Visitor from Japan

Aoi came to school yesterday. She is from Fukuyama in Japan but is over here studying English at St. Andrew's University. Her family are good friends of Ms Haiselden from the time she spent teaching in Japan. Aoi spent time in Yrs 2 and 4. Aoi drew some comparisons with the Japanese education system. She loved our school lunch. She was amazed that the government fund 1:1 TAs. She also admired how pupils here are active not passive learners and also how we value each child's individuality.
