Thats right, children aged 3 to 6 years of age go away from home for days at a time!Pupils enter the collège or middle school at 11 years old. Fish fingers are also not a staple in France, but rather a fillet of fish in a parsley sauce with green beans and boiled potatoes!
In France, the school day may run from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The next zone, in this case Zone B then overlaps from 16th February, followed by Zone A from the 23rd February until the 8th March.Extra curricular activities are usually done outside of school in France.
England is a nation that attaches a lot of importance to sport, and this is part of the school curriculum, whilst in France sport is a hobby. I don't advise you to do auto-stop in the UK. Privately funded and International schools are the exception. Vous y trouverez mes articles en anglais et en français car dorénavant la langue internationale est devenue mon quotidien. So for example, all the children born in 2013 will be going into the first year of primary school this week.Another difference between school in France and the UK is that in France learning grammar and times tables by heart starts from an early age.

Would I allow it again – I don’t know! Comme par exemple, Comment se déplacer en ville ?
Unfortunately, this didn’t happen as so many parents volunteered however, with a lot of reassurance I agreed to let her go.Schools in France place a lot less weight on creativity compared to the UK. Having said that, my daughter has skied, snow shoed and cross country skied as part of the school week during the winter.
This includes reading, writing, numeracy and a foreign language. Some schools in France take the Maternelle, the pre-schoolers away for a couple of nights. While you can easily argue the pros and cons to this, I like the fact that I don’t have to make sure I have everything washed and ready at the start of each week!Although this will depend on the age of a child, the length of the school day is a big difference between school in France and the UK.
