Tower House School, Barmouth, North Wales, U.K

This was my secondary school, I went there when I was 13 and it was a house converted into a school. It was a private school in very nice surroundings and I really enjoyed my time there. It sadly doesn´t remain as a school anymore, but my memories are still very much alive. I used to really like singing when we had assembly, although I wasn´t very keen on the school uniform and the regulation school bags! 

I was in  class with Yasmine Valizadeh,Carys Williams, Jenny Bustin, Chris Pugh, Jane Hallard, Phil Jones etc. I´ve found some of them again with the help of facebook, but not everyone and it´s nice to catch up on the good old days and the pranks we used to do.  

My favourite teachers at Greenholm Junior and Infant school

Well, I liked nearly all of the teachers but I had my favourites obviously, and I remember some of them better than others.  I remember Mrs.Owen, Mrs.Clarke, Mrs.Mcfarlene, Mr.Higgs, Mrs.Grove, Mrs.Campbell,  Mr.Leworthy and not forgetting Mrs.Morgan, she coud be tough eh, but she was brilliant! I think my favourites of favourites though were Mrs.Charlton and Mrs.Owen, I also loved the way that Mrs.Grove used to be crazy about pigs! She had pigs on everything! On her bag, pig ear-rings, pig bracelets, she was cool though.  I also had a little crush on Mr.Higgs, I thought that he was handsome lol! 

My best mates at Greenholm Junior and Infant School

I had loads of mates, but my best mates were Angela Hill, Julie Nottingham, Aneesh Warmer and Denise Thorpe.  Angela Hill and I were especially close as we lived on the same road and I used to play a lot with her, most of the time we listened to music, namely "Duran Duran" , "New kids on the block" and not forgetting the group "Bros." We also used to rollar skate up and down our street with Julie Nottingham and play hop-skotch too.  

I am now in contact with Angela, Aneesh, and Denise on facebook and it´s good to look back to the past and chat about old times and our favourite teachers. 

Greenholm Junior and Infant School, Birmingham, U.k

Well, What can I say... this was my first school and I started going there when I was a mere five years old! I remember clearly my very first day when I went up the seemingly never-ending path to the school entrance. It was all so big and over-whelming and I remember feeling quite "grown-up" as I walked in, but I also felt apprehensive and had butterflies in my stomach. I was led to my classroom and I recall that everything was so tidy with very colourful pictures and posters on the wall. I then noticed an enormous bright rug on the floor in front of the teacher´s desk and felt excited as I hoped that it was going to be the "story rug", which it indeed was!!

My teacher´s name was Mrs. Clarke, she was very kind and pleasant to me and I felt at ease with her from that day on. That day she told me and the rest of my class a story about a princess and her friends and I was very happy. My first day at Greenholm has always stuck in my memory as the teachers were always so nice and it was a great school.
