\"\"<\/a>Kvarnbackens skola \u00e9s una escola sueca, situada al centre de Porvoo, amb m\u00e9s de 70 anys d\u2019hist\u00f2ria. T\u00e9 351 estudiants, 26 docents, 16 \u201cassistents\u201d, secretaria i direcci\u00f3. Hi estudien alumnes des de \u201cpreschool\u201d (6-7 anys) fins al grade 6 (1r ESO). L\u2019horari varia segons l\u2019edat de l\u2019alumnat per\u00f2 comencen a les 9 i acaben entre la 1 i les 3, fent classes de 45 minuts, amb descansos de 15 minuts al llarg del dia i amb un descans m\u00e9s llarg per dinar, ja que tot l\u2019alumnat dina al menjador escolar. Els objectius de l\u2019escola s\u00f3n la col\u00b7laboraci\u00f3 entre alumnes, i tamb\u00e9 entre docents, i el treball i millora de les habilitats b\u00e0siques: lectura, escriptura i matem\u00e0tiques.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ens ha cridat l\u2019atenci\u00f3 que all\u00e0 tot el personal i alumnat de l\u2019escola va\"\"<\/a> descal\u00e7 o amb sabatilles. Les instal\u00b7lacions estan molt cuidades i el personal de neteja treballa durant la jornada escolar, vetllant perqu\u00e8 sempre estigui tot molt net. Durant l\u2019estada a l\u2019escola hem pogut observar que a cada aula hi ha un docent i un assistents. El clima de les aules \u00e9s molt tranquil i silenci\u00f3s, el to de veu a tot el centre \u00e9s molt baix, dels docents i de l\u2019alumnat. Els docents reforcen positivament qualsevol acci\u00f3 de l\u2019alumnat, fent un feedback positiu en les respostes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>L\u2019alumnat, des dels m\u00e9s petits fins als m\u00e9s grans ha demostrat molta autonomia, canviant d\u2019espais dins l\u2019escola per anar a les diferents aules d\u2019especialitat, gestionant el seu propi temps en els descansos entre classes, a l\u2019hora de dinar i sobretot, dins les aules en les activitats d\u2019ensenyament-aprenentatge. Les classes de fin\u00e8s i suec estan organitzades per nivell segons la llengua materna de l\u2019alumnat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hem pogut observar les aules de \u201cpreschool\u201d, en qu\u00e8 l\u2019alumnat ha iniciat el dia amb unes can\u00e7ons dirigides per la mestra, unes rutines curtes, i despr\u00e9s han partit el grup per treballar numeraci\u00f3, a trav\u00e9s d\u2019una din\u00e0mica en rotllana i posteriorment unes fitxes multinivell en qu\u00e8 sumaven. S\u2019oferia recursos manipulatius i m\u00e9s suport a l\u2019alumnat que tenia m\u00e9s dificultats. La resta del grup estava al pati fent activitats l\u00fadiques-esportives i despr\u00e9s han intercanviat l\u2019activitat. Un altre grup d\u2019aquesta edat han fet, tamb\u00e9 en grup partit, activitats l\u00fadiques al pati i els altres han fet una conversa en rotllana i despr\u00e9s una activitat de dibuix a l\u2019aula i a mesura que l\u2019acabaven podien fer una altra activitat, com jugar en petit grup, repassar continguts a trav\u00e9s de jocs, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tamb\u00e9 hem assistit a classes de suec a \u201cgrade 2\u201d, la mestra els ha llegit un conte mentre l\u2019alumnat es feia massatges a l\u2019esquena, en un ambient molt tranquil. Despr\u00e9s han treballat ortografia a trav\u00e9s de la consci\u00e8ncia fonol\u00f2gica, amb un petit joc en qu\u00e8 un alumne descrivia un dibuix i la resta endevinaven paraules i les classificaven i les han escrit conjuntament a la pissarra per observar la norma ortogr\u00e0fica que han treballat. M\u00e9s tard en petit grup de 3 infants, s\u2019explicaven els deures que havien fet el dia anterior a casa, els corregien junts i llegien en petit grup en veu alta el text que ja havien llegit a casa i s\u2019ajudaven entre ells. A la \u00faltima activitat cadasc\u00fa escollia un dibuix i anaven inventant i escrivint un conte sobre aquest dibuix, i qui ho havia fet i ho tenia acabat practicava cal\u00b7ligrafia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hem anat a veure una sessi\u00f3 de \u201chandicrafts\u201d a grade 3. L\u2019alumnat d\u2019una classe (20 alumnes aprox) estava dividit en dos grups. La primera meitat del curs un grup ha fet costura i l\u2019altre fusteria, i a mig curs s\u2019intercanvien, fent que tot l\u2019alumnat faci els dos tallers complets.<\/span><\/p>\n

El taller de costura es feia en un espai que disposava de m\u00e0quines de cosir, v\u00e0ries teles de diferents tipus i colors, fils, llana, elements per pintar, etc. Al llarg del mig curs han comen\u00e7at amb unes activitats amb papers per practicar la costura amb m\u00e0quines de cosir i despr\u00e9s tenien una llista d\u2019activitats a fer en l\u2019ordre que els indicava la mestra, per\u00f2 de manera aut\u00f2noma, agafaven el material, les feien i quan n\u2019acabaven una comen\u00e7aven amb la seg\u00fcent. Han fet bosses, coixins, peluixos, etc. Aquest taller el fa l\u2019alumnat des del grade 3 fins al grade 6, augmentant la dificultat dels projectes.<\/span><\/p>\n

El taller de fusteria es feia en un espai en qu\u00e8 hi havia moltes eines ordenades, fustes de diferents tamanys per escollir, teles i pintures per decorar les produccions, i algunes m\u00e0quines que nom\u00e9s feia servir el mestre. L\u2019alumnat ha fet diferents activitats, per\u00f2 han comen\u00e7at fent una activitat tots igual per\u00f2 despr\u00e9s a final del curs han dissenyat i fet el seu propi projecte de fusteria. Tamb\u00e9 han treballat de manera aut\u00f2noma, utilitzant les eines, pintant, recollint, enganxant fusta, llimant, etc. Aquest taller el fa l\u2019alumnat des del grade 3 fins al grade 6, augmentant la dificultat dels projectes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kvarnbackens skola<\/b> is a Swedish-speaking school located in the center of Porvoo, with more than 70 years of history. It has 351 students, 26 teachers, 16 \u201cassistants,\u201d administrative staff, and school management. The school serves students from preschool (ages 6\u20137) up to grade 6 (equivalent to the first year of secondary education). The schedule varies depending on the students’ age, but classes start at 9 a.m. and end between 1 and 3 p.m. Lessons last 45 minutes, with 15-minute breaks throughout the day and a longer break for lunch, as all students eat in the school canteen. The school\u2019s objectives focus on collaboration among students and teachers, and on developing and improving core skills: reading, writing, and mathematics.<\/span><\/p>\n

One aspect that stood out to us is that all school staff and students go barefoot or wear indoor slippers. The facilities are very well maintained, and the cleaning staff work during school hours to ensure everything remains clean. During our visit, we observed that every classroom had both a teacher and an assistant. The atmosphere in the classrooms is calm and quiet, with a low speaking volume from both students and teachers. Teachers give positive reinforcement for students’ actions, providing constructive and encouraging feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students, from the youngest to the oldest, demonstrated a high level of autonomy: moving between classrooms for specialized lessons, managing their own time during breaks and lunch, and especially within the classroom during learning activities. Finnish and Swedish classes are organized by language proficiency according to students\u2019 mother tongue.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We observed the preschool classrooms, where students began the day with songs led by the teacher, followed by short routines. Then the group was split to work on numeracy, first with a circle activity and then with multi-level worksheets involving addition. Manipulatives and extra support were provided for students who needed more help. Meanwhile, the rest of the group played outdoor games, then they swapped activities. Another group of the same age also split: one half played outdoors, while the other half had a circle time discussion followed by a drawing activity. As students finished, they could choose another activity, such as small group games or review games to reinforce content.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also attended Swedish lessons in grade 2. The teacher read a story to the students while they gave each other back massages, creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere. They then worked on spelling using phonological awareness through a small game in which one student described a drawing, and the others guessed the words, classified them, and wrote them on the board to observe the spelling rule being practiced. Later, in groups of three, they discussed the homework they had done the previous day, corrected it together, and read aloud in small groups the same text they had already practiced at home, helping each other. In the final activity, each student chose a picture and invented and wrote a story about it. Those who finished practiced handwriting.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also observed a \u201chandicrafts\u201d session in grade 3. Students (around 20) were divided into two groups. During the first half of the school year, one group did sewing while the other did woodworking. At midyear, they swapped so that every student completed both workshops.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sewing workshop took place in a room equipped with sewing machines, various types and colors of fabric, threads, yarn, painting supplies, and more. They began with paper-based activities to practice using the sewing machines. Then, following a list of activities in order provided by the teacher, they worked independently\u2014choosing materials, completing tasks, and moving on to the next when finished. They made bags, cushions, stuffed animals, etc. This workshop runs from grade 3 to grade 6, with increasing project complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The woodworking workshop was in a room filled with neatly organized tools, wood of various sizes to choose from, fabrics, paints for decoration, and some machines that only the teacher used. The students started with a common activity but later designed and built their own individual projects. They also worked independently\u2014using tools, painting, tidying up, gluing, sanding wood, and so on. This workshop is also offered from grade 3 to grade 6, with progressively more advanced projects.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
