Day 10 – School Days
After meeting with the local family yesterday you are inspired to learn more about how people live in different countries. You and your family decide to go out and visit a local market. When you’re there you meet a student who tells you all about what it’s like to go to school in their country. The student also gives you a page from their diary that shows you what a typical school day is like for them.

Activity 1
Think about your school and what you typically do in a day. Compare it with the diary from the German student. What is similar? What is different? In your blog, tell us:
- Whether you would rather go to school in New Zealand or in Germany - New Zealand
- Why you feel that way - Because we got more break time and we don't have that much blog to go through.
Activity 2
Think about your favourite subject at school. In your blog tell us:
- The name of your favourite subject- Breakthrough
- Why it is your favourite subject- Because you can get into your group make something together.
Bonus Activity
