Material for Go Getter 2 In films, boarding schools are exciting places, often with magic or monsters. But what is a real British boarding school like? Thirteen-year-old Laura Henderson describes a typical day at her school. “We wake up at 6.30 in the morning and have breakfast in the school canteen. At 8.00, the bell rings for assembly in the hall. The great thing about boarding school is that we’re never late for school! Lessons start at 9.00 and finish at 3.30. My favourite lesson is Science because we often do experiments. In the afternoon, we sometimes go to the library to read, or we do P.E. in the gym. In the evening, I often play badminton or go to a cookery class. I go to a boarding school because my parents live in France. Do I miss them? Yes, but I’ve got some good friends here. And no, we don’t have any magic or monsters!”
