何君霞

你想了解英國的小學生活嗎？他們也穿校服，也有很多家庭作業嗎？下面的文章可以告訴你答案。

The students of primary schools in the

UK arrive at school at 8：45 am. Most of the children walk but some go to school by car.

The children wear school uniforms and carry their homework and lunch in their school bags. School begins at 8：55 am. The children stand in line on the playground and wait quietly for their teachers to take them to the classrooms. After they go into the classrooms， they take out their books and homework.

The first lesson of a day begins at 9：20 am. The morning lessons are usually English and math. Each of these lessons lasts for an hour.

The children have their morning break from 10：20 am to 10：35 am. They bring a snack from home to eat and they play games on the playground. Football is a very popular game but the children also play many other games.

Lunchtime is from 12：00 at noon to 1：10 pm. Most children bring their own lunch from home.

Afternoon lessons are usually P.E.， science， art and computer， and the afternoon lessons go on until 3：15 pm.
