Interview Questions for what was it like at school.

Hi Room 3,

I would like you to interview your parents or grandparents on what it was like for them at school.
Here are the interview questions we came up with as a class. Once you have interviewed your chosen person click comment and write the answers to the questions.

1: When did you start school?

2:What was your timetable like at school and what subjects did you have?

3:Did your classroom have art and work on the walls? If yes how was it decorated?

4:What time did school start, finish and how long did you get for lunch?

5: Did you have a playground and if so what was it like?

6: How many teachers did you have in the classroom and why?

7: Did you ever get punished at school? If so how were you punished, why were you punished and did it teach you a lesson?

8: Where was your school assembly held and did you have to stand during it?

9: Did you have student teachers when you were at school?

10: How did you learn maths, reading and spelling?

11: Were you taught in groups for reading and maths or were you taught as a whole class?

12: Why weren't girls allowed to do woodwork and boys allowed to do cooking and sewing?

13: How did you sit in class? Did you have different learning areas to work in?

14: What was your favourite thing about going to school?

Thank you for answering Room 3's questions about what school was like in the past.
