“Lessons were pretty well organised and engaging, I learnt a lot, I was given a lot of attention by the teachers.”
“I did not like the idea of collecting the phones during the lesons, the food in school was not appealing to me - a bit bland, and the time of finishing afternoon activities - it was a bit late and I felt quite exhausted.”
