Taimon Koulu Primary School is located in
Nanntali, a beautiful town surrounded by amazing
nature. There are huge sports grounds around

the school and some students were playing
baseball when we arrived. The students were
playing enthusiastically although they were not
very skillful. We were told that the main aim of

PE lessons is that nobody is ranked by ability,
only by their attitude to learning. Thus students
feel comfortable and learn autonomy. We gained
firsthand experience of the concepts of “learn from

playing” and “play is the highest form of research”
that Finland is advocating and implementing in its
education system.

The principal welcomed us and presented the
school’s key policies to us. Their “No Bullying” policy
impressed us most as the school carries out surveys
twice a year to investigate and stop any bullying and

also ensure that the students enjoy their school life.
Another policy covers teaching technical IT skills and
how students can make good use of them in daily life.
The school arranged for some students to show us

their assignments on iPads. They also helped us make
our own pieces of work by using some apps. It was
easy and an interesting experience.

The teachers and students were especially
friendly to us and we were even invited to observe
and take part in a science lesson. The students had
been assigned to present information they had found

in the forests near their homes or on the internet
relating to the topics they were learning in science
lessons.
