WEEK 14

OUR SCHOOL PRACTICE

Monday

In the morning, however I had to say goodbye to my boyfriend. He had to go back to the Czech Republic. Then I went with Iva and Charlotte to the school for our practice. It is going to take almost 3 weeks. We will do our school practice at nice place- Kristne Friskole in Haderslev (see my favorite links) near our school. We met nice people there: Else Wive-she is English teacher in 3rd , 4th and 7th class and Ann-Mari Nielsen who is Danish and music teacher. We visited English lessons in 3th (first year of English) and 7th class. We planned our teaching and what we would like to teach. We decided to teach subject matter: London in 7th class.

English in 3rd class: singing a song (animals and colors), playing with the puppet Sophie (introduction), learning new words about houses using pictures of houses (chimney, windows, door, roof and so on) guessing and describing their house (My house is…, My house has…) , creating own model of house (painting, cutting and glueing)

English in 7th class: beginning of reading project: choosing book, reading and writing report about it (individually and silently). Books for choice: Mr. Jealous, Smile, Please, Robinson Crusoe, Fly away

In the afternoon and in the evening I worked on my thesis.

Tuesday

We visited music and English lesson in the 3rd class. The music classroom was huge and well equipped and I think it is very good for children.

Music in 3rd class: singing songs, dancing in pairs and groups (polonaise, line dance)

Danish in 3th class: reading book (Efterskoletid) with article about hobbies, talking about pupil’s hobbies (special story chair for it, the other children sit on the floor and listen), writing their hobbies on the blackboard and working with computers (laptops)!!

Wednesday

In the evening we left to Friday café where was ugly party. Manu participated in one funny contest who can finish cake and beer as soon as possible. Unfortunately he didn´t win but it was really enjoyable to watch. After that the best mask was announced. And another contests followed, beer like etc. We had a nice time there.
