This week we had the first practice week. I am in a school in Over Jerstal, along with Manu.
We have a very nice mentor in the school, Karin. She guides us and we also follow some lessons with her.
The most of the lessons we just have to observe, but already this week on Wednesday we had to give 2 French lessons. We have a really nice class. It are 5 pupils and they are really motivated to learn French. We tried to give them of every skill a little bit. We spoke, listened and wrote.
On Thursday and Friday I had some interesting conversations.
We (Manu and me) think that the level of discipline in Denmark could be better. We also talk a lot about this issue with other teachters. I always say that the accomodation in Denmark is excellent compared to Belgium. But the pupils could be listening better. When I tell that in Belgium we have something like school rules, teachers are often surprised. Ok, I admit that we have maybe to many rules, but sometimes I think there are to less "rules" in Denmark. There are no consequences for behaviour that sometimes needs consequences.
But I am going to try to learn more about this topic in the next 2 weeks!

Visits!
During the Easter weekend I got a visit from a friend, Frederick. He arrived Friday Evening.
After a dinner we went to town. First we visited Jesper, and then we went to town. I showed him Ras and Craizy Daisy. After a nice night we went home.
On Saturday we went to the beach. By car. And we went on the beach. Also by car. We went to Romo. It was a very good trip. We drove up the sand hills and on the sand for about 3 hours! You can see the pictures in the section "Frederick in Denmark".
After our drive on the beach we went to Ribe to eat something. We also took a little walk in the old city center.
In the evening we had a birthday party with Iva, Sylvie, Thora, Kate, Ota, Frederick and myself. We played some games, solved some riddles, drank some wine and had a lot of fun!
On Sunday we could let the child go! We went to Legoland. Despite it was could, Frederick went in short trousers like you can see on the pictures. We visited the Lego Studios, Pirate Island, Cowboy Town and also the Power Builder. It turns and twists you up and down. Very nice!
In the evening we went to see ice Hockey. Vojens won the match with 4 - 2. It was really exciting and a though game.
On Monday we slept until we were awake. In the afternoon we went bowling and in the evening we went to the football match against Vejle. Despite the loss it was a interesting game.
So, twas wat the weekend!
Mojn,
Tim
