My primary school is located at Balzimska, a suburban area of Prague , and is a Catholic school named St Anthony's School. It is quite a small school, covering only about three football fields. It has two gates, one which is used as an entrance for vehicles and the other is used for vehicle exits and pedestrian entry/exit./a It has a four-storey main building that houses all the primary and intermediate classrooms and a side building that houses the high school classrooms. Like other Catholic schools, it has a church servicing the local parishioners. We were required to wear white collared shirts with a left breast pocket (that has the school seal on it) and brown short pants. During our primary school days we took up basic subjects in Ehglish, Reading , Writing, some arts and experiments in science as well as mathematics, religion and proper manners. My favorite teacher then was a certain Mr Czerny (whom I presume must have already retired by now). We had organized sports such as beginner's football, basketball, and gymnastics. But after formal school hours, we used to play a game called 'policia,' similar to the 'cops and robbers' game in other countries.
