Come and a day at aspendn English school. It is nearly 9 on a Monday morning and the boys and girls are coming to school again after Saturday and Sunday. Some of them walk to school some come on their bicycles and others who live far from the school come by bus.
It is eleven o'clock:time for the midmorning break.The boys and girls go out into the playground to collect their milk: every boy and girl at school in England is given milk every day. When they have drunk their milk they can play until it is time to go back inside for lessons.
After break there are more lessons. Then it is one o'clock. Time for lunch! Nearly all schoolchildren in England have their lunch at school though some who live very near to their school go home. The break for lunch lasts about an hour. After lunch there is still time to go out and play.At two o'clock lessons start again. In this school children do not do lessons like history geography and maths-the girls learn to tupe and sew and to cook and the boys do metalwork and woodwork. At there o'clock it is time for games. At English schools gerls usually play hockey in winter and tennis in summer; the boys play football in winter and cricket in summer.
Lessons finish at four.The children collect the books they need to do their homework and go home. Very soon after four o'clock the school is empty except for a few children and teachers. One or two children have to stay behind as a punishment. Others are staying for a club or society which has its meeting after school. Then they will go home too and the school will be empty-until tomorrow.
