Schools in Roman times

Lots  of  Roman  kids  did  not  go  to  school. They  went   out  to   work. children  from  wealthier  families  started  school  at  the  age  of  six  or  seven.They  were  taught  how  to  read,write  and do  sums.Later, they  learned  poetry , history  and   public  speaking. The   Romans  spoke  Latin. Like  children today ,Romans  boys  and  girls  played  with  toys  such  as  marbles , dolls  and  toy  animals.

Theses are the books that the children worked in

Schools in old Ireland 

In  1824  there  were  11000  schools  in  Ireland  and a total of  500,000 children  went to them. 183000-400000 children  were  going  to  school  that  there parents  paid  for. It  was  really  expensive.  In old   Ireland  they  use  to whack   you  with a  stick when you were naughty.

Schools in Greek times

Most  families  wanted  male  children  because  a  male  when  he  owns  his  own  house  and  land  and  he  would  be  made  a  citizen  of  the  town.Girls  and  women  could  do   neither  of  these  things.  Boys  went  to   school    from  the  age  of  7  until they  where  18.

What school is like for us. 

In school now it is super nice compared to the old schools. We have a lot more fun doing our subjects. The windows are down low so we can get a perfect view. Our school is nice and colourful. In our school it has an upstairs. There is a wood outside our school. Each classroom has its own small library . Each class has an interactive white board. We get to watch video at lunch time. Every Friday we get to bring in our toys. When we come into school we try to get at least four things done and they are: Writing down our homework, maths ,Irish and English. Our school is a non-uniform school! We have a lot of support teachers and lots of classrooms.

This is our classroom.Do you like it? We are in 2nd class.

This is our interactive white board!!!!!!! Do like it?
