Primary school memories

Hanging your coats on a hook with your name on it.
Swinging on your chair.
Re-arranging your basket during all the boring subjects.
Knocking people's baskets over by 'accident'.
Standing on your chair, holding your Kit-Kat above your head while yelling, ' Annnnybodddy wannna swwwwaaaaaa-oooopppp?'
Knocking each other over at toy time to get the most popular toy, (stickle bricks).
Going to the staff-room to pick up the attendance notebook and bring it to the teacher.
Saying 'an-cha' when answering after your name (I later discovered this to be 'anseo'.)
Going on nature walks in the school grounds.
Going to the farm on your school tour.

Leaking cartridge pens.
Pencils shavings on the floor.
Rubber bits on your copy.
Trying to rub out biro with the grey end of a rubber and ending up with a big hole in the page.
Drawing margins in red pen and ruler.
Looking to see if you got a star for your homework and then showing it to the entire row.
