TOYS GIRLS AND BOYS
"In the town we were many children and, as we did not have money to buy toys, we played hide-and-seek and with the plates of the bottles.
We also played boats.
At home we were many brothers and we had to work to eat and there was little time to read and write. We went to school for a while and we had a notebook and a pencil." -
DAYS BOYS AND GIRLS
Every morning we got up, had breakfast and went to school. At noon we had to go for a pitcher of water to the fountain.
Child's chalkboard
We ate and at three we returned to school. In the afternoon, after a snack, we went to catechism. Then we played marbles and a spinning top.
At night we had dinner and read a story before going to sleep. -
SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS
The books were not like the ones now. In those days there were no pencils, pencil sharpeners, or rubber bands ... it was written with chalkboards and ink pens.
At recess there were no balls and we played at the badges, at the saints,
To the hoop, to the four corners, a pillar ...
or with toys made of sheet metal or wood that we made ourselves or with dolls of wool. -
PARTIES BOYS AND GIRLS
With a bone of lamb we played at the tops. We made glue with flour and water.
At parties came an orchestra that climbed into the plaza's pavilion and all the children danced around. There were also races of donkeys, sacks, rope-pulls and coins with the mouth of a container full of flour . -
SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS
The school was a large room, with tables for ten girls. Each of them had a drawer to put the books and a box of threads for the work. Each nun had a group to give the lesson and the explanation. The day we touched geography we went to the map to point, each time one, what they asked us. We were the separated boys and girls.
We played the diabolo, the ball, the hiding place, the pita, the tabas and the cape. At Christmas and at the end of the year there were comedies and a raffle was made. -
SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS
There were wooden tables in the school and two students sat on each table. We wrote with feathers that we dipped in the inkwells of the tables. We learned to read and write. To paste, as there was no glue, we used a mixture of flour and water. To learn the letters, we used the primers. After studying in the three encyclopedias. When we went out to recess the children played the saints that we cut out from the matchboxes. The girls played with the rope, the pins, the circle the dolls, etc. -
