Welcome to the M-class
at Vadgård School
About us
The M-class at Vadgård School is for
pupils who need to learn Danish as a
second language before they can attend
an ordinary class on one of the schools
in Gladsaxe Kommune. We have pupils
from all over the world. Some pupils
have been here for months, others have
just arrived. The pupils will learn Danish
at a basic level. Our focus is vocabulary
acquisition, communication and literacy
(reading/writing) whether the subject is
Danish, Arts, Computer training, Cooking class or Maths. We are aware that
the pupils have individual learning skills
and needs so we strive to differentiate
our teaching.
For how long time will your child
stay in the M-class?
Your child will stay in the M-class for
as long as needed. The length of time
varies depending on each child’s ability
to learn Danish, linguistic background
and age upon arrival. From the beginning your child will be assigned to an
ordinary class at Vadgård School. Your
child will meet his/her classmates from
the ordinary class at assemblies and during breaks. After a period your child will
start participating in lessons in his/her
ordinary class. Your child will typically
participate in Sports and Arts at first.
We call it ‘praktik’ (trainee period).
When your child has learned Danish at a
basic level and is able to communicate in
Danish he/she will leave the M-class and
participate full time in his/her ordinary
class on one of the schools in Gladsaxe
Kommune.
Homework
Your child will be assigned to do homework every day that must be handed in
the following day. Please look for the
word ‘lektier’ (homework) written in
their books.
Afterschool:
SFO Vadgård or Club 222
SFO Vadgård is the place for children
in Year 0-3 once lessons have finished
for the day. The facility is structured to
provide a safe and stimulating environment where children are nurtured and
challenged. This is a place where children
learn Danish through play and develop
their social skills. SFO is open MondayFriday from 07.00 until lessons begin in
the morning and SFO is open again in
the afternoon when lessons have finished.
SFO closes 17.00 (Friday 16.30).
Club 222 is the place for the older
children from Year 4 and up. In the club
there are regular scheduled activities like
cooking, Sports, ‘out of the house activities’, games, Arts etc. Attending the club
is a good way to make friends, develop
one’s Danish language and have a good
time. Club 222 is open in the afternoon
when lessons have finished for the day
and until 17.00 (Monday-Friday).
Health politics
A healthy lifestyle affects your child’s
ability to learn and thrive. In Gladsaxe
Kommune we have a health policy. We
recommend that the pupils only bring
healthy food and snacks to school. The
pupils eat twice a day, so please give your
child a good lunch bag. At the canteen at
Vadgård School your child has the possibility to buy a healthy snack or lunch.
Pals
At Vadgård School we are following the
Pals model, which gives the pupils social
tools and knowledge on how to interact
with other children, be good role models
and follow class rules.
