Hello Contijn here today i’m talking about my old school in the Netherlands and my current school (holywood primary). There are lots of different things in between the schools but if i’m going to tell you guys all of them this blog should be to long so here are 10 differences between the 2 schools.
- Population of a school is one of the biggest things i had to get used to in my old school there we’re 350 kids that is next to Holywood so much.
- Outside was a lot different as well on holywood we have a lot more free time, On Friday we have big break and you can choose for how long you lunch an for how long you play. (we have 40 minutes lunchtime)
- Classrooms/devices On my old school we worked the last years for 90% on laptops it was nice, but i don’t care what we’re doing writing and books or laptops ( we are doing a part on the computers on holywood as well)
- Lunches, In the Netherlands you don’t have the choice to have school lunches everyone is taking there lunch and in lunchtime we have 30 minutes eating 30 minutes outside you don’t have the choice to eat for example 40 minutes and play 20 minutes outside.
- Outside learning, In the Netherlands we never had real outside learning.
- Art, Here in holywood we don’t have that much art lessons On my old school we had every week 3 times Some lessons.
- Own work, On holywood you can work on your own and get a choice to do your own thing in The Netherlands it was you are doing this you are doing that and you have to work alone!!!!!!
- Time, On my old school school started at 8:30.
Music, Here on Holywood we just started with Music and in the Netherlands we had in the first 5 tears music every week 2 times and after that you stop with music (strange)
10. Playground, On holywood we got hills and a big field, In the Netherlands we had stone with wood chips and a wooden shed.
