Day 10 – School Days

After meeting with the local family yesterday you are inspired to learn more about how people live in different countries. You and your family decide to go out and visit a local market. When you’re there you meet a student who tells you all about what it’s like to go to school in their country. The student also gives you a page from their diary that shows you what a typical school day is like for them.

Here is an example of a school diary for a student from Germany.

Time	Day 1	Day 2
8:00 - 8:45 a.m.	Math	German
8:45 – 9:30 a.m.	History	Religion

Activity 1

Think about your school and what you typically do in a day. Compare it with the diary from the German student. What is similar? What is different? In your blog, tell us:

1. Whether you would rather go to school in New Zealand or in Germany? - I would rather stick with having school as a kiwi!

2. Why you feel that way? - I feel that way because I love New Zealand it's my home land, and as I see

on the Germany school time table it all start's off with maths. In my block around 8 to 9 we start off by

relaxing our minds by reading a book.

Me reading a book!

Activity 2

Think about your favorite subject at school. In your blog tell us:

1. The name of your favorite subject - Reading
2. Why it is your favorite subject - Reading is my favorite subject at school because as I read stories I kind of make up a message to the story just like I did to the story Matilda. Another reason why I love reading it because it helps me relax, think and improve my stories.
