Next I went into a Grade 6 science lesson about reproduction of insects. The children all displayed a fantastic scientific understanding, but what made it even more impressive was that the lesson was taught completely in English. Can you imagine teaching all our lessons in another language and the children grasping the concepts as easy?
It is a pity that so few UK schools only teach in English.
