First graders China

I got here by accident and absolutely on top did not even think that it is a school.
On the surface - the usual concrete box with doors and windows.
And it turned out - a school for first graders



Severe school bell. Such a solemn line of girl in white apron and two huge bows will not incur



Near the entrance to the school two dozen pairs of children's shoes.
It was at that moment it became clear that this is some children institutions. That's only at first I thought it was a kindergarten.
Peered teacher, we said hello, asked him what kind of institution.
Hearing that the school asked me to come look. He graciously invited and said something deep class in Chinese



And then he rattled chairs and desks and kids crowd instantly occupied both outputs, examining the strangers with their huge eyes.



Here is the first class in a Chinese village school.
Individual desks, but shifted so that the children were sitting in pairs as in our schools.
Children in China learn from 6 years and primary education is free.
In first grade, children are taught the basics of reading and writing, mathematics and science.



Despite the fact that the school is in the village, and instead of hanging bell bus wheels, stands in a class of plasma TV panel



While I photograph children vengeance whisper, look at each other and make eyes



Curious but shy



Some very shy





Teacher invited to sit down at a school desk and offered to do a photo



My neighbor's party. His name Qiu, which in Chinese means "Autumn»



Lesson at school ends quickly, so do not decide to stop kids and say goodbye.



Where there children do not want to sit at their desks and pour crowd accompanied us
