TEACHERS from four European schools visited York as part of a project to develop literacy.
The Comenius European project involves schools from Germany, France, the Netherlands and Poland as well as St Lawrence's Primary School in York.
The aim of the project is to use European tales to develop literacy in each of the schools.
The schools have made books based on Snow White which were then sent to other schools to be used in lessons.
A spokesperson for St Lawrence's said: "As well as stimulating literacy it was interesting to see the different art and design methods used to make the books in each country."
During the visit to York the teachers talked to pupils about their schools and were given an overview of primary school teaching in England. The project was set up in autumn 2002 and is funded by the European Union. Teachers from St Lawrence's have spent time in Holland and in June they will be going to Poland.
