Time for Students to Choose

By 6D Reporters: Jacob, Anika, Afif, Mathilda, and Tara

Soon will Choice Day come and it will be two days of choosing a subject that you want to try out or something that you may already like. These two days will be the two last days of school. The date is 20-21 December.

Principal of IES Hässelby, Ms.Schäfer, said, “Choice Day is a law in Sweden in all schools and it is usually one hour in a week. I hope that students would choose something different than they usually choose and learn something new. School isn't just a place where you should learn, it is also about having fun. This will be an experience that will show that. We haven't come that far planning choice day but we think that the students can choose six things that they are interested in."

Ms. Hökby and Mr. Roman are two of the teachers that will be active on Choice Day! 

We interviewed teacher assistant Mr.Roman and he said, “I hope this will be a success and make the students happier and hope that there are as many alternatives as can be.” He really is excited over this. This is going to probably be the really good thing that will make us miss school over the holiday.

The year 6 Swedish teacher, Ms.Hökby, said, “This is going to be a really good thing to encourage the children when they will come back. And I wish that we could hire some consultants that can teach everybody new things."

Vildior Gyllander Vabö in 6D said, “I'm looking forward to do this. I want to choose a subject that we can watch a movie or something like that, and I think I will be happy after." This will happen because the teachers want us to have fun the last days of school.
