On Wednesday 11th we visited Favrdalskolen together with Bodil, our Special Needs teacher. At first we had some difficulties with geting up and finding the right building but we made it in the end:-)
The school consists of many huge buildings and it reminded me of a maze. I wonder how pupils can find their way there.:-)
We were guided by the headmaster himself, who was very nice, friendly and informal. In the Czech Republic headmasters are usually very formal and they also wear suits.
The school was nicely decorated with pictures, paintings and drawings. All teachers we met were very nice and most of them were really young.
We were lucky to see an excerpt from a children's performance and we also saw2 blind children (a girl and a boy) being engaged into normal classes.
We also visited a class taught by an English native speaker named Tim. He told us that he usually teaches one class for all day and next day they have another teacher.
Tim showed us what he did with children. It was a magical calculator - 7 sticks covered with numbers that enable you to multiply. Incredible.
The school is very modern, though built about 25 years ago. There are many computer labs, a library, a big gym and a theatre hall. They have special classrooms for cooking lessons and for woodcrafting, too.
To sum up: The atmosphere in the school was really relaxed and we all liked it a lot. One visit to a school is 10 times better than one day spent at university.
