These are my questions that I shall be asking other people on thier views. I will be more than grateful if my fellow students could post onto here your views, answers and just some general feed back. Once I have put out a questionaire I will blog the outcomes and my reflection on this.
1. In the UK children legally have to attend school from their fifth birthday, in other countires it is six or seven. Do you feel five is too young to attend full time education?
2. Do you feel that children who go to school at the age of 5 without attending nursery miss an important social interactive learning experience?
3. Do you think children being taught phonics at the age of 3 is beneficial for their future learning?
4. Do you feel schools are as inclusive as they say they can be?
5. Alot of reception and nusery children are taught through child intiated play and also adult led activities. Which do you feel has more of an impact on their learning?
6. Many schools now have a teaching assistant aswell as the class teacher. Do you feel they are as important as each other?

Comenius trip
I am aware that I have n ot blogged in a while i've been busy enjoying my six weeks off :) but as the holidays are coming to an end I think it's time to get back into blogging and working.
Back in June I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go on what is called a comenius trip to Hungary. This was to see how their culture is and how their education is. When arriving into budapest we found out we had a 6 hour coach journey to our hotel, so yes everything was miles apart!! during our visit we went to their pre school and primary school. Many things were different to our education system, they do not where uniform they have shorter days. their reception class have naps!! It was delightful to say the least. Their lunch was delivered from school to school all cooked in one kitchen. The pre school had two classes of about 15 children in. also during the visit we was lucky enough to see some hungarian dancing and join in. It was indeed a great experience and I do hope to go on many more of these.
