Hello,

Today we went to the primary school in Alken to observe the children and to do a little presentation.

Observation
I am in a group with Eva, Sofia, Maria and Marian. We are in class 5A.
The first thing i did when we got in the class, was to explain a little bit more about who we are and what we are going to do. The children were very enthousiastic about this.
After this, Eva and Sofia sang a Greek song to start the day with the children. We all liked it a lot.
Tour around the school
After the first break, we got the opportunity to get a tour in and around this beautifull school. The teacher of my class gave us a lot of interesting information.


The children of my class were having a lesson about cycling-skills.

Here you see a place where children can sit and play during the break. Teachers also give lessons in this hole and the principal speeks sometimes to all the children in there.


This is a little garden that the children maintain. The plants have name cards so that the children can learn them.



Here you see a little vegetable garden that the children also maintain. When the vegetables are ready, they make soup with them.
On the next picture you see that this school attach importance to sorting of garbage.

The children in pre- school were making and eating popcorn.

Here you see some pictures of all the things that are in this school where they can play with:

Presentation of different countries:
In the afternoon we had a presentation of different countries. The children of the 5th and 6th class came to watch this.

Me, Lore and Sofie were playing tourists who were visiting 5 different countries. When we came in a country, the students of that country did some activities.

Here are some pictures of it:




The students did a great job. The children enjoyed their performance and were motivated to work around a country.
In the classrooms the children could pick a country out of a sack with little letters. They now knew around which country they were going to work.

But that is for next week!

See you!
