UMA ESCOLA INFANTIL NA GRÃ-BRETANHA
APRENDENDO ENQUANTO BRINCAM
Como nação, a Grã-Bretanha é ainda de opinião de que o melhor lugar para dar educação à criança é a casa paterna, mas isso nem sempre é
possível - nem mesmo em tempo de paz. Um rendimento familiar reduzido, ou o facto de, durante a guerra, tanto o pai como a mãi se terem
visto obrigados a trabalhar fora desde manhã até à noite, poderiam prejudicar a criança para sempre. Mandando os filhos de tenra idade para
a escola infantil, os pais sabem que êles passam os dias em lugares agrádaveis e aprendem o que devem aprender as crianças com menos de
cinco ou seis anos de idade. As aulas na escola infantil são brincadeira. Na gravura grande em cima vê-se as crianças a tomarem o chá. Uma
professora toma a refeição com elas e ensina-lhes o bom comportamento à mesa. Jogando jogos de cortar figuras do papel, as crianças
aprendem a usar as mãos, ao passo que, na tualete, lavam-se e penteiam-se com toda a seriedade.

[A group of children enjoy a tea-party game. Clean and tidy habits are learnt in the wash room. A nursery school in Britain. Learning while
they play. As a nation Great Britain still believes that the best place to bring up a child is in its parents' home, but this isn't always
possible - not even in peace time. A reduced family income, or the fact that in war time both father and mother have full-time jobs to do,
might handicap a child for life. By sending their children to a nursery school parents can be sure that they will spend their days in happy
surroundings and will be taught all the useful little things they must learn while still under five or six. Learning at a nursery school is
fun. The big picture above shows the children having tea. A trained member of the staff eats with them and sets an example in table
manners. By playing cut-out paper games the children learn to use their hands, while, in the wash room, washing, and brushing one's hair is
quite a ceremony. For victory. The Press and Information Service of the British Embassy.]
