C.L.O.S.E.Comenius Project 2011-2013

During a week in October 2011 (Monday-Sunday) students mapped their everyday activities and eating habits

Students from classes 4-9 (age 10-16) participated in the survey

76 students completed the survey

Comments from students: I’m really interested to find out how my coevals in other countries spend their time and what they prefer to eat

The following activities were surveyed:

time spent on homeworktime spent on computer and watching TVreading timethe survey showed that children spend considerably more time on computer or watching TV (total 83%) than doing their homework or reading!

Reading time classes 4-6 Reading time classes 7-8

Students identified the extra-curricular activities they took part in the school

The survey showed that among the 4th-6th graders girls preferred pottery classes, choir singing and folk dance, while boys favoured sports and floorball

The 7th to 9th graders preferred singing (girls) and sports/floorball (boys)

Many of the students noted that they like to spend their free time with friends, do sports and listen to music
