Visit to Bishop's School and City Walk

This morning we visited Bishop's School on Nile Street to experience what school was like in the 1800s.  John was our teacher and we called him "Sir".  We had lessons in handwriting, arithmetic and reading.  We started our lessons by singing "God Save the Queen".  We found out that students were given the cane or strap for misbehaviour or for not finishing their work.  We had morning tea on the Cathedral steps and then went on a city walk to view some historic buildings.  Here are some photos from our trip.

    How did you all cope without any ipads? Did any of the children get the cane?
