Primary schools in England
In Great Britain school begins at the age of four or five. Many boys and girls usually leave school at the age of sixteen.
In England the school year begins in September, but not always on the first day of the month.The weather is usually fine. It is warm. The sky is often blue and the sun is bright. School seldom begins on Monday because the English think that Monday is not a good day to start school.
Little children go to school with their parents. They look so clean and nice and don't have any bags or books with them. Pupils will get them later. They will get exercise books, pencils, pens, rulers and rubbers too.
Classes usually begin at nine. Pupils have a break at 10.30 and may have a drink of milk or orange juice. At half past twelve or at one o'clock they usually have lunch. Their classes are not always formal. They often sit on the carpet on the floor and listen to their teacher. They draw or play games. They often look at the animals they have at school — hamster, rabbits or hares. Sometimes there are birds or fish in their classrooms.
English pupils often play outdoors.
