On the 3rd February 2010, I interviewed my Nanny. I found out lots of interesting things about school

In the past, the children that were good weren’t rewarded like we are now and they didn’t  learn as many subjects as we learn now. Now we have cars to get to school in but my nanny didn’t and had to walk.

My nanny also told me that each child had to bring two sods of turf every day for the open fires in each classroom. They also had to help save the head masters turf. My nanny is 82 years old. I enjoyed Interviewing my nanny and I found out lots  of interesting things.
