Njammie...

Last week (already week 8!) we started with a cooking lesson. Njammie! One of the most tastefull lessons! Everybody cooked very nice things. I prepared typical Danish food, but of course also Belgian food, what everbody seems to like! Baked apples with sugar, a very good dessert! I even had to promise to Maté and Noémi that I would make it again for them. But of course, I want something in return! Haha! We started eating around 11.30 and we ate our thummy's round and round and round until we couldn't eat any more! And the meals that caused all this are:

- bulgur from Turkey.

- bramborové placičky flrom Czech Republic.

- goulash soup and poppy seed cake from Hungary.

- dumplings and cheese cake from Poland.

- omelet from Spain.

- frikadeller from Denmark.

- baked apples with sugar from Belgium.

A colorfull lesson!

Yesterday we had a very special lesson about language and identity. In the beginning she told us what she had planned. I wanted to run away. Coloring with crayons to think about language, making a poem,... that's nothing for me. I thougt... but at the end I have to say I liked the lesson. We started to make a language portrait. You can see it in the picture. I have some explaining to do here.

Yellow: Dutch

This is my mother tongue, that's why I putted it close to my heart. But it's also over whole my body because I don't need to think about what I'm gonna say, how I am gonna say it,...

Blue: English

The English is in my brain. I'm always thinking how I'm gonna say things, what's the word for something.

Green: French

The French part has the same size as the English part because I learned French for a long time. I can understand, speak an writh French but again, I really need to think how to express myself in French.

Dark green: German

In my hands is the German language. I don't speak but I can understand it. I have to use my hands to express myself.

Brown: Danish

The Danish language is in my feet. I'm learning it step by step.

Reflection about this task:

- I was suprised that everyone knows more then 3 languages. I also learned a few new languages like some 'gipsylanguages'. I didn't knew that it existed.

- I don't know if I will use it because children in our primary schools know only one language. When they are 11 years old they learn French. But in the last two years of primary school it's a good instrument for evaluation. You can let the children color their languages and how think about it. So the teacher can see how they're feelings are towards the languages.

After this task we had to make a poem. An 'eleven word' poem. Better known as 'een elfje'.
