Hjallerup Folkskole

On Tuesday I visited Hjallerup Folkskole with Lone, had dinner with the team and all of the wonderful hosts at President Henrik and Kirsten's place and then next morning had to farewell Heinrich, Asger, Peter and Lone to make our way to Års.    One of the fabulous  features of the school was the before and after school facility which was like a warm and comfortable home, complete with indoor and outdoor games, on-site baking, quite areas, a loft, dress-ups, craft, etc. etc. and lots of room.  The majority of children actually attend this site.  I enjoyed also talking to the children in one of Lone's classes and they tried (and easily succeeded) to test me with a famous Danish tongue twister - Rødgrød med fløde.  I paid them back with "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers". Lone's commitment to her pupils and her family was outstanding and this made me a  little sad to leave.  I hope that we can keep in touch.  A few photos including some of the wall and floor charts follow.
