School visit to "Prendergast Junior" in Harverfordwest

in South West Wales
June 2005

We studied school culture in Wales:

  • To  keep up the  friendship  with Prendergast Junior school in relation to our Comenius project "Open the world" 2003 - 2006

  • To prepare pupils' meeting in Llangrannog June 2006

  • To improve our English

Tuesday the 21'st of June 2005

My collegue Ulla Kærsgaard from Hattingskolen DK. in Mr. Hammond's classroom

The pupils from Year 4 are training before the competitions

One of the relay competitions on the Sportsday

Another relay

Headmaster Pouls Hudge and staff had put up tents for the pupils to stay under during the hot and sunny day

It is difficult to move on and keep a tennis ball on a spoon, but it was great fun for the pupils and for all the spectators

Everyday training in the school yard. The pupils  walked ten times around and counted these Donald Duck's footprints

Normal 2 course dinner for the pupils on a Tuesday

Wednesday 22'nd of June 2005

Representatives for the winners of the sport's day are awarded in the assembly hall the day after by Poul Hudge

We listened with much joy to these skilful boys' music

Another group of pupils made an alternative concert with many funny sounds

Pupils in Year 4 are presenting their work in Power Point on our common topic "Water"  for their class mates and for us as guests  "Once upon a time"...
We brought materials from the Danish pupils about Hans Christian Anderson to the class. We  talked a lot about  him and the 200'th years celebration of his birth. The pupils knew a lot of his fairytales, and they wrote and drew about "Cloumsy Hans"/"Simple Johnny", which we brought home to our notice board in Hattingskolen, DK.

Mrs. Hammond and class are doing gymnastic

Another hot day after break in Prendergast Junior in June 2005

Each child had their own water bottle, and were able to fill it up with cold water from a machine!

Wednesday's hot meal

A Welsh prayer used in Year 4:

Help us to do the things we do
to be the others kind and good
in all we do and all we say
to grow more lovely every day.
