A school day in New Zealand starts and 9:00 or 8:55 AM, whereas in Germany a school day starts at 8:00 AM. The first subject of the day, in some people’s cases in Germany, they start with Maths; whereas in Te Ngahere we usually start with blogging. Something I have really noticed is that their timetables are sort of set out like how they would in high school. In Te Ngahere we don’t have that, because our subjects are all in one class. I think I would rather go to school in Germany, mainly because they have a very large variety of subjects. I also like bigger schools so another bonus. They have history and that’s my favourite subject.
I’m quite interested in a school in Panama City. The reason I’m interested in it is because instead of being taught Maths and that sort of curricular, they are taught about maritime things. The next school I’m intrigued by is in Islamabad, Pakistan. The reason I’m interested in it is because of the sheer amount of students they fit into the class. It makes me wonder how noisy it is and how they can concentrate. In a typical classroom I think there needs to be a big enough space so everyone doesn’t feel cramped, I think they need books and a white board, and a good teacher. I think a classroom should have all the resources it really needs.
I find it easier if I just don’t use a Canva template so I’ll write it down. 9:00 History. 9:30 Maths. 10:30 Reading. 11:00 break 11:30 Writing 12:30 Art 1:00 Lunch 1:20 Science 1:50 Daily reflection 2:00 Home time.
Goodbye, hope you enjoyed this post. (These photos are of the two schools I chose). What do you think is needed in a classroom? What subjects should be in a typical day at school in your opinion (and what time should they be on at)?
Kia ora Ben, This is a good read, I wonder if Germany have a secondary school like New Zealand? or do the students stay in the same school for the whole of their schooling lives? Personally I like that school starts at 9:oo as I have never been a morning person, I probably wouldn't be at school on time in Germany. I agree with you in terms of having all the resources you need in a classroom, however I suppose in Countries like Pakistan the children are just grateful to have the opportunity to learn, so I guess there are a lot of reasons to be grateful to be going to school in New Zealand. This was an interesting read Ben, I really enjoyed it. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteHello. I enjoyed reading about the comparison of others schools and New Zealand schools. I find it interesting how they manage to fit such a vast amount of students into one classroom. Everything you said that a classroom needs is true. I kind of forgot my timetable haha. Anyways, this is an awesome post. I also like your perspective on history, it is a good idea to go to other country's to learn about history, New Zealand school's are more focused on New Zealand history, not other country's, so I would also like to attend other schools from other country's to learn about their history, if I had to pick my favourite subject it would have to be history. Example, if I wanted to learn about the history of castles and such, I would go to Italy, and if I wanted to learn about Vikings, I'd go to Norway school's. Overall, good post.
