participating and learning

I used to love covering my books ready for another year and seeing all my friends after the long summer break...other than that it was 4 square and skipping competitions

school camps, where you used to learn to make fires, cook damper bread over them, sit around singing camp songs, pitch a tent, go on hikes and learn survival skills!!  your mum used to 'sneak' goodies into your backpack that you weren't supposed to have, and you told scary stories until all hours.

winning the 800m race with "jelly legs". just as i was going to get passed in the race my legs turned to jelly & i was able to run like the wind. strange but true

My favourite memory of school is actually being able to go to school in my PJs.  I was homeschooled from age 7yrs through .

Dreaming about going to school in your PJ's while everyone else is in uniform, and knowing it's not real. 

I loved the school camps we went on. Have some really happy memories from those days.

playing elastics and gutter ball

Thinking of the friends that were made in primary school that are still involved in my life today

My favourite memory of school is the teachers who gave me support and encouragement!

Playing Padder tennis

When i realized i was a fast runner, i took out firsts in all the races at the school athletics. 

We had a camp at Ohope when I was young.  We got rained out on our overnight sleep out and had to return to camp in the dark, wet slippery conditions.

My favourite thing at school was goin on school trips and camps.

my favourite memory of school was eating these chocolate yoghurts that were called something to do with chocolate fishes, my friends and i would open them up and look for the "eye" which was a bubble on the top it was a big thing - does yours have a eye 

My favourite memory of school is playing marbles on the top court at lunch time :)

My favourite memory of being at school was seeing my friends everyday and going on sports trips with them

My favorite memory at school was the beautiful western cowboys movies that they used to show us every fortnight and also documentaries on how they make glass bottles. Enjoyed it immensely still sticks in my mind.

my first day of a new school in Wellington after leaving Shakechurch behind and we went on a school trip.

My favorite memory of school,is going for my school visit just before I turned 5 and it was around guyfawkes and my soon to be teacher came over and helped my cut out this guyfawkes poem, and curl some colored paper to stick around it and make it look like fireworks, and we had to do that thing were you Colour in paper, then go over it in black crayon and then scratch out pictures of fireworks. Just made me really excited to be starting school

My favorite memory of school is spending time reading comics in the library at lunchtime on rainy days

I loved playing with friends in the trees around the school boundary when at primary school. We would set up house in the branches.

My favourite school memories are the absolute innocence and freedom, oh to be a carefree child again whos only worry was what was for lunch and what sport to play.  I loved school!

My favourite memory of school was the very last day knowing I was about to embark on a new path in tertiary education.  It made me feel so grown up.

Free tutoring in the common room! Luckily my boyfriend at the time was a maths wizz, so he was happy to drag me through seven form Maths. My favourite memory is actually beating him on a Maths assignment. It only happened once and it was a bit of a fluke, but I'll take it!

My favourite memory of school is hanging out with my friends during lunch.  During the holidays we hardly see each other so school was a place to catch up.

Inter-school sport days were The Best! Besides competing - and winning - it was just great to experience the spirit everyone emitted.

When I first started school I hit a girl in my class because she said something awful to me, I was made to go and stand in the corner of the Wendy house! Pretty funny as I am called Wendy. I still remember it some 40 years later.................

Favourite memories of school are Lunchtime and P.E.  Growing up and going to school in Queenstown also meant we had some pretty awesome school camps :)

Making a "spider web" out of the entire class with wool...sounds silly but the teacher got into heaps of trouble for it at the time!! LOL we wound it up with wool for a whole week then the teacher cut it down due to the principle being a bit uptight...that was in standed 3/4 (yup, I am that old! lol) and my favouriate teacher was Mr Stevenson from Somerfield primary...he still works there!!  Ahhhh those were the day's...no PC rubbish :P

Being allowed to stand on top of our desks while shouting out times tables, it was awesome!

my favorite memory of school was form 1 at chisnallwood intermediate my teacher was Mr dykes and he love the group Queen so we listened to it alot lol!!!

My fave memory about school was HOME TIME! :) I dont have fond memories about any of my school years.

art + lunch (gotta love those marmite and cheese sandwiches)

My favourite teacher was Miss Ashley in Standard 3.  She was AMAZING!  She had a puppet called Lambchops who would come out and talk to us.  I still have the puppet I made while I was in her class.  A very talented lady who, sadly, died too young!

I enjoyed going to school in the 1950s. We wrote on slates with slate pencils, and sat on the floor because there were not enough desks. My teacher Miss Smith was a lovely woman who seemed to love us all. We were sorted into boys and girls but that did not worry us as we did not want to sit near each other any way. School was fun with lots of time to draw, do arithmetic with wooden rods, and reading time where the teacher read to us while we lay on our blankets for a rest in the afternoons. My only bad time at primary school was when I was shot in the eye with a bamboo arrow as the boys played Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Just imagine today if someone had a bamboo bow and arrow at school. All hell would break free. But I was a lucky girl, I did not have any lasting effects from the arrow so all turned out for the good in tne end. Jill Ramsay

I enjoyed climbing on the large log we had in the playground.  If you ran at it, you could run right up it to the top!  I also loved all the learning - still love learning

my fondest memories of school would have to be doing horsecare with mrs Port, and doing work experience where we went out into the workforce to try out different jobs, veterinary was my fav job, i would never get the chance in the real world, lacked qualifications for that.

My favourite memory of school is cooking class and baking.

My best memory was in third form englsih - we had a speech competition and the three of us who won it got to have ice creams from the dairy across the road - ahhh life's small pleasures were so much cheaper then :-)
