Twinkle-twinkle little school. Bam-bam!

In this article we want to show you the differences between British and

Catalan schools.

Children in our primary schools don’t wear uniforms. We don’t like

to wear uniforms because we like to choose our clothes. In the UK

children wear: shoes, trousers, jumpers, T-shirts, etc., as school

uniform. In Catalonia only a few schools have a uniform.

School timetable in UK primary schools is shorter than Spanish

timetable. They start at 8:40 a.m. and finish at 3:15 p.m. Here in Spain we start at

9:00 a.m. and finish at 5:00 p.m. As your see, in primary schools in the UK, children

work for seven hours and fifty-five minutes, and here children work for of eight

hours, that in all week are twenty-five minutes.

In the British primary schools they give an award to

good children. It is a special time on Friday called

Golden Time. Children can spend 30 minutes where

they want: the playground, the reading corner…

Naughty children have to stay in class.!

In our schools the subjects are Spanish, English, maths,

Catalan, P.I., science… in British schools the subject

there are religion, I.C.T., English, assembly, science and

they don’t study other languages as we do but we

don’t have assembly..
