A traditional december-celebration at Fäladsgården.

Hauptschule West visiting Lund

Very welcome to Lund and Fäladsgården.

We are glad that you have come to us in Lund. We really enjoyed our days in Neumarkt and hope that we now can offer you days, which are as good, if possible, as those days you organised for us.

The exchanges are very important for us and we think that a student today ought to paticipate in a European exchange. In the future I´m sure that you will work either in a foreign European country or together with European colleagues. Because of that, working in the Comenius project is very important as a part of your education.

This is not only an education in different subjects. It is also an education in social culture. You will learn how we live at home in our families, what we do at school, and in our free time in the afternoons and in the evenings. I hope that you will all find Sweden and especially Lund a friendly and welcoming country and town.

When you came to your host family yesterday evening, what did you find most different if you compare to your own family. Was it us going around in the house without shoes? Different furniture? I don´t know! Only you know and I am convinced that you can talk to your host-friend about the differences and similarities that you will find in our ways of living.

In order to give you the opportunity to get to know our school we have arranged a program for you that we hope that you will enjoy and find interesting. The program is a mix between lessons at school and excursions. The lessons we have chosen for you are music, woodcraft, German and some dance. About the excursions you will go to the centre of Lund. You will visit our famous museum and the big dome. On Thursday you will have the chance to know the surroundings and the southern region of Sweden, Scania all day on a bus-tour. All days you will have your lunch here in the canteen at our school except for Thursday when your host family will give you a lunch package.

But, the most important this week is that you have fun with your Swedish friends and enjoy Lund. To enjoy Lund you need some information of Lund, and here it is. Information, a map and a small gift from Lund.

Now half of you will please follow Amanda and David and the other half will follow Mariam and Kattis when they show you our school.

Once again: very welcome to Lund and to our school Fäladsgården.

LOGO

The one of the pupils' logos that we finally chose was drawn by

Alexander Ekengren.

"A colurful image full of life that in a very good way describes the objectives of a Comenius project; that we all in Europe united come together in joyful ride into the future."

Comeniuscorner

Now, the first part of the comeniuscorner is ready on Fäladsgården. All the towns are presentated in front of our library in the entrance of the school. This part is done by 8c.

Next part is to present the regions around the towns. 8d is working on that part.

Soon ready!

Hello from 8c, Fäladsgården, Lund

We’re the 8c from Fäladsgården in Lund, Sweden. We are 23 students in our class, 17 girls and 7 boys. We’re about 400 students on the whole school! Here we have a basketball field, a computer room, a diner, many classrooms and we also have a sportcentre.

Lund isn’t that big of a city, but you can do a lot here anyway. On the winter you can for example go ice-skating, go to the swimminghall, go bowling or go to the movie theatre. Now, when it’s so much snow up here it’s also perfect weather to go playing on the St Hans Backar. It’s a big surrounding with many large hills. When it gets a little warmer you can also visit the parks around here or go to the Kulturen which is a big and beautyful museum.

Here in Sweden it snows all over the country and have done it since two months back. Sometimes it feels like you are getting really tired of it, because it never stops, but hopefully it will become a little warmer soon.

Greetings from 8c!
