Maybe you guys will say "Why you always traveled around?" Well , in fact, i have to do the school visit twice a week!!..OMG~~ for whole day~~But, i love it~ Coz i can be with so many cute children.

The school i visited is called Inchmarlo Pre. School. It is a boy school for p1 - p7. I was told that this is the best Pre school in the city! Have to mention is that, teachers there are so nice! They not only provied desert to me when having break. They also taught me so many teaching skills.   Took the children to city tour. And, i ever had chance to teach the children something about China! Wow..and my Teacher--Laurence was there , observed me!! To be honest, i was quite nervous at the beginning. However, due to the children were soso active, i was so in the mood.^^..And the teachers gave me so high credit! *smile*.. 

Now i wanna mention something about the educational differences.

As far as I know, there are some differences in education system between U.K. and China. Here are some examples. The ages for children to go to primary school is different; here is 4-11,yet in China is 6-12.Another big difference is the categories of schools. In U.K., there are controlled schools, voluntary(maintained) schools and voluntary (non-maintained) schools. And there are protestant schools and catholic schools. In China we just have one type of school, namely, government-managed schools. Schools in the whole country have almost the same subjects and they have no big differences in the teaching policy. But there’re some big differences between the condition of schools. Owing to the funds for the big cities and remote areas schools have large differences. After our primary study, we no need to take Transfer Test to go to junior schools ;we go to junior school which is near where we live. That is to say, it depends on the location.  I started my school observation from the first week of October, and I treasure this opportunity. Due to different conditions, China has a different method to train teacher. In my university, we start our observations in the second semester of year 3,and start to teach as practice teachers in our year 4.Namely,we don’t have much teaching experience as students here. Moreover, as far as I know, primary teacher here teaches many subjects whereas we have different teacher teaches different subject in China. And the number of students here is just around half or one third compared with China.

Let’s take a closer look to the students in class. Children here are so active and willing to answer questions through their own guessing. At the same time, teacher encourages  children to keep on guessing even though some answers are not right. In China, most of the time, children just sit there and listen to teacher talking about the facts by rote. Teacher is more in favor of student give the right answers. Nowadays this situation changes a lot because we realize that guessing out the answers is a very helpful process for study.
