Impressive playground

Today, during my practice I went out side at the break, I was totally shocked (in a good way) by the playground!
It's so different compared to my country...

The space
Firstly, the playgroud is huge(compared to Belgium).
There is a lot of grass, trees... the childeren have a lot of space where they can run and play, but of course they are some invisible limites.
They have a lot of "games" : swings, bridges, tunnels, climbing walls... in Belgium the playgrounds look like a prison: there are high walls, a big gate, 120 kids more or less in the same space without any grass because it brings mud!


The freedom
There is a teacher watching them, but he let the children play (some children are climbing in the trees, others are playing with branches,some of them take their shoes off while they are in the sand, they don't have to wear there jacket even if it's not that warm...)In Belgium, there are so many rules, the teacher who watchs the children has to remind the rules a lot of times.

I was realy suprised that they could go out of the school without problem, there is no gate, you can just come in or out as you wish !In Belgium there is a huge gate, that the children can't even open and the teachers are controling who comes in and out.

I think that the children are much more able to exert and then be more concentrated later in class.
