"Crested Newt in our class"

A review of Elms Primary School by Gilbert Vincent written on Monday 11th of July 2022

In the late sixties we used to go looking for Newts in the Brickyard on Mapperley top,we often caught Crested Newts which are very rare today.

After the weekend I took this Newt to School,

The teacher Mr Aldridge put it in a tank and there it stayed in our Class for a time where we would observe it.Eventually though the teacher decided it was time to take the Newt back home.

I have lots of fond memories of Elms infants and junior school.I met one of the Teachers many years later,Mr Richie he said to me that his best years as a teacher were spent at Elms junior school..
