The school day in China is long. It starts very early, at half past seven in the morning and finishes at about four o’clock in the afternoon. Many pupils also go to classes after school, so their day is really long!

Every day starts with twenty of minutes of exercise and the pupils really like this activity. All the girls and boys go to the playground and stand in long lines. Girls stand in one line and boys stand in a different line. A teacher gives the instructions, and the pupils do the exercises.

Classes in Chinese schools are big: there are 55-60 pupils in each class! Lessons are very traditional: the teacher speaks and the pupils listen. Students don’t work in small groups. For PE, the boys play table tennis or basketball and the girls do gymnastics. All students do PE in their school uniform!
