Kost og Motion -- Nutrition and Exercise, tirsdag 24. aug by Robin
When I started school, I quickly heard that the reason school started late on Tuesdays and Thursdays was because the Nutrition and Exercise [literally Food and Motion] teacher had not arrived yet. I was curious, and soon found out that this class was where one went to school at 7.30 in athletic clothes without eating breakfast, exercised for half an hour, ate a school breakfast [dry oats, milk/substitute from home, half a banana, raisins], and then showered and changed. Unfortunately, everyone was behind schedule today, so the 6th grade girls and a mixed sex second-grade class had to change in the same room, which was rather awkward. Other than that, things went rather well. Yesterday, I had special dansk lessons, in which I learned about hverdag [everyday life] for the familien Jensen [Jensen (most common surname) family]. All in all, things are going well. More later!

Hi Robin!
ReplyDeleteYour entry reminded me of Xandie's experience in Germany where the girls had to change together for swimming in the locker room; all the European kids were fine with it, but it took Xandie awhile to adjust. At her new school, they don't change for sports; I imagine that's because it's a K-8 primary.
Do the students in your class ask you questions about California? Did your dansk lesson happen during school time? It all sounds so interesting.
ReplyDeleteRobin,
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying your descriptions of life in Denmark! School seems a very different proposition there. I will be interested to learn your preference- school here or school there- as time goes on.
Keep up the great posts.
