1. Tour
Annette showed us the whole school. It was an old school with new buildings. When children arrive they can choose what they do: sitting in the class, playing in a hall, playing on the playground, reading on the computers,... In belgium they have to stay at the playground untill the bell rings and the teachers says that they can come in.
2. In the classroom
At 8.15 the pupils and the teacher are in the classroom and then it begins. They overflow the tasks of the day, the calender, the planning of today,... After the formal stuff we went to the artclass untill 9.45.
3. Art
The children made the week before statues from clay and now they painted them. We were sitting at the of the class. We couldn't help the teacher, we didn't understand the children,... so it was just sitting and taking pictures. At 9.30 we went back to the classroom and started the first break. The children were eating in the classrooms. This is another difference, we have a break at 10 and children eat at the playground.
What i did noticed and it's the same in Belgium: the children are being approached very positive. They get compliments all the time. I also do that for the wellbeing of the children.
4. Writing
After the break the pupils had to write the letter 'h'. I saw myself in this lesson. I gave almost exact the same lesson during my experience in November. The teacher made a big house and wrote the letter on the blackboard. The pupils practiced a litte bit and said all kind of words with 'h'. A creative lesson like I would have done it!
5. Maths
In this lesson I saw what I wanted to know about Danish lessons. Do they have differention in learning? Cause in Belgium, we do that a lot! And yes, they do it here to! There were 5 different things to do in the mathslesson! Some children were making tangrams, others were making figurs, other pupils played a maths game, others were building with specials cubes. And they learned by playing! That's the way it should be done!
