When I was at school I used to......)

It's a long time since I was at secondary school, but I'll try and remember how things used to be. I used to go to a school called 'Fowey School'. I remember, I used to get the school bus every day. It was a double decker bus and I always used to sit on the top deck with my friends. I used to wear a school uniform every day, we had to wear white shirts or blouses and a striped school tie. The school day was from 9 - 4. I used to get to school at about half past eight and sit in the canteen until the first lesson. In class we used to sit in rows for our lessons and the teacher used to be very strict. Because I lived quite near the school, I didn't use to stay at school for lunch but walked home and had lunch there. Although the teachers were quite strict, we didn't use to get much home work. I used to be in the school band. My favourite instruments was the saxaphone but I could never play it very well. Although I'm not very fit now, I remember I used to be quite good at sport. My favourite sport was swimming. My class used to go to the leisure center every Wednesday afternoon for swimming lessons.
