Dream school 

What’s your idea of a Dream school? A newspaper asked school students to describe their ideal school. These were some of the things that the children wanted:

• A flexible timetable 
• Time to understand things 
• Speakers that play music instead of a bell 
• A teacher-pupil swap day 
• A very big door so that everyone can go into school together 
• Tables in the playground 
• More flexibility to choose subjects 
• Better whiteboards 
• A bigger building 
• More stationery for pupils 
• Longer ICT lessons 
• Nice, smiling teachers 
• Friendly children

Do you agree/disagree with the things on the list? Ask a partner what they think. 

Design your dream school! Write a text in a Google document or on Word online and share with jensve8924@skynet.halmstad.se. 

Include these things in your text: 

• School building 
• School yard 
• Furniture
• Break activities 
• Exams and homework
• Rules
• Teachers 
• Students
