Chosen Hill School

Monday, 20^th   February 2017

After having breakfast with my partner Sandrine, Stuart brought us to his School where we met Neil, the organiser, who picked us up and accompanied to Chosen Hill Secondary School “. We stayed there from 9:00 am to 15:00 pm, in different lessons of Algebra, Geometry and Statistics. There, we met many teachers who teach Maths.

I could see that the way of teaching Maths in English is not so different from teaching it in Spanish, though there are some variations in the curricula because of the education system.
I observed Maths classes all day (5 courses) it was very interesting to see the different ways of teaching.
The students were  from 11 to 16 years old and were in the year  from 7 to 11 (level). At  school there are 4 or 5 steps in a level for the students who have difficulties when learning the knowledge  in Maths, and in English. There are about 18 to 26 students in each class, and in several of them there are an assistant teacher who sits down next to those students who have special needs.  Students have got a workbook and a text book that they can take home or not (they can leave it in the Maths classroom). What I liked the best is that they have Subject Classrooms. 

After finishing our day visit, at 3:00 pm, we went to Gloucester by bus in 15minutes.  We discovered the Cathedral where the movie Harry Potter was shot, it’s an Anglican church.   It’s very nice, I loved it.
