Track 1 .9.

Hi there. Today, I'm with Mr. Die.

He is the head teacher at a primary school in Cornwall.

Hello and welcome to our program, Mr. Die.

Good morning, and welcome to our school.

Mr. Die, you have an interesting story about your school.

You have a double -decker bus at your school.

Oh, yes.

So, can you tell us the story of this bus, please?

Well, this is a school bus, but not for carrying students to and from school.

It is the school itself.

We needed extra teaching space five years ago.

We needed a science lab and a design technology lab.

We wanted to make an extension to our present school building,

but we couldn't find 15 ,000 pounds.

It was a lot of money, so I decided to pay 3 ,500 pounds and buy this bus.

What are the advantages of using a bus for extra classrooms at school?

It costs a lot less.

It is a creative, inspiring, and an unusual learning environment for students.

Our science lab is on the top, and design technology is on the bottom floor.

The students like it a lot.

Great. Thank you very much, Mr. Die.
