At my school we had an outdoor pool.I hated swimming,the Headmaster used to put a rope round our waists and pull us along.Can you imagine getting away with that now?We also played alot of cricket which i enjoyed but i remember it was hard to walk in the pads!We did Country dancing wearing polka dot skirts (i remember green,yellow and red) and we played netball.We also entered chess tournaments with other schools.I remember when i first learned Chess,the Headmaster gave us a book to learn from and i played my first match against my cousin.Neither of us knew how to play properly and somehow we took each others kings!We were left with a blank board.The Headmaster was`nt impressed.We also learned Recorder,We did fit alot of stuff into our days.
We had one computer for the whole school,so you rarely got to use it (not like now they have one each!)I remember we had to write with pencil or ink pens (my hand were always covered in ink)For punishment we had lines,but i loved writing so the effect was lost on me!
I loved writing poetry and the first piece i remember was about Torvill and Dean,it made it on the wall (it only made it with no mistakes!)
