Influence of Comenius-Regio

• We organized a meeting for the staff of both schools and asked them for ideas for the project.

• The following ideas have already been carried out:

Plans for the future

A visit from each grade in Varmahlíðarskóli to Birkilundur is to have a purpose:

• 1st grade attends a pyjama dance with the oldest group in Birkilundur.

• 7th grade reads for all children in Birklundur in small groups.

• The aim is that 6th grade organize a period with board-games with the play school children.

• Organized visits with 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades have yet to be decided.

Other ideas worth considering:

• A mutual celebration/fest for the staff of both schools.

• Continuing communications with the schools in Odense once the project is finished.
