Builth Wells School
These are some extracts of diaries from Builth Wells County Primary School. The staff and pupils dressed up in Victorian costume for diary day, and some of the pupils enjoyed a Victorian high tea with the local press. The school put a web page up on their web site of their day.

(Reception)
For breakfast this morning 13 of us had cereal to eat, 6 of us had toast or bread, and 1 of us had fruit. 13 of us came to school in a car and 7 of us walked here.
Our classromm looked different today because Miss T_ had put our tables in rows like in Victorian times. We had to stand up if a grown up came into the room and call them Sir or Ma-am. We could only speak if we were asked a question and had to stand up before we spoke. We had our photograph taken and later we saw it on the computer on the school web site.
At lunch time 11 of us had a packed lunch and 9 of us had school dinner. Today it was roast turkey, peas, potato and gravy with a chocolate doughnut for pudding.
Usually on a Tuesday after lunch we go into the hall for gymnastics but because today is a special day the hall is being used for a Victorian tea party, so we had to stay in our classroom. We talked about all the things we did this morning and what we will do when we go home, then we went outside into the courtyard to play in the sunshine. Then Miss Thomas read us the story of the Gingerbread Man and it was time to go home.
Most of us were met by our Mum or Dad, but 4 of us went to the Busy Bees After School Club.
After school we like to watch television or a video or play with our friends or our toys until bed time.
