From the 5th of February to the 9th of February we hosted Herr Kai-Uwe Zillmer from Walsrode, Germany as part of the exchange ‘Host a teacher’ organised by UK German Connections.
Mr. Zillmer is a primary school teacher who teaches German, English, P.E. and general education. He also manages the school’s English department, organised the Reading Week for all ages, developed the school’s board game concept, and organised the HLS football tournament.
This was a great opportunity for professional development for staff at New City, as teachers did some team-teach, gained insight into the German education system, discussed educational issues and were able to reflect on current practice.
