German children usually begin school at six. The school day starts at about 8 a.m. Around 10 o’clock there is a short break.
German classes are like the ones in China, but some of the subjects are different. Students study math, literature, science, music and art, history and so on. In grade 3, they start foreign language study. All students learn English, but in grades 5 and 7 they can take up other languages. They can learn French, Latin, Spanish or Russian.
The school day is over around 2 p.m. Then students go home for a hot lunch. It is also the biggest meal of the day. Although students get out of school early in Germany, they do a lot of homework. In some places in Germany, kids also have school on Saturdays.
