First Day of School
Meidät otettiin aamulla vastaan erittäin lämpimästi. Rehtori kertoi koulun toiminnasta, esitteli koulun tilat ja ohjasi meidät luokkiin seuraamaan opetusta. Kuljimme kukin yhden luokan mukana seuraten oppilaiden ja opettajien työskentelyä koulupäivän ajan. Pääsimme myös nauttimaan koululounaasta, johon tänään kuului pitsapala, pastaa, jogurtti, hedelmäpala ja juoma.
Ensimmäisen päivän perusteella suurimmat erot suomalaiseen kouluun ovat koulupäivän rakenteessa sekä henkilökunnan työtehtävissä koulupäivän aikana. Koulu alkaa kaikilla ikäluokilla klo 8.45 ja päättyy klo 14.45. Päivän aikana on aamupäivällä lyhyt 15 minuutin mittainen tauko sekä puolen päivän tienoilla 45 minuutin ruokatauko, jonka opettajat viettävät erillään oppilaistaan. Ruokasalissa on erilliset valvojat ja lasten ulkoilun aikana vastuu oppilaiden vahtimisesta on ohjaajilla (support for learning workers).

We were welcomed very warmly in the morning. The headmaster Mr Morrow told us about the school and how the school runs. He gave us a tour around the school and guided us to our first classes to start our experience. We all joined a class each for the day, following their average school day. During the day we also got to enjoy school lunch which today consisted of a slice of pizza, pasta, yoghurt, fruit and water.
Based on our first day the biggest differences in the Scottish school system compared to the Finnish school system are in the structure of the school day and in the tasks of staff during the school day. In Golfhill Primary School, school starts at 8.45 every morning and ends at 14.45 every afternoon for all pupils. During the day, there is one short (15 minutes) break and a 45 minute long lunch break aroun noon. Teachers spent the lunch break separate from their pupils, whereas in Finland all teachers eat with their pupils (or atleast supervice them during lunch). Here, there are separate supervisors in the lunch area. The responsibility of outdoor supervision is mainly on the support for laersing workers (whereas in Finland, only teachers can be responsible for outdoor supervision).
The following pictures are from Primary 1, where there are pupils aged 4-5 years.
