The plaster on our classroom walls was kept in place

Hi, can you please explain what is "plaster"? this sentence

"The plaster on our classroom walls was kept in place" doesn't make sense to me...

In order to be able to provide basic materials such as paper and pencils. The plaster on our classroom walls was kept in place by pupils’ art work and miles and miles of sellotape. Our school libraries were dominated by empty shelves and very few books; the books that were there were held together

Plaster is used to make interior walls smooth. It is applied wet, but dries to a grey colour. The wall can then be painted or wallpaper can be applied.

  • Plaster is used to make interior walls smooth.
  • It is applied wet, but dries to a grey colour.
  • The wall can then be painted or wallpaper can be applied.
  • With wear and tear, the plaster on the wall can become damaged, hence the comment that it was kept in place (prevented from falling off the wall) by art work and sellotape.
