Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have an entire school to yourself?

For one six-year-old in Italy, that's exactly what school looks like!

This week, Aysha started primary school on the tiny island of Stromboli - and she's the only pupil.

So, we want to hear from YOU. Would you like to be the only pupil at your school?

What would you do? Maybe you'd love having a teacher all to yourself? Or perhaps you'd miss having friends around to play with at break time?

Whatever your thoughts, let us know in the comments below..

Aysha's school is on the small island of Stromboli in southern Italy

Aysha's school is located in the village of Ginostra on the volcanic island of Stromboli.

Ginostra is a very small place, with around 40 people living in the car-free village, that can only be reached by boat.

A new school opened in Ginostra this week, after the old one had been closed for more than 20 years, so that Aysha could start school without having to leave her home village.

So, what would it be like to be the only pupil at your school?

Perhaps you'd love the peace and quiet in the classroom and playground and not having to queue for your lunch?

Maybe you'd enjoy getting to choose some of the games you play during the school day?

Or would you find it a bit lonely without classmates to chat and play with?
