It has been an interesting journey for the school teachers and students. For one, they interacted with children from schools all over the world.

We had students and teachers from as far away as Svenstaviks School, Sweden coming over to our school and completing a project together with our children!

It has helped our children learn more about the world, children and their thoughts from across the world!
