As promised earlier, we made it possible (on February 12, 2014 afternoon) that two teachers from the UK (Miss Kerry Johnson and Miss Katie Miller from our primary section's partner school - The Sherwood School) had an interaction session with our pupils of the ISA Project 'Blog Writing Competition on Rights and Responsibilities of a Student'.

Taking the leadership Master Mani Pratap Singh (a participant and among best three bloggers) from grade eight briefed about the project and then teachers and students took time to look at blogs written by our pupils and the website of The Sherwood School.

Later, the 'getting to know' round was followed by the interaction session. Pupils of Chelsea asked questions on various topics. Let me mention some representative questions (and respective answers from the teacher involved in answering):

  1. Are there student bloggers and teacher bloggers in the UK? (Answer: Yes, indeed.)
  2. What aged student start to write blogs? (Answer: It depends on guidance, interest and of course laws' restriction. However, my class has a young blogger whose age is just 7.)
  3. Do you use blogs? (Answer: I don't write blogs but I do follow blogs written by others in the internet.)
  4. Do you follow blogs on 'how to teach'? (Answer: Of course I do, and I also see my interests like cooking and music.) 
Also, students of Chelsea (in this particular ISA project) had to answer the questions asked by the visiting teachers on blogging. Representative question follows:
  1. Would you like to write in internet even after this project? I suggest you to continue writing and of course in the internet (blog). [Almost all students agreed to continue writing on their interests even in future.]
The visiting teachers were asked to comment on the blogs written by the kids as well. The technical difficulties prevailed. One of the two visiting teachers got success in crossing the technical difficulty (web problems) and wrote an inspiring piece on the blog of Master Shashwat Guragain. 
I enjoyed reading your blog, you have a good understanding of Rights and Responsibilities of students. I enjoyed your quote "We can say that student are like clay whom we can shape to change future world." By taking responsibility of your studies as a student you will be a good advocate for the future! Thank you for sharing! - Katie Miller 
The interaction session ended with views and reflections from Nepal's teachers and  a group picture of the blog writing competition pupils, teachers and the visitors. Some pictures and videos follow:
