The period after lunch at most prep boarding schools is a rest period. This is sometimes not the case at day schools. Some day schools made the lunch period into a free time period. After lunch the children were allowed outside for free time or recreation. Many used the times for a variety of games. Here there were sports, but in many cases more informal play was often more common with the younger students. Other day schools used the approasch more common at boarding schools. had a quiet period in which the children were normally expected to read. This was especially common at prep day schools. The independent schools or colleges with student bodies including junior and senior (secondary sections) were more varied. Of course the season and the weather were factors here. Arrangements often had to be made inside for the children on cold or imclemnate days. There were also variastions depending on the age of the students. The younger students might be more closely superbised while the older students rather much lefy=t to their own devices for lunch.
