The second meeting in Denmark.


From 2nd to 9th February  6 students from 2nd ESO and 2 teachers from CCE Virgen del Pasico, Torre-Pacheco, took part in the second meeting of our Erasmus+ project in Kjellerup skole, Kjellerup, Denmark. These are the students views of their  Danish experience:


My experience in the Erasmus Project has been very important because I have met a lot of people and I have learned about another culture, another way of life. I have visited many places in another country and I have really enjoyed seeing how I could learn many things in a week living in another country, but they were not maths or Spanish language and literature, they were things of life because as I said in one of the activities of Lego,it is that a future is built by studying but above all day by day, enjoying these little things and of course living each day to the maximum.
This is what I have taken from the Erasmus meeting.

Las tweek I was in Denmark in an exchange organized by the Erasmus+ project. I went with five classmates, María, Paula, David, Juanjo and Natalia; and with two teachers, Mrs Marife and Mrs Eva. We arrived on Friday the 2nd and we came back on Friday the 9th, we were there for a week.

When we arrived we were all very nervous and excited. The first days were a bit long, but every day that was going on it was better and the last day I didn´t want to go home, the time had passed very fast. I would like to spend a few more days there to spend more time with Matilde and get to know her better.
We did some really fun things like bowling, having dinner with everyone at McDonalds, going shopping in Silkeborg, seeing a frozen lake and many more things.

We laugh a lot, there are moments that I will never forget.
Besides learning English, I have also learned many positive things.
It has been a very nice experience that I won't forget.

In my opinion this experience was very good and interesting. It was very good because I had a very nice partner, he was very funny and friendly. Also, the project was very good, I think the Lego´s game was interesting and original and the trip to Silkeborg was good because we could see the frozen lakes, they were very nice.

I think the Erasmus project is a very good idea to practice English because it was the only way that you could communicate with other people.

My experience in Denmark has been fun, beautiful and very short. I have met many very nice people, new customs, new places and new foods. I was very comfortable with the family I was with and they behaved very well with me. I learned a lot of English and I think that is the most important thing. It has been an experience that I would repeat and I loved all the food, the places, the people ...

Our trip started at three o’clock a.m. We arrived in Denmark at twelve o’clock. We went to have lunch with our girls. In Denmark, we went shopping in Silkeborg, and we saw the snow in Kjellerup. With this experience I learnt a lot of things, for example, speaking English with other people, living in another house… I will never forget this experience and the beautiful people in Kjellerup.

My experience in Denmark was very good, I loved it very much. There I met a lot of people and all those people were very friendly. What I liked the least about the trip was playing with lego, because I had never had one and for me it was very difficult. Their school was quite different from ours, theirs was bigger, they didn't have any fence, you could go outside the school at breaks, they left most of the bicycles unlocked, they had a swimming pool and several classrooms dedicated to each subject, two sport pavilions, four music rooms.... The doors of the houses were left them open, which means that there were very few thieves in that area and the whole floor was very clean and when you entered a house you had to take off your shoes. What I liked the most about it were the people I was with and the snow (it was very cold) and I want to repeat the trip.

The Danish mobility from a Danish perspective

In the period from February the 2nd until February the 8th Trekløverskolen in Kjellerup, Denmark hosted the first mobility in the Erasmus-project – Master. Metacognitive Thinking Activities and Strategies for Teaching and Educational Results. Prior to the week a lot of different planning had taken place. The theme for this first mobility was to set Life Goals. In Denmark, we were positive surprised by the fact that many students wanted to participate in the project. We held a parents and students meeting where we introduced the project.  After that meeting we started putting host and students together. The students made their first contact, and before the arrival on the 2nd everyone had had their first contact. Finally, after a lot of preparation and excitement it was the 2nd of February. The groups from the different countries arrived to Kjellerup at different times. The Spanish group and the Finnish group arrived nearly at the same time to the airport in Billund. Th

DESCRIPTION

  The idea of this project was born when we tried to improve students’ learning. In all our schools we noticed that a large fraction of our students regardless of background, lacked confidence in their own academic performance, had problem to focus their attention and gave up as soon as some resistance occurred and therefore had very limited academic success. We wanted to find a way to teach our students to overcome these obstacles. Pedagogical research has shown that the highest impact factor on school learning is the quality of the teacher and what the teacher does in the classroom (these factors having much higher impact than variables such as class size, homework, etc). Furthermore here is strong evidence that great teachers are made not born; this means there  is great scope for improving learning by adopting the most effective classroom techniques. The US Education Endowment Foundation in reviewing empirical studies found that feedback from teachers to students and metac
