EVERY DAY, STUDENTS START SCHOOL BY SINGING TOGETHER IN THE HALL.

EVERY DAY BEFORE SINGING THEY PRACTICED ONE MORE FRAGMENT OF THE SONG.

THIS MORNING THEY SANG THE WHOLE SONG. IT WAS SUPER EXCITING TO HEAR THEM.

INTRODUCING MYSELF TO 4th GRADERS THROUGH A GUESSING GAME.

SHOWING A VIDEO OF MY SCHOOL TO 4th GRADERS SHARING WITH THEM DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THEIR AND MY SCHOOL. 

AFTER THE BREAKFAST TIME BREAK, THAT IT IS AT 9:30, EXPLAINING SOME TRADITIONAL DISHES, ‘LA SARDANA’ OUR TYPICAL DANCE AND HUMAN TOWERS. 

SHOWING VIDEOS ABOUT OUR TYPICAL DISHES. ALTHOUGH SOME STUDENTS HAVE BEEN IN BARCELONA OR IN CANARY ISLANDS, THEY HAVE NEVER TASTED THE DISHES MENTIONED AND THEY FELT CURIOSITY ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CURED HAM SINCE THEY FOUND STRANGE TO HAVE A SERRANO LEG TO CUT AT HOME. 

AFTER A SHORT BREAK, SINCE THEY DID A 5 MINUTES BREAK EVERY 30 MINUTES OF CLASS, THEY CONTINUE WITH THEIR PROJECTS. THEY WORK IN PAIRS IN DIFFERENT CORNERS OF THE CLASS USING THE LAPTOPS TO SEARCH INFORMATION AND WRITING LIKE A PORTOLIO WHERE THEY EXPLAINED WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNT DURING UGANDA PROJECT.

THEIR PORTFOLIO IS LIKE A BOOK, STUDENTS HAVE WRITTEN THE INFORMATION THAT THEY WANTED TO REMEMBER ABOUT UGANDA AND THEY HAVE CHOSEN THOSE IMAGES THAT THEY FOUND MORE SIGNIFICANT FOR THEM.

SOME EXAMPLES OF THE STUDENT’S LUNCH at 11:30h. AS YOU CAN SEE THEY ONLY EAT A LITTLE FOR LUNCH TIME.

SPECIAL LUNCH IN FRONT THE TIÓ! THE LAST TANGERINES' PEELS.

I THINK THE TIÓ IS FULL ENOUGH AND MAYBE IT IS READY TO POOP.

MAYBE THE TIÓ IS FULL ENOUGH!

TEACHING THE SONG THAT WE ARE GOING TO SING WHEN WE HIT THE TIÓ. THEY LEARNED IT EASILY AND FASTER THAN I THOUGHT. THEY ONLY NEED PRACTISE IT THREE TIMES. 

IN GROUPS, STUDENTS FROM 0, 1st AND 2nd GRADERS HIT THE TIÓ WHILE WE WERE LISTENING TO THE SONG AND SINGING IT.

ONCE THE LAST GROUP FINISHED TO HIT IT THEY LIFTED THE BLANKET AND…SURPRISE!!! THE TIÓ HAS POPPED LOTS OF SWEETS. 

IT WAS EXCITING TO LIVE THE EMOTION OF THE DANISH CHILDREN WHEN THEY REALISED THAT TIÓ HAD GIVEN THEM A GIFT SUCH AND AS I HAD EXPLAINED SOME DAYS AGO.

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS IN DENMARK FOR ME!

PEACEFULLY, EACH STUDENT TOOK THE CANDIES AND I WENT TO VISIT THE REST OF THE CLASSROOMS TO GIVE TO THE OLDEST STUDENTS SWEETS FROM THE TIÓ TOO. THEY WERE REALLY HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THE TIÓ HAS FINALLY POPPED. 

• Environment is really important to calm down. The low light, the breaks every 30 minutes, the comfort of the spaces... they give the pupils peace of mind for this reason they are also calm with new and active activities such as: ‘The Tió’. 

• The importance of reflecting on what you have learned. If you want to help a student learn, ask him what he or she has been told or read.

• Sharing learning evidence, a final product, with peers and family.

• Children work in groups and are taught to challenge the established way of doing things.

• Keep calm. They use the word 'hygge' , which means taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures. Hygge reflects the values of Danish society: equality and well-being of everybody.

• The opportunity of starting a new eTwinning project and planning this project face-to-face.

EVERYDAY CROSSING TWICE THE FJORD BY BUS TO GO FROM AALBORG TO GRINDSTED. I TENDED TO SEE IT IN THE DARK BECAUSE I LEFT AND ARRIVED TO AALBORG AT NIGHT EVERY DAY.

BUT TODAY IT WAS SPECIAL, I HAD SOME FREE TIME, SO I COULD ARRIVE BEFORE GETTING DARK AND THAT'S WHAT I SAW AND LEARN:

AALBORG MEANS CITY ON THE STREAM BECAUSE IT IS LOCATED IN THE LIMFJORD INLET AND IT ALLOWS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BALTIC SEA AND THE NORTH SEA.
