I torsdags åkte niorna till Stockholm och Naturhistoriska. De tittade på utställningar men först gick de på Cosmonova där de fick se en film och jorden och rymden.
– Det var coolt med tanke på salongen som är som en kupol. Man får sitta och vrida huvudet för att hänga med och se allt, säger Emilia Norragård.
– Ja, vi satt längst bak så man kunde se allt, säger klasskompisen Agnes Ringvall.
Efter filmen gick de runt och tittade på missbildade djur och andra konstiga saker, säger Emilia.
– Vi gick in i ett flumrum där man fick göra sitt eget moln.
– Ja, det var en stor behållare med en metallbricka och en gummiring. Vattenångan inuti bildade ett moln när man tryckte på ringen, fyller Agnes i.
Niorna åker varje år till Stockholm på studieresa.
This was my forth year at Guteskolan and we decided to have a drama group at “elevensval”. I don’t remember exactly how many were with us, but we were about ten people. We decided to do a play to show the other students. It was about a girl who was bullied and it ended happily. But the most interesting part of the whole project and the successfulness is that they all cooperated very good and they really did some hard work. It was also very nice to see the students develop. Some of them were shy in the beginning and in the end they were performing on the stage in front of all the other students. I was so happy to see that, and to see the development from where we were in the beginning and to how it was in the end. They really did take great responsibility for the whole project. I was very proud and lucky when they did the performance.
In the teachers office there is something I call hotbunking. and that’s a word that comes from submarines, usually because in submarines you don’t have so many beds so you sleep in shifts. At all time there is someone sleeping in the bed so that’s why it’s called hotbunking, the bed is always warm. Now we have kind off this situation that we don’t have enough desks to sit and work on, that means that whenever a teacher come in and need to work, they just borrow someone else’s desk and sit there and work. So I kind of developed this nice strategy, that I always have a lot of paper and things on my desk, so it seems like I am really occupied and disorganized so no one will actually take my desk and sit and work there. So I call that hotbunking and I think that is kind of special for Guteskolan I haven’t seen that anywhere else.
When i was 21 years old i was in Canada and worked on a farm. I was there for seven months.
It was in the early summer, I didn’t know what to do so me and my friend decided to travel to the Philippines training camp. The next day we booked the flight and travelled the same day to Manilla. Then we travelled from Manilla to an island called Boracay. There was the training camp. We arrived at the training camp at around 5 in the afternoon. We unpacked our bags and training clothes. The same day my friend started training at 6 o’clock in the evening on the last day of the training camp. We trained 3-4 sessions per day six days per week for 3 weeks and then we travelled back to Sweden. It was an interesting and spontaneous journey.
One of my greatest memories from Guteskolan was when we arranged a disco during my first year here, it was a Halloween disco. My students were ninth graders and they arranged the disco for the younger kids, first or second graders, who were supposed to dress up. They came to the disco all excited and dressed up as witches and ghosts and things like that. But the best part was that my students, the ninth graders, were so excited. They had prepared for weeks, they fixed everything so beautifully. The disco took place in “blå hallen” and the students were also well dressed up and had organized the disco well, the ninth graders were just as excited and happy as the children and they would even dance with the younger kids. It was just such a successful evening in the sense that everyone was happy. The evening turned out better than we ever expected.
I will tell you about how I become a teacher. I was at your age in the 9th grade. I had an intern in the kinder garden and then I realized that I want to work with children. In the 9th grade you have to choose a high school program. Youth and children program was maybe the clear choice but I always think one more time before I choose something, so I choose Sience program in case if I would change my mind. But I didn’t and was happy that I went to Sience program because I had never become a math or a natural science teacher. So I went to Linköping university and become a teacher but not in kinder garden. I wanted to work with 7th grades because I think it was a bigger challenge and more fun and I followed that line.
