The children of course all have their favorite subjects as well as activities at school. It is interesting to listen to their assessment. One interesting apect here is that while their choices of favorite subjects varies substantially, the two subjects most infrequently mentioned in maths and science. Here it is difficult to tell if this reflects how the subjects are tauhjt or simply that the children's opinions reflects the more rigourous natue of the disciplines.

Assessment

Maths is awful,
Maths is hard,
So I won't do well,
In my assessment card.

Geography is great,
Geography is fun;
I'll do well in it,
And I'll please my mum.

History's OK
History's not bad,
So if I come last,
I will be sad.

Art is all right,
But Art is a mess,
But when we paint,
I like Art less.
