I would like to hear of your fond memories of Primary/Elementary School, things that when you look back on them now you sigh and think "I wish I could go back there."
Some of mine:
Playing Handball: We played this all the time- against the wall, four square, two square- anywhere, any time. If there was a line somewhere, you could be certain somebody was playing handball with it.
After School Care: Lot of fun had with the energetic care-people who actually liked children (personaly I think they're rather weird).
Canteen/Tuck Shop: Home of lollies for 5c and pasties in brown paper bags. Occaisionaly your mum or a good friends mum would be working there for a lunch time and they might give you an ice cream for free.
There are plenty more that I can think of, I jut don't feel like writing them all now.
Mine are fairly general, but feel free to tell stories of something that happened etc.

I'm having a hard time remembering anything positive from primary school :( There were laughs and stuff, but most of the things I remember off the top of my head are bad things.
I did have a friend called Kayleigh there. I wish I still knew her, she was cool. I hope she's still cool.

Same here. The only thing I remember is I used to be king of the school in handball. :) That was really awesome. :D

Aah, primary school. The times when you actually attempted to get 100% in all of your tests, then bragging about it to your mates :D
Football: I was a rather poor footy player, in any position, but the fact that my mates let me play was nice of them :D
School Dinners: Before all of this "Ed's" rubbish, we got served fantastic pizzas and superb apple pie. Everything there was Delish, and you got a decent amount for £2.
Sex Ed: Oh how we laughed. [Still do tbh, but not as much as then]
Assembly: The whole school would sing bible bashing elite songs, well except my year who had invented "alternate" lyrics to the songs [So light up the fires, let the school Burn, open the doors, let freedom return] etc.
Dancing: Started out dreadfully at dancing, went downhill with discovery of booze in my mid - teen years :p
After School training: Got a bit better at footy, so got assigned to the team as Keeper. From what I remember I only let in 2 - 3 goals, although tbh it was only 2 - 3 games we played that day and at least one of the other teams were hopeless.
Aah, fond memories :) *ponders the possibility of a reunion*

Oh dear lord.... Primary school.....
well, Me and my friends used to playout dragonball Z, Gundam wing and Pokemon in the playground....
I was the one with the imagination so I always made the games up.
Im in year 11 now so it really wasnt that long ago, but they were good times, so simple, no finding a safe place to smoke or avoiding teachers who you haven't handed in your homework to...
ahhhhh........

Theres nothing like sprinting end to end of the playground trying to avoid being rugby tackled on concrete. And then the constant name changing of the game as the teachers banned it.

I also remember not being found in hide and seek because i hid behind a pole. I wasn't even thin.

Ahh being bullied, failing, depression, lack of friends, etc. All the great memories. I wish i could go back to middle school though, sure it was just as bad, if worse, but i could of been a good social outcast, wearing makeup even though I'm male and the such. Freak people out. :P

I used to laugh at this kid who thought he was in star trek, and then used to reinact titanic in a row of trees.
Also used to laugh at this teacher called Mr Blanketyblank, a short supply teacher with a big fat beard- the ultimate loser at life. The following year after I left, he got convicted of paedophilia ;D
We would get detentions for stupid things. My favourite was one I got for 'hanging around with the wrong crowd'.

Oh yea, and one time I ran into the long grass and my hayfever reaction was so bad my eye turned yellow!

There was some strange child in my primary school who literally beleived he was a pokemon, he used to sit in the corner each playtime going 'Johnmon Johnmon!' waiting for him to evolve. And did anyone else have in their primary such joys as ''Meal in a box'' Day? :) Where the food was the same as normal just in a box. Somehow it tasted better which demands more scientific research towards it.

Primary school, not many good memories i have of it, it was almost like i was the one who was ment to be taunted and hit (to be fair that was in the later stages), although i do wish i could go back to when i was 6...i had a friend called philip but he moved away unfotunatley =(

I don't remember much about my primary school (my memory sucks), but I do remember watching my approx 50 year old teacher get hit by a car when we were on a trip. She survived strangely enough, and carried on teaching.
Oh, and my schools headmaster used to believe a plastic head he found in his classroom started to haunt him. Made for fun times scaring him with it :D

*PLAYSCHOOL*
Rich Tea biscuits+Milk - Yummy combination of calcium goodness.
Go-Karts - We had loads of pedal go-karts in the playground and one motorised car. I used to fight everyone to get the motorised car and then zoom around watching everyone struggle with pedalling.
Sticklebricks - Part Hedgehog...Part Lego... Used to make some great things with this stuff.
*INFANTS SCHOOL*
Kiss Chase - Oh look, I have tripped and I can't get up.
Armies - Walking round the playground gathering troops. We used to sing "who wants to play......armies?" arm in arm and if you wanted to join you linked arms with us. Then we ran around with sticks making fake gun noises. There were 2 hills in our field and 2 willow trees, which were the bases.
Nativety Play - I was a shepherd. I had sheep. Nuff said.
Sports Day - I am very competitive and this was a chance to show off.

When we were naughty they took away our shoes. Then everyone knew you had been naughty, because you had no shoes. It also meant you couldn't play outside during break.
Hard times.
EDIT: I was Jesus four years running in our school play. Bit creepy, thinking back.

Sticklebricks
Oh wow. I forgot all about Sticklebricks. They were awesome, although most of ours had chew marks on them.
my earliest memory of school is breaking free during a nursery school (i was four) trip to the library and hiding under a card catalogue hoping the bossy women who ran the school would forget me.
they found me and dragged me out from under it
i was a good kid but i had a bit of a defiant streak in me: in kindergarden i got detention for lip synching during music class

I remember Red Rover being banned after about 87837 injuries taking place. What a game!
And we played Polo as well, and Auntie Peggy. : D
And I remember going down to the office once and seeing a girl there who's top teeth were lodged into her bottom lip after she was biting her lip and someone jumped on her and pushed her head right down. Gruesome but hilarious.
Sunbathing round the side of the school on warm days was great too.
Putting on concerts as well at this raised platform.
Primary school was frigging awesome.

Prompty followed up by "is banned" in my school. Before some kid broke his arm we used to play with the whole school involved, it was amazing!
We had a huge conker tree at the end of the playground, everyone used to hope that the wind blew the conkers down so we could soak them in vinegar or bake them and win all the conker matches :)
Ahhh Sticklebricks.....
Finding out from a kid in my tutor group that my headmaster is still there! I left almost 15 years ago.
My last teacher loved Asterix, we used to read it in English and French and I made her an Asterix picture :)
Tasty school dinners that didnt include chips :)
After the field was mown everyone would collect up the grass and try and make a huge grass nest for some reason...

Aaah Grass nests and fights. All the memories!
I took my glasses off and put them down outside (duh) and a girl sat on them.
Our old headteacher left and we all (over about 7) hated the new one just for ruining it lol.

Not fitting in.
Not being allowed to play football because no-one wanted me on their team.
Getting half a frozen brick thrown at my head.
Being the only person who hated swimming lessons.
Being asked maths questions every few seconds and then watching some idiot be amazed at me telling them 100+100 (wow big numbers) is 200.
Being told school was the best part of my life.

To the people complaining about how horrible primary school was for them: This thread expressly specifies fond memories. Elsewhere with the complaints, please. I myself have plenty of merns I could have about school, but that's not why this thread's here, is it?
Sitting on the field at the end of the playground and picking grass, flowers, etc. to make nests. :D Bonus fun was had if we found actual birds' eggs to put in them.
Playing with bean bag frogs with my friends near the steps down to the cellar. Downside was that if you dropped something down the steps, you weren't allowed down there and had to get a teacher to fetch whatever it was for you. One time, my friend dared me to breach this code and I fearfully trotted down the steps to fetch my frog. I seriously expected to get in trouble but no-one saw me \o/ apart from one boy in my sister's year who went "aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaawwww" (you know, the "you've been naughty" noise) while I went down the steps and came back up. Then we laughed at him for being so pious.
British Bulldog - I don't think it got banned while I was there, but then again I did leave primary school eleven years ago, when times were different and kids were much more resilient.
That time I got concussion after my friend gave me a piggyback and I fell off backwards... I had to go and get an x-ray, and had funny eyesight for the rest of the day. I wasn't in that much pain, so that was an interesting experience. :D
The myriad times I got off schoolwork because I'd been to the optician and had eyedrops that dilated my pupils so that I couldn't read (or really see that well at all!). I still tried to work though, just to prove a point... yeah, I was a swot. :p
Wondering, when someone said "you can't play, we've already got too many people playing", quite how they'd been so careless as to allow surplus people to play in the first place. ;)
WET PLAY. We got to stay inside colouring in and so on. We loved wet play.
Ah, primary school. Wasn't always the best fun, but it was all character-building stuff at least \o/

I got my first black eye from a rounders ball, a few days before we were going on holiday. I got delayed concussion and puked all the way to the airport :)
At least, thats what my mum told me.
when british bulldog got banned in our school, our solution was simple: re-name it to french poodle and carry on.

cheer up!
I remember making up dances to Spice Girls songs at lunchtimes with 4 of my friends. Oh yes, we were cool.
Daisy chains! Made you (well, me) feel pretty.
When it snowed, gangs of children would run round the field trying to make the biggest possible snowball. They were huge! 3 or 4 kids could sometimes sit on top of them when they were done.
Conkers was the highlight of the autumn, no contest! (As far as I remember anyway) But I think it got banned at my school a few years after I left. :( not sure why.

The loud blaring alarm whenever one opened the preschool classroom door.
The large painting depicting children palying in the main hall, and almost being sick every time I walked past the big dish of mushy peas. I still hate the sight of them.
The stuffed badger, fox and hedgehog in the headteachers office.
Having my first crush, and watching her 'get married' to her 'boyfriend'. Ah, the innocence of youth.

"ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-maaaaaa"
"ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
"aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa-babababaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... I'm tellin'"
"oh-ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-mmaaaaaaaaaaa"
and the rare "oh-oooooommmmmmmmamamamiah"

For some reason some kid at my school started saying "Oh-oooooommmmmmmmamamamiah!":ultra: god knows why like...
Anyway my main memories are some dodgy make-believe game-spin-off pokemon thing "mon and kon", Grass wars between the oldest kids and everyone else, "Block" and "Catch". Good times:)

Primary school was legendary, year 6 was the coolest year of my life, honestly. Some of the games we played in PE were sweet, I made a thread about that:
http://forums.weebls-stuff.com/showthread.php?t=28200
There was also an odd version of indoor rounders, where teams would sometimes score 100+, but thats all I can remember about it, and a cool version of handball, played like 5-a-side football.

Aye, we played it with a sponge ball a bit bigger than a tennis ball. It rocked.
I was slow at eating my sandwiches, I always got outside last :( (we had to eat indoors, litter control).
Loved destroying my shoes by skating over iced-up tarmac during winter.

Ah, primary school: this is what i remember of the good times:
> Christmas parties - every christmas we would have a day when we could come in NOT wearing uniform and play games and eat junk food provided by the teachers and generally doss about - it rocked so much (when i was 10, obviously...:ninja:)
> Playground games - red letter was a favourite at my school, although now i can't remember for the life of me how we played it :p - also having handstand and cartwheel contests on the field during summer (the girls only, obviously....at least, i don't remember any particularly camp 10-year old boys taking part) - watching the boys take up pretty much the whole concrete of the playground to play football (badly)
> Assembly - lol, it makes me very sad, but i loved this - they played pretty good music as we went in, there's was always a chance that you'd get asked to read the bible reading AND they gave out prizes - i got a creative writing award once! *pride* also i went to a church school, and one time we had this guy who at the end of his talk went 'i'm gonna pray now, if you want to make it YOUR prayer say 'amen' with me at the end' - in a certain rebellious phase i went through, i took GREAT delight in purposefully NOT saying amen at the end of prayers - however sad (again :p) that makes me
> school plays - they were always ace, and you got to miss loads of lessons rehearsing for them, and then a whole afternoon off watching the dress rehearsal!
There's probably more but I'm going senile in my old age. Either that or too much alcohol has killed my brain cells.
(on a side note, there are many things i could say about primary school that weren't so good - a tip, btw, if you have myspace, and if you were bullied at primary school, DO NOT go look on the former bully's myspace, it will make you feel very bad to see how many friends they have :p)

I only had two friends at primary really (one of which has since tried to kill me), but it was so much more fun than secondary. Before any Christmas dinners, we'd spend the morning in class making our own plates from circles of paper and decorating them :D. I wish I could go back there, it was fucking legendary, even with all the teasing and bullying (I was the fat kid).
I really hated RE though, I was punished quite badly for 'blaspheming' in year 3. My teacher asked the class why they put a big rock in front of Jesus' cave, to which I replied, "To stop him rolling down the hill?" I can't remember being shouted at more than then. Everybody else thought it was funny.
Also found a cockroach in my plimsoll during PE one time. I was wearing them as well, I don't know how I didn't notice it before...

Same here, he tried to strangle me but we were more like the 2 loners who hanged around together and the angry kid who was friends with me because we were friends since pre-school or something and still am to this day isn't that right Mr.L.Xp.
Apart from that I was so depressed/stressed I blanked most of my memory. Most of my memories are a year old
Apart from one big memory of getting married with a girl in my year for a school thing learning about marrige and from the 90 people in that year we were picked at random she wasn't even cute and I believe in the eyes of 'God' I'm still married to her thank 'God' I'm an atheist heh heh he

Can't remember what page it was on, but saying that "I've tripped over and can't get up" in kiss chase was a favourite.
Primary school rocked, thanks for making this thread, as it's made me remember all the good things about it like christmas party days, bulldog (which we re-named "big tig") and all the rest.
My god it rocked.
Favourite memory was when after break when the teachers rang the bell to come in, their was a huge riot invoving 300 kids where we all started fighting each other for about 10 minutes. A year 6 climbed on me and was hitting me and one of my old friends leapt on top of him and caused a tooth to come out.
Grass nests, nuff sed, just we'd pay for more grass with berries.
The pink star cup. After you finished your drink, if a pink star was on the bottom you got a prize, I won in year 3 and got a set of pencils with "sex" and "kiss me" written on them.

Oh, I do agree! Especially at the end when it ended up all on one :D
In the Summer we went on the field and there were some bushes right at the very end and some bright spark decided to pick the 'berries' and squish one, it turned out there was fuffly-seedy stuff in there, since then itching power fights commenced :p

I hated all school. It wasn't until I got to college that education stopped being so crap. Though a fond memory of primary would be making loo balls. You know them tissue balls, soggy, wet, soapy. WHAM! ON THE ROOF!!!. I remember the headmaster shouting in assembly saying they would catch the culprit. They never did. Teachers had to escort pupils to the toilet because of me....

I remember when I was in a fairly low-down year, the head gave us a speech on swearing, and said "This is not South Park!" and naturally, that was the first time we'd heard of it, which therefore got every tiny child asking their parents if they could watch South Park, then turning up the next day swearing and calling eachother Jews. That was great fun.

Oh South Park I remember a kid called Kenny in my year(I think) was beat up because they were trying to kill him to see if he would come back to life the next day I don't think he was that badly hurt in the end, this was the first time I heard of south park
sorry this is technically a bad memory even though it's not mine poor Kenny :nana: ...those bastards

Oh man, I wish I could go back, some days were bad, but the rest of the time was absolutely great. for some reason it seemed that time went slower, It felt like a lunch time would take 3 hours of what it does now, all the times we sould cover some one with sand in the sand pit.
the bullrush games, the rugby (which I sucked at but it was fun to run around a field so I still played a bit) and of course saturday morning soccer/football, where grey-haired bearded preachers would shout out phrases such as "the lord is with you, jesus will help you if you believe in the game."
Oh yes those were the days, no corruption, no lust, and we were all so innocent.
we had trees at the front of the school that had a layer of foliage on the outside but were higher in the middle. some days we would climb upto about 10 meters, thats pretty lethal to a 7 year old.
Edit: also in my fith form history class four of us are from the same primary school (in a kind of small city of 40,000, close knit catholic community) and we spend about half of each lesson reminiscing these days.
My primary school was probably the most dangerous primary school ever as we rather insanely had access to (i think) around 100 acres of forest. Things I remember include:
1) Getting stuck in the bog.
2) Getting lost in the bog.
3) Climbing massive pine trees to the very top.

The times that the boys would have to have an assembly because of the state of their toilets.
We had these ALL the time. It got so bad that they eventually switched over the boys' and girls' toilets (the boys' loos were shiny and new and the girls' were old and scuzzy, for some reason). They switched them back after a couple of months, but the day after they announced this muggins here had completely forgotten about the switchover and wandered nonchalantly into the girls' loo. As soon as I realised my mistake I pulled off a pretty swift say-'shit'-then-turn (http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/10/100506.html) and got the heck out of there with my face a whole new shade of red.

Learning to swear.
Not only learning to swear, but then proceding to swear at someone (who admittedly deserved it, he was a right twat) and getting a stern "Daniel" from the teacher. That was it. The punishment for a year 2 randomly (well, not randomly, he cheated in a race, so everyone gathered round shouting 'cheater cheater', while I decided 'bastard bastard' was a better thing to shout) swearing at someone. Those were the days indeed.
On the topic of learning ot swear, when I was in prep (5 years old going on 6) I went up to an older boy (who was my older sister's friend's brother) and he told me to fuck off. So, then I went around the yard saying "fuck off" to everyone that day having no idea about what I was really doing.

Best things were the catch 22s.
"If a man jumped on your back, would you leave him on or toss him off?"
"If you walked into a gaybar would you feel a prick?"
"If you were on a bus full of gays would you get off?"
It's weird, in primary school is was bad to be either homosexual or heterosexual.
"Urgh, girls. You have a girlfriend!"
"No I don't!"
"I bet you've had sex."
"No I haven't. I haven't had sex! Haven't haven't haven't!"
"Yes you have times ten."
"No I haven't times a million."

We were so mean when we were kids. There was this scruffy girl called Gemma and we used to have this thing called Gemma's disease. If somebody touched her they got Gemma's disease and everyone would run away from them. Naturally everybody would stay away from her at all times.

We were so mean when we were kids. There was this scruffy girl called Gemma and we used to have this thing called Gemma's disease. If somebody touched her they got Gemma's disease and everyone would run away from them. Naturally everybody would stay away from her at all times.

Yep, we had that. Not Gemma, but whatever. Also, it was in secondary school. We were mature.
I remember one supply teacher said that when she said "freeze" we all had to stand perfectly still, to try and control us, so naturally, from then on, we'd play freeze/unfreeze games all the time.
Reminds me of Ben. Quotes:
"Ben rhymes with gay."
"Bums on the ground, ben's around."

I grew out of that when I was six.
My friends didn't ¬_¬

It's possible that it still goes on today... Though I've not seen her since she probably failed her GCSE's

STORYTIME! \o/
Although it was a bit too long ago for us to get Harry Potter...
We got Mr. Majika instead!
edit: lo page 5
Completely off topic, but I'd never heard of Mr Majika until this summer, when the flat I was staying for a week in spain had "Mr Majika and the Interent" on the bookshelf.
It was fucking class
Best things were the catch 22s.
"If a man jumped on your back, would you leave him on or toss him off?"
"If you walked into a gaybar would you feel a prick?"
"If you were on a bus full of gays would you get off?"
Man, you knew these jokes in primary school??
Culture!

"If you read this you are gay."
It later obtained cult status and is now frequently used at university when being ironic.
Also, top-trump dragons. They rocked hard.

Yeah sure you're being ironic, sure.
Pogs were primary school. Pogs and Sonic.

Oh we had that but we turned it into some kind of insult game of it/tag were someone would say "____ has germs" and if you were touched by them you would have ____ germs then you must touch someone else to get rid of them and give it to someone else but of course the original person was stuck with them.... poor James he was always stuck with germs:(

The someone would shout "injection injection, no infection".
We turned this around one year to "infection infection, no injection"
How we laughed.

All the boys in our class had fleas.
Apparently.
And having to wear shorts under our skirts because the boys suddenly got interested in our knickers. And then the teachers telling US off, since it wasn't part of the uniform.
And boys pulling the legs off daddy long legs' and dropping the bits down our tops.

Primary school?
Ah, good times, I fell from my car, forcing my tooth back into my gum (Pain).
I tripped and smacked my mouth on a railing, chipping my tooth (The same one. Also pain). The lady in the office got really worried, because the slight imprefection in my tooth from the car incident looked like a crack (Technically, it is one, and it's still there).
That, and teachers and staff thinking I was in need of 'support' because I was hyper and never paid attention. The real problem was that I was bored and wasn't being stimulated, du to being very intelligent (For a first school kid).
I was unfortunate enough to go to a Church School (Primary School connected to a Church) So I have fond memories of that being the time I rejected Christ.
I was just sick of their hipocrasy and bullshit and vagueness. They never answered my questions. Probably because they couldn't.
So yeah.
Lolz. I remember the start of year5 when this new kid came in, and he was the typical prepubescent nu metal hoodie-and-baggy-jeans kid we all knew and loved back then. We all turned into him, and spent all the lessons writing Linkin Park in our jotters. Think Jerry Jackson. That was us all over.

Ah, yes primary school, what a big, 7 year long waste of time that was. What I don't understand is why does everyone cry on the last day?

Well if it wasn't for primary school, you would not have learned to read, write, work with numbers, work with other people. Unless you get homeschooled, but then that way you get less chance for social interaction. Unless you were being sarcastic :p
I think there's a good reason or two for why people cry on the last day. Going to that school has been part of their life for 7/8 years and now they're leaving. They've had plenty of good memories at that school and now they're leaving it? Perhaps some of their friends won't be attending the same high school?

I remember my 3rd grade teacher was such a bitch, she wrote kids up for farting in class. I remember her reading the class a book and suddenly she stopped, put the book down, and was dead serious and said 'stop that now. you know who you are. It's very rude and if I find out who it is they will be in trouble'.
She also give me a referral once because someone sprayed cleaner in my eyes.

No-one in the whole year is attending my school and on the last day I couldn't be happier :p

I remember in assembly, they announced that a student that nobody liked was leaving, I shouted "YES!" and everyone turns round :p
Me and my freind ran down the playing feild while pulling moonies + teacher looking out the window at the time. Uh oh.
I remember my 3rd grade teacher was such a bitch, she wrote kids up for farting in class.
I remember having a teacher who got angry when kids asked if the could go to the Loo, insisting that they say toilet instead.

My main memories are of us girls standing on the field and singing this song and at the appropriate time lifting up our summer dresses and flashing our knickers to the football team...
And tucking out skirts in our knickers and doing handstand "butterfly" against the wall...
And grass fights....

Ooohh! Ooooh! Bulldog! Did anybody else used to play that? One person would be the bulldog and all the players had to run to either side of a designated 'arena' trying to avoid the bulldog who was allowed to roam free in the arena. If the bulldog touched anybody, that person would become a bulldog and the number of bulldogs would increase making the game harder for survivors. Bulldogs could get anybody at anytime so long as they were'nt at one of the two sides touching a wall or whatever was enclosing the arena.
Then they invented demolition bulldog. It was the same except the bulldog/s used to kill other children instead of just tagging them with rugby tackles and leg-ups and clotheslines etc.
Good times...

Yep we used to play that, but the tackling version only.
Also we had it where the person who was 'it' would ask a question to all the people lined up, then go through a series of answers, when your chosen answer came up you ran.
e.g. what's your favorite flavour of crisps... salt and vinegar... pickle and onion.

We played cops and robbers. Where 2 people would be against a team of about 5. The 2 would get a peice of paper with £2000 writen on it. This was the "loot". They had to run to the base and stash the money. One of them got to hide the money on their person and if caught could be searched for the loot. If it was found the cops had won. If the cops couldnt find the cash they let the rober go, as it might have been on the other one...
That game was fun...
