The first week back after our travels and the autumn half-term has been absolutely brilliant in every way! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conclusion of several subjects and projects has included, amongst other things, a concert by the music group and the opening of the project class\u2019s art exhibition. In addition, the gymnastics team has been given new apparatus to practise on, whilst the basketball team has been on a training camp in Ikast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autumnal atmosphere in Copenhagen<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The autumn half-term in week 42 offered an exciting trip to Copenhagen for our Full Host students. Here, they set out to explore the capital\u2019s many attractions \u2013 from Tivoli\u2019s cosy autumn atmosphere, stunning decorations and fun rides to a football match at Parken, a leisurely stroll through Nyhavn and a royal visit to Amalienborg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there was also plenty of time to relax, go shopping and enjoy each other\u2019s company \u2013 all of which helped to create fond memories and a sense of togetherness amongst the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit from C:ntact <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, our Danish classes in both Year 9 and Year 10 were visited by C:ntact, a Danish theatre organisation that uses personal stories to create performances about people\u2019s lives and experiences.

Freja, Isaac, Ali and Elias from C:ntact spoke with brutal honesty about their upbringings. Among other things, they touched on topics such as grooming, the pressure to live up to expectations, crime and self-determination. At the same time, they fostered an open dialogue with the pupils and allowed space for questions and reflections. Afterwards, the pupils took part in workshops where they were challenged on their perspectives on life and given the opportunity to reflect on the topics that had been raised.

Thank you to C:ntact for visiting Ranum Efterskole College and engaging our pupils in an important and open dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New apparatus and vaulting on the timetable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our gym has been upgraded with new equipment, so that pupils can develop their skills even further. Among other things, we have invested in a new mini-trampoline, a foam mat, a flik-flak station, a mat holder and extra vaulting boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, we ran gymnastics as an evening activity, and it quickly became clear that there was a great deal of interest \u2013 regardless of ability or experience. Some pupils were even so keen to get stuck into the jumps that the warm-up sometimes took a back seat. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve now introduced trampoline gymnastics as a dedicated activity, where there\u2019s plenty of time for warm-ups, technique and developing the pupils\u2019 skills \u2013 whether they want to refine their jumps or learn gymnastics from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not strictly speaking a gymnastics club, nor do we aspire to be one. However, we do want to give pupils the opportunity to pursue the interests and communities that also play a significant part in their leisure time outside school. Club activities play an important role for many of our pupils \u2013 before, during and after their time at efterskole \u2013 and that is why we want to make room for gymnastics and the enjoyment it brings. At the same time, a efterskoleO programme is about exploring oneself, trying new things and discovering new interests. That\u2019s why it\u2019s great to be able to offer a trampoline gymnastics class where there\u2019s room for everyone \u2013 both those with experience and those who\u2019d like to give gymnastics a go for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
