Another way to learn

Adam: ‘I go to a Steiner school. It's very different to the traditional schools that my friends go to. First of all, our leaming is far more creative and interactive. We don't sit in class and memorise facts; we get up and do practical stuf, which | think is really alternative. For example, today we had a Biology lesson. As we were learning all about the body, the teacher asked us to make clay models and draw pictures of different body parts, It was much more fun than Just reading information in a book. Also, we did this in a group, so we leamt from each other. Then we took it in turns to give presentations about a subject of our choice. | gave a talk about modem-day allergies. | researched this topic because | think it’s really fascinating. Anyway, it's great that we have the freedom to do that, And the other positive thing is that there are no tests — we just revise the material in our own time! We also usually only have one academic subject per week. I's just two or three hours in the morning, then the rest of the day we do gardening, arts and crafts, Today we did singing and dancing ~ my favourites! One thing that they discourage at my school is the computer. We aren't allowed to sit in front of a screen for a long time. | don't like this, but | understand the reasons — we can do that at home. Here the teachers are very different too — they are your friends. They don’t just instruct your they help you achieve your potential. love that. | actually look forward to going to school!”
