As you can see, we have had a brilliant time shopping! Parents, you will have to wait until tomorrow to see what goodies the children have bought! 🛍

Today we explored Vejle. We travelled by train and visited the local parks and museums!

To connect with nature this week yesterday Year 5 went on a nature walk around our local community🌲🌻 the children described their feelings after the walk as feeling ‘peaceful’, ‘calm’ and ‘at one with nature’🍂🐞

We are all in awe of this beautiful country that we are lucky enough to be exploring! ❤️🇩🇰

[Oaky Denmark @OakyDenmark]

We ❤️ Denmark! 🇩🇰

Today we have had the most wonderful day visiting the beach in Fredericia! The children have enjoyed dipping their toes in the sea, skimming stones and searching for creatures in rock pools!

Learning in a very different kind of 'classroom' for these @Oakwood_Avenue pupils, who are currently in #Denmark 🇩🇰 on a trip supported by the #TuringScheme.

Today we have learnt about what Ascension Day is and how it is celebrated in Denmark, we have continued with our art, litter picked around our school community and eaten s’mores in forest school! What a day!

Yesterday our school based children connected with nature on a long walk through The Twiggeries and Paddington Meadows. When we got back, we created artwork based on what we saw.

Thank you to our Danish friends for introducing us to Snobrod (Danish bonfire bread)!

The definition of a perfect day! @TuringScheme_UK

Today we visited the local beach where the children absolutely loved exploring and collecting shells! They were also fascinated by the flotsam! 🦀 🌊

[Oaky Denmark @OakyDenmark]

Just some of the many heartwarming Danish/ English friendships made throughout this week! ❤️

[Oaky Denmark @OakyDenmark]

The children based in school today have had a jam-packed day! We have cleared and planted in forest school, made some danish biscuits, took part in a “keep fit and mindfulness” session all before rounding our day off by sharing traditional tales with Year 1!

The moment we connected with Oakwood from Denmark 💚
It was wonderful for both groups to share what they have been up to this week!

[Oaky Denmark @OakyDenmark]

We were lucky enough to meet Tor, a student from school who is an expert in all things Viking! Tor showed us some of his amazing equipment, which he uses during Viking battle re-enactments! @TuringScheme_UK

Today the children have been in mixed Denmark/ English groups, working collaboratively to learn more about each other’s language! We our so proud of everyone for stepping out of their comfort zones 👏

Today we are visiting Faelleshabsskolen School in our Oakwood School uniforms! This is very exciting as in Denmark, the children do not wear their uniforms. 🇩🇰💚

[Oaky Denmark @OakyDenmark]

We also had the pleasure of using the sewing machines to create our own key rings and cushions, plus a new hat for Oaky! @TuringScheme_UK
