The school of my grandmother
- my grandmother liked her school, she enjoyed learning and had many friends
- the school was in our hometown in Schwarzbach, so she hadn´t a long way to school
- her favourite subjects was needlework (stitch, sew and so on)
- she had to learn Russian
- they had always summer holidays from 1st July to 31st August and special holidays in autumn, the "Potato Holidays" (they had to pick out the potatoes on the field, for each basket they got 20 penny)
- she had a penfriend in the Soviet Union (Russia)
- they had too little classrooms, so there were 2 classes in the same classroom

- they had notes from 1-5
- there were pioneer afternoons in the school, where she learn much about the DDR, they hike, cook, ...
