Food from England

• Today we went to a restaurant. We had a sandwich
  with tomatoes , cheese, salad, and meat. We
  learned a hungry English man invented the
  sandwich when he ordered slices of meat and
  cheese stuffed between 2 pieces of bread. Some
  other food from England are cheddar cheese,
  Salisbury steak , Shepherds pie, fish and chips,
  and Yorkshire pudding.

  lots of fireworks.

English Schools

  us all about schools in England. We learned about
  elementary and high schools first. There are
  hundreds of schools in England. It is free to go
  to school if you are in ages 5-16. Kids can
  choose if they want to be home schooled or they
  can go to school. There are 2 separate stages.
  They are from ages 5-11 and 12-18. You are
  addressed as your surname, ( your last name) when
  you are in 4-11. When you are in 11-16 you are
  addressed as Miss or Sir. In middle school, there
  are fun days that are called rainbow days. You
