Cooking class and my lesson

Well, I was late for my cooking class anyway. They started one hour earlier and no one told me.
It was a different teacher than my first schedule and also another class (7B). I also have this class for English so they thought it would be easier for them and for me to talk English and so.

The pupils were making Mexican food. So it's not always Danish food, but actually more international. They were making tortilla's and different kinds of sauces.
When I came in, one pupil immediately came to say hello and asked me if I was joining them for cooking. I also helped them. I had to make the fruit salad. It was really fun and the pupils really helped me because I had to follow the recipe but that was ofcourse in Danish.
When they are finished making the meal, they also can eat it themselves.
Suddenly I was also invited at a table and they had made an extra tortilla for me. That was so nice of them !!

On Friday I had to teach the 7th grade (7B) myself. It was the lesson about carnival. I had made a powerpoint with some general information. A bundle with the information and with their activity. After the powerpoint they had to start with the activity.
Their activity is actually a group work. The class is divided in 3 groups. They have to make their own carnival parade through Haderslev.
Team 1 is in charge of the route through the city and an event in the city.
Team 2 is in charge for the decorations of the street and the clothing for the people on the float.
Team 3 is in charge of the Sct. Severin Skole- float.

I'm excited what the result will be.

At the end of the lesson, I didn't feel that it all went smoothly, the way it should have gone. The pupils have some difficulties thinking (in) and speaking English. And also when they write down ideas, it's in Danish. I had to tell them a few times, to speak and write English.
I also had the feeling that they didn't really understand what they had to do.
After the lesson, I talked with the teacher about this. He said that it went just fine ! I was a little bit surprised but it really made me feel better. I think I just have to get used to their way of working and so on.

In the evening I went to the Fastelavn party of the university-college together with the Erasmus students. I was dressed up as Heidi (Aus Tirol) but I had a lot of fun.

Saturday I just stayed home and on Sunday I went to the gymnastics show of the 2 smallest children here in house. It was really nice to see. I also saw the show of a school. This school is specialised in this sort of gymnastics and it was really cool to see.
In the afternoon we played outside. The sun was shining and it was so much fun. So nice weather, not too cold and really enjoyable if you were standing in the sun. We made a snowman with the last snow/ice.
