Well this is a tiny group, but a group nonetheless. It is a photo taken at my kindergarten in 1973.
I'm not sure that anyone else could recognise themselves in this photo but stranger things have happened! I don't have a strong recollection of kinder except for these few things.
*There was a chook shed in the garden. We used to crowd behind it to poke blades of grass through holes in the tin for the chooks to grab. That was very thrilling because we couldn't see the chooks and when they snatched the grass it was a big surprise.
*I have a vague idea that I may have had a boyfriend called Charlie (not sure about that..but I have always been a bit boy crazy)
*The kinder teacher was called Sister Sawyer.
*We had fish 'n chips on Fridays.
*We had cooked peas and carrots other days, the smell of which made me gag. Yuck!!
That's me in the blue. I like that red dress even though it's a tad brief.

Great photo, it just captures the mood so well.
My Mum was my kinda teacher and apart from some vague memories it is really just a blur... I had one of those prams - actually I still have it!
Great pic.

Awww. You look like your in the dolly corner. Love those prams.
This picture is brilliant - in color and mood! I love the recollections. I hate the smell of cooked peas and carrots!
