International Week in a fairytale...

Tim in Haderslev land

Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Tim. He was a brave boy. He liked adventure, beer, women and football. After a while, Tim began to grow and grow and grow.

When Tim was very big, he decided to explore the world. So that is why he ended up in Haderslev, Denmark. Overthere he met some people:

The Evil Daniel, Princes Charlotte, Petit Manu, the one of the other bad part of the country and the three mermaids with their beautiful voices. And off course Jette, the Special One!

In the beginning everything went fine. From time to time, Evil Daniel tried to kidnap one of the three mermaids. But the brave Tim always managed to stop him.

So it became they ended up in "International Week Land". In International Week Land they met people from Austria, Germany, Portugal, Holland and Denmark. They tried to know each other and had a lot of fun!

On Monday, Tim met the 2 Portugese Bulldogs. They were very friendly, and one of them is staying at Jette's place. Tim also got in touch with Nice Marije from Holland, and a lot of other people. After the different body language games, Tim went home. You have to know, during the weekend is Tim a hero. So he had to wash his clothes because being a hero is also being dirty.

On Tuesday there was a lesson with stereotypes. Every group had to present a country in stereotypes. It went very good, and Tim was very happy that his beautiful country was represented in the right way!

In the afternoon, we went to Ribe. And despite being a hero, Tim couldn't change the bad weather. In Ribe we also visited a very beautiful Viking Museum.

In the evening, Tim decided to watch some football with José, one of the 2 Portugese Bulldogs.

On Wednesday there was sad news for Tim. The teacher's son where he had to do an observation with Petit Manu was ill so they couldn't go. In the afternoon they found out that the dancing teacher also was ill, so it was little bit an ill day for Tim.

On thursday there was an international afternoon where everybody came to share his experiences with the others. And in the evening there was an Eurosong Festival competition. Tim, Charlotte and Marije did all they could, but unfortunately the jury was bribed so they didn't make it to the finals. Or was it because the singing talents weren't that good....

On Friday we had to present our Portfolio and we had a little farewell lunch. Because this was already the end of the week!

The most important things that I learned this week:

- Not in every country you can shake hands and just kiss on the cheeck. In Denmark they have the culture to hug!
- In the schools of Denmark there is a lot of freedom for the pupils, but sometimes also a lack of discipline. Pupils in Denmark like to go to school, but sometimes they have to much freedom!
