  • Fifth graders at a Swedish school participated in an English-themed day with lessons in English.
  • Students wore school uniforms and were served scones and tea during the event.
  • The activity was designed to simulate the experience of a school day in England.

At Östra Torpskolan in Lyckeby, Karlskrona municipality, Sweden, class 5 had an English-themed day. Scones and tea were served, and students dressed in school uniforms. All lessons were held in English, and several English traditions were on the schedule.

The event aimed to give students a sense of what it is like for pupils in England and how their school day might look. An 11-year-old student, Elvira Hoxha, said she would not want to dress that way every day, preferring clothes she finds comfortable.
