De unges kommunestyre (DUK)

The students had a really good time yesterday at the DUK. They all took ownership of their tasks today, both preparing the stand, presenting to De unges kommunestyre (DUK), negotiating, and voting. As always, the schools in our zone are Drengsrud, Jansløkka, AIS, and Solvang ungdomsskole.

Our suggestions were not the ones with the most points, but one of them was still elected. Here's how that happened: The suggestion with the most points was Utekino (145 000 NOK), the second was improvement of stairs in Holmen (150 000 NOK). That left 5000 NOK left before reaching the total of 300 000 NOK, and since our suggestion with Leksekafé was the only one that low in price, it was elected.

Mr. Ole Anders organised a lovely outing for the middle years students yesterday. The students were out in the forest engaging in activities that were connected to approaches to learning. 

Students had to work together as a team, to collaborate and to communicate effectively to successfully complete the tasks set for them.

Some students produced a snowman with an uncanny resemblance to a certain political figure. 

It was a bit damp, but we managed to get a good fire going. 

Bring out the sausages and marshmallows!

Students kick back and enjoy a nice chat

There was a great interaction between the students and teachers
