SLJ ~ Summer Learning Journey Day 10 Week 2

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.

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:

The differences are that in my own school we start at 8:55 - 9:00 am. Some classes in my School has a different routine.. In my class we have a little talk until 9:15am and then we start on Reading, If we have enough time for Fitness we will have a good run and game. After Fitness we do writing until 11am which is our Interval! After Interval there is SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) for 10 minutes while drinking Milk. Next is Maths until 1pm which is our Lunch. Topic Study is after Lunch and it goes until home time which 2:40pm.

1. Whether you would rather go to school in New Zealand or in Germany

I would most likely want to attend a school in New Zealand but I would still desperately go for Germany for a exciting - packed adventure

Why you feel that way?

Being honest, I would be anxious and nervous! (But still absolutely excited)

Activity 2

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

1. The name of your favourite subject?

Maths!

2. Why it is your favourite subject?

Because I just normally have a passion for Maths and numbers, I really enjoy having to solve number problems and everything involved with it!

Bonus Activity
