2. What we have learnt • Different school systems • Keep an open mind about art- informal learning • Outdoor possibilities • Aesthetical aspect indoor and outdoor • Learning styles, Howard Gardner’s use in Denmark

3. Transition • Similarities and differences in the transition processes amongst our group. • In Denmark there appears to be a big leap from kindergarten to school, could this be addressed in a uniform way?? • Is this issue being resolved already?

4. Our transition… Home Life Denmark Experience • Met new people in a new environment • Used skills like children do - becoming comfortable in our environment • Taking our education from home and adapting our learning to Denmark experience

5. Outdoor play… • Great inspiration from the outdoor experiences we have had • Hope to use this experience in our own practice at home • Outdoor play as a transition skill to help kindergarten children learn through play in the school environment • Is our learning a form of transition?

6. Extra visits... • Kindergarten visit – children from 0-6 years.Star shaped building. • Gave a good comparison to the House of Children setting. • Less affluent area – different nationality of children (20) • Great outdoor space • Transition work with four schools, can sometimes be problematic.

7. Extra visits... • Back to Nordvang school! • Took part in dance class and outdoor lesson • Nice to see lessons in practice

8. In summary • A great experience • Highlighted further the difference in transition methods and how different approaches can work. • Good to share experiences to gain insight into different approaches • Informal learning important to children, should always be valued by adults • We are very grateful for this experience • Now time for a sing song...
