Photos here were taken around the area and range from the 1970s through to the early 2000s.

At spring and summer sessions in particular, the emphasis tends to be on outdoor play - weather permitting, of course.

Our gallery includes children playing in parks, using a giant ball, and getting soaked in energetic water fights.
