Portugal Outdoor Leadership March 23





















Last day of the week we stayed at
Cacais a city west of Lisbon.



Goal:
Reflections in the new groups, risk-taking,
summary of the week.  City Park as a stage.



 What we did:
 Grouping  so that we are working with similar age groups
 came together. Very rewarding  reflections in these groups.



Theater

















Every day was played by the various groups.
Totally crazy and fun.




Risk taking





















Tove illustrated with good examples thoughts
on how we can reason about risk taking.
We should collectively think about cycling,
canoeing and cooking over an open fire.




Summary of the week





















Dusan did with our help, a good summary of the past week.





Tove's poem and course certificates were given to us.






























Even now, as every morning Tove read a poem for us.
Margrit then shared out course certificates to all of us
and Dusan played and everyone sang.




Learned today:
City Park in Cacais works well as classroom.
Risk-taking how we prepare an outdoor activity
This week has given me so much from so
many great teachers from across Europe.

In some days comes one more text about the course.

Universitetsadjunkter utvecklar Mattelabbet/ Lecturers develops Math Lab


Mål/ Goal : Skalbegerpp/ scaling term
I går utvecklade universitetsadjunkter från
Linnè universitetet tankar kring Mattelabbet.
Yesterday, developed lecturers from
Linnaeus University thoughts on Math Lab.


Utförande/ How we dit it:
















Det tjocka röda repet lades ut till en kvadrat på 10 x 10 meter.
The thick red rope was placed into a square of 10 x 10 meters.




















Därefter byggdes utanför den stora rutan 1 m2 med 1 pinnar.
I denna kvadrat placerades en ”guldskatt”
Vi pratade nu om skala 1:10.
Then they built outside the big square a 1 m2  square with pins.
In this square was placed a "gold treasure"
We are talking now about 1:10 scale


































Därefter uppskattade lärarna var i den stora rutan
”guldskatten” skulle placeras.
Then estimated the teachers were in the big square 
"gold treasure" would be placed.
















En 1 meters pinne graderad i dm fick sedan användas
för att kontrollera om ”guldskatten” hämnat rätt.
A 1-meter stick graduated in dm was then used
to check the "gold treasure"  avenged right.



















































Kan ”guldskatten” preciseras bättre med kvadrater
märkta a,b, c, och så vidare och med kvadrater märkta
1, 2, 3 och så vidare i kombination med plankor 5 m
långa och upp märkta varje meter.
Can the "gold treasure" be better defined with
squares marked a, b​​, c, and so on and with
squares labeled 1, 2, 3 and so on, combined with
planks 5 m long and up marked every meter.



Resultat/ Results :
Övningen leder vidare kring tankar för koordinater,
kartblad och ekvationer och visar på Movium Mattelabbs
flexibilitet med enkelt och billigt material.
The exercise leads around the thoughts of coordinates,
map sheets and equations and shows Movium Math Labbs 
flexibility with simple and inexpensive materials.





















9 nya Mattelabb byggs upp i Malmö nu i vår.
9 new Math Lab builds up in south Sweden in the town
of Malmö near Copenhagen this spring.

Portugal Outdoor Leadership March 22

Blogginläggen från Portugal är på engelska
som led i att sprida kunskap om Comenius kurser
till pedagoger från Europa som besöker bloggen
ch till kursdeltagarna på kursen.
















Every morning before "Melona" we had a time for some
sun in the enclosed courtyard at the hotel.



Goal:
Leadership behavior, reflections

What made​​:
How shall a good leader behave








































Dussan showed with Britta clear good and bad examples
of ways to behave as a leader in different situations.



 Cabo da Rocha
















Europe's western most point of land was the beginning
of an afternoon of reflection character.  
























 
We walked back towards Muchaxo hotel
and had time to reflect, debate over the past week.























Portuguese delicacies















Served in the garden before we went down to Cacais.

























The hotel owner welcomed us back to Muchaxo
and we got was her bottle Guincho sand.


Learned today:
How to behave us a leader and another good day for networking

Portugal Outdoor Leadership March 21

Blogginläggen från Portugal är på engelska
som ett led i att sprida kunskap om Commenius kurser
till pedagoger från Europa som besöker bloggen
och till kursdeltagare från Portugal.


Goal:
School visits, group practice in La Pena

What made​​:
School visits
Split into groups, we visited the Nature school only one
in Portugal in La Pena forest and school in Sintra.
In the Nature School, we helped to mend fences.
Visitors always helps out with various jobs so that
Nature School can live on. Fire danger is high in
Portugal therefore helps visitors often by picking sticks.


















The school visit learned us why in south Europe here
is so little green on the school yards, water shortages
and therefore such a lot of concrete.



















We were greeted by a warmth from the teachers and students.
Interested high school students talked about their plans
and were good, happy to speak English.



















But still there was a schoolgarden with vetgetables.




















Met math teacher, who was interested in Movium Math Lab
as well as teachers from the Comenius course. I will  send
both of them them all a folder on Matt lab printed in English.
For those with their asphalt surfaces, the Math Lab can be
useful for them, both in the playground and in the city.



Group exercises
Brittas beaver song in the forest La Pena, resulting in truly
amazing group exercises. We got 1 m rope and would do
anything that had to do with beavers.












































































The beavers managed to fell a tree "Kalle".
What a sight to see Kalle take action.



 Lookout point































 By forest like a church in La Pena, we walked to an old ruin with
 wind strange sight against Muchaxo our hotel and Guincho beach.
 Britta, as usual actor served "champagne" to all of us up there.


Elevators talk
went on from the previous day. Resulted in even more important networking.

Learned today:
Schoolyards understand why it is difficult to have more green
and why it is needed as much asphalt.



Networking the importance of constantly created space for this.
For us at the course to get too know each other better to help
the schools of Europe to develope.


I will be back another day with more abour the course.
