20 Things That Will Remind You Of Primary School.

Remember the good old primary school days? The only thing you had to worry about was handing in your lunch order on time and making sure you remembered your times tables... ah the simple life.

1. No Hat, no play.

So annoying when you left your hat at home and then had to quietly sit in the shade while your friends were having the time of their lives in the sun. Did anyone else chew the end of the hats cord? Started to smell funny after a while.

2. Kid Pix!

Computer class was always so much fun when you got to play Kid Pix. Remember the funky opening song?

3. String cheese snacks.

Why did we ever put these in our mouths? They actually taste disgusting. It was probably more of a fun game (peeling the cheese apart) than a yummy snack.

4. Having nits.

You always thought you were the only one, but it turns out we've all had that awful tiny comb pulled through our hair at some point.

5. The Sims

So many weekends wasted away playing The Sims. You'd spend hours building the perfect house and then promptly burn that place to the ground.

6. Elastics

England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Inside, outside, inside, on.

7. Those lunch boxes that every kid had.

They were always filled with healthy snacks and you were always jealous of that kid that was allowed to have fruit roll-ups.

8. Easter Hat parades.

This was one of the best days of the year. Literally. You got to wear a funny hat and MAYBE you'd be lucky enough to win one of those Easter egg hampers. Delicious.

9. Student of the week awards.

Every Friday afternoon at assembly you'd wait with bated breath to see if your name would be called. Usually it wouldn't be, but every now and then it would be your turn to shine and give you the high that you need to carry on into the next week with your head held high.

10. Crazy hair days.

You were at the perfect age because you didn't feel like a dick head and you were super creative with your styling choices.The wackier the hairstyle the better.

11. Getting your pen licence.

You felt like a real big shot when you got this bad boy, especially if you were one of the first ones in your class to get it.

12. Year 5 & 6 Canberra Excursion.

To be honest, the best part of the Canberra excursion was sharing your i-pod with your bus buddy and staying up late in your hotel room. Oh, and Questacon!

13. Newsletters

These things would never leave your bag. They'd rot at the bottom with your 2-week old dried apricots. The only time they would find their way into your parents hands were if there was a photo of you in it or if it mentioned something about a pupil free day.

14. Year 6 Disco

You spent weeks preparing your outfit for this night because it just might be the the night that you have your first kiss. If not you're still keen to spend the night jammin' out to bangers like 'Mambo No. 5'.

15. Friday afternoon sport.

You thought you'd fooled the teachers. "Ha, early day at school and than play games for the rest of the day!" but really, they were the ones fooling you into physical activity.

16. Slinky Apples.

Fruit breaks were just the best and turning your apple into a slinky (for the low, low cost of 20c) made it even better.

17. Weekly lunch orders. (The Dream).

Via tdvds.global2.vic.edu.au

This was the one day of the week that you were allowed to have a treat for lunch, like maybe a Freddo frog or an icey-pole. The biggest privilege of all was being the person of the week that was allowed to leave class 2 minutes early to collect the lunch order basket.

18. Being the person that gets to ring the bell.

It was such an honour being able to sing the school bell and when you went to high school there was a small feeling of disappointment when you realised that their school bell was automatic, rendering your bell ringing skills obsolete.

19. Making Christmas decorations.

Making special personalised decorations is something that made every parent proud (or at least they had to pretend to be). It was always disappointing when you didn't get to have a go of the glue-gun though, that thing looked so cool!

20. School Choir

Remember how they would make you line up and sing the national anthem, with only those with the voice of an angel getting picked to be up there on stage? It was cruel really.
