2. Playing the recorder and feeling like an absolute boss.
3. Singing your heart out in assembly to "Sing Hosanna, Sing Hosanna, Sing Hosanna to the king OF kings". You're probs singing it in your head right now.
4. Playing tag, stuck in the mud, duck duck goose, or British bulldog (although it probably got banned) and it being the highlight of your day.
5. Those prison trays that you had at dinner and those weird fold away tables, with round seats that everyone sat on.
6. Moving up onto pen and then telling everyone that you are now "on pen".
7. Those weird daps (plimsolls) that you wore for P.E.
8. When the television was rolled in - you knew you were in for a great afternoon.
9. Loving life in music with your triangle, rainbow shaker and tambourine.
10. Spending hours perfecting dance routines ready for the school disco.
11. Going wild when you were allowed on the grass at break time.
12. Getting your mum to ring your friend's mum to see if it was ok for you to go over after school and then spending all day with that person.
13. If you're from Wales - spending practically the whole of assembly saying "Bore Da"(good morning) to every bloody person in the room then finishing with "Bore Da Pawb" in that monotonous sing song voice.
14. Calling the teacher mum and feeling as though your life was over.
15. Having your own peg AND your own drawer.
16. Making that life changing decision between school dinners or sandwiches.
17. If you got to ring the bell or take the register back to the office you were practically the class celebrity.
18. Thinking your teacher was a GOD when they pulled out those weird wall climbing frames in P.E.
19. Going absolutely mental during "wet play".
20. Eyeing up your best friend across the room when the teacher said you could work in pairs.
21. If you got the main role in the school concert it was on par with securing the lead in an A list movie.
22. The overhead projector was the pinnacle of modern technology.
23. Going to Clarks at the beginning of the year and getting your feet measured with that weird shoe device.
24. Taking sports' day as seriously as the Olympics.
25. You probably remember to this day what colour house you were in.
26. Feeling like you'd lost your identity when you started secondary school and you no longer were top of the hierarchy.
