During our lessons we use a lot of technologies and devices. Last year we made a presentation video of our school and you can watch it above. This year student's have also used many times their own mobile phones to find knowledge and also we have took part in two video competition. You can watch our videos on YouTube on channel called Metsokankaankoulu. Unfortunately our movies are in Finnish.
Students of Classes 4C and 4D have also took photos of our school. You see them above. From the student's point of view the best things in our school are colours, PE class, light, ceiling art and the nice atmosphere.
