On Friday 22^nd January, we had the wonderful opportunity of welcoming 5 teachers from Sweden.  They had a tour of the school where they were able to observe many lessons such as Fit in 5, Phonics and Guided Reading. The teachers especially enjoyed spending time in the Early Years.

The Swedish teachers were very impressed with how well behaved the children were and the respect they showed towards each other and adults. They were also amazed at how creative the Learning Environment was throughout the school.

We look forward to continuing having links with our friends in Sweden.

Comments from the Swedish Teachers

“I worked with programming and robots and the students had such joy in their eyes, which made my day.”
“ We were very welcomed and taken care of and we got the chance to take part in what happens on a regular school-Friday, The staff took their time to answer our questions. So friendly!”

Last term, the Osmani school councillors attended the annual Pupil Parliament event. During the course of the day, the children proposed an action plan to take back to school based on three topics. They were:

– Human Rights and Equality

– The Environment

– Opportunities for young people

On Friday 15^th January we had our first Diversity Day to support equality for all. Both children and staff wore their culture’s traditional clothes so that we could celebrate the differences within our school and community.
