A visit to Villa skola


We arrived at 9.00am at Villa skola, where there are 141 students from 7 – 13 years old. Villa skola is a swedish school. There are 10 teachers who learn the children mathematics, finnish, swedish, english etc. First we met the headmaster of the school, Tua Masar. She guided us around at the school to see the different grades. We saw children of the 4:th grade studing mathematics.We saw the library. In the library they have a system to classify the books by their difficulty ; it’s the 5 fingers rule, when you read a page and you don’t know 5 words, it means this book is too difficult for you. The books are classified by colours ; blue for the easiest, red for the more difficult and black for the hardest. After this we went to the sewing class. Then we saw the other half of the class who learned how to make on their own wooden things. We visited the 6:th grade which had english, their teacher asked Marie and Anaïs a lot of questions about France and the differences between the school systems. At last we saw the second grade who were practising sports.
