 48 how old are you fellas? |  |

140 years old next year. Wow. I wonder if they'll mark the 150th with some celebration. Perhaps we could get a celebrity speaker in like Gareth Thomas or someone else..... | |

There was a fantastic documentary on Myfanwy on Radio 4 a while ago:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0418kfw
I could only get the first 12 minutes to play so try downloading it.
If you manage to listen to that without being deeply moved (especially the bit about Aberfan) you are in urgent need of a soul transplant. |  | | |

I always used to love the junior school canteen. Huge beef burgers with chips and the loveliest treacle pudding I've ever tasted. To this day I've never found it's equal | |
