Grandparent orals - Akhil and Bhavan

I really enjoy listening to these orals. The children find out how it was in the good old days. 

Akhil started off everything off by telling us about his grandfather growing up. He lived in the center of town and had to walk to school. In fact they had no car at all. Akhil told us how he loved playing outdoors playing marbles and building go carts. 

You were well prepared Akhil, well done.

Bhavan told us a lot about his granny. She lived on a farm in Empangeni, but went to school in Tongaat. There was no running water on the farm so they had to walk to fetch what they needed. Because of this they could only bath twice a week! He told us that his gran only had one pair of shoes, so if it rained she would take off her shoes to walk to school and put them back one she arrived. The children believe that Bhavans granny didn't even have a fridge. How times have changed!
Thank  you for your well prepared oral Bhavan.
