  1. A Schoolday in 1938

    Share Share Post
    The school is opened at half past nine in the morning. I am in ten minutes to ten every morning.
    The first half hour we do arithmetic out of our arithmetic books.
    The next half hour we do Irish. Some days the master writes a piece on the blackboard and some days we do Irish reading.
    The next half hour we go into the desks and we do a composition. We do Irish and English composition every second day.
    Next we do catechism. After the catechism we go out to play. The small ones stay in the yard and the rest of us go out to a field which is situated beside the yard.
