Primary schools in Britain (English Schools)
In England the school year begins in September, but not always on the first day of month, school rarely begins on Monday.English children go to school at the age of five. They go to infant schools, where they sit on the carpet, sing songs, draw pictures and play games. They learn how to get on with other children.
At the age of seven English children go to junior schools. They study here for four years. Their school subjects are English, Maths, History, Nature study, Swimming, Music, and Art.
English children have classes five days a week. They have classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Classes usually finish at about four o’clock. They don’t have classes on Saturday and on Sunday. Classes usually begin at nine. Pupils have a break at 10.30 and may drink milk or orange juice. At half past twelve or at one o’clock they usually have lunch.
Schools in England have names, not numbers. In most schools pupils wear uniform.
Children spend a lot of time outdoors. They visit different museums and other famous and interesting places. Sometimes their teachers take them to London and other big cities.
