Answer 1

A Child's Life in Tudor Times
Education in Tudor Times -
Schools were mainly for rich children. Most pupils were boys and very few girls were educated. Some were taught at home by a tutor.
Pupils spent a long time at school. After three years at a nursery school they moved on to a grammar school when they were seven. They only had two holidays of about two weeks each, one at Christmas and one at Easter. For the rest of the year they only had Sundays off.
The day began at 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning. Lunch was at 11 o'clock and afternoon lessons lasted from 1o'clock until 5 o'clock.
