She loves Roald Dahl‘s stories, so she was inspired to chat about her favourite characters in a very friendly atmosphere. During the class they talked about the story-telling elements, characters and my daughter loved the teacher! It was great for her to have an opportunity to communicate with other children from different parts of the world. Now she wants more :) Thank you very much Kayleigh! -Ella V Sep 25, 2021 My son Akash enjoyed this series of classes with Ms Kayleigh Crouch very much. It gave him a lot of added perspective to the book since it was approached from a mixed learning angle. We liked how she used touch-points in the story to discuss geography, maths, language, art, film etc. She made classes fun and also relaxed, so my usually introverted child was encouraged to read, share and participate actively. We also liked the diverse mix of participants, children from different countries - Germany, Australia, Middle East, South Korea and Malaysia (us). It helped Akash see that kids from different places were different but not so different after all, as they enjoyed the same types of books and activities he did too. I would highly recommend these classes and we look forward to joining other classes with Ms. Kayleigh.
