Room 5 visits a classroom from a long time ago.

At Howick Historical Village the small children had to line up first, bigger children at the back because they had only one classroom for big and little children.

The teacher wore a bonnet and a cloak. She thought the adults had come to school in their underwear.

The girls go first. Hands in front. Boys go last hands behind backs.

Boys had to be the gentlemen and bowed. The girls did a curtsy. Then we sat down.

We had to sit up straight and have our hands on our laps.

The teacher is inspecting our hands to see if they are clean.

Azaria and Bentley are writing on slates like they did in the olden days.
