Guests took part in CLIL lessons. On Thursday they participated in CLIL lessons in class 7. Students were learning tree and bush species and about animals that live on the forest floor. Prior to this lesson they had no knowledge on the subject in the English language. During the lessons they learned vocabulary for naming tree parts and tree species as well as they listened to a story about animals living in the forest.

On Friday guests participated in CLIL lesson in class 9. The first part of the lesson was revision of cells and cell organelles. After that students learned the English vocabulary for naming cell organelles. Afterwards they did a reading comprehension exercise in which they matched cell organelles and their functions. At the end of the lesson they observed an animal cell under the microscope.

Together with the assistant headteacher and an English teacher the guests visited all classes in our school and kindergarten. They were able to see the material conditions our children and staff work in as well as the daily activities they engage in.
