Rules for smoking and alcohol Due to Danish laws you are not allowed to smoke anywhere on Malling Skole, in public buildings, in restaurants etc. If you are a smoker you always have to go outside the premises to smoke. This means that you sometimes have to stand outside on the pavement. When you are at home with your host family, you need to talk to them whether they allow smoking or not. Alcohol is strictly forbidden during your stay in Denmark. Please take these rules into consideration. Kind regards, Vibeke and Tina

They played against France in the final (which is an amazing team) nearly nobody thought that the Danish team was going to win, but they did! It was the first time in history, the Danish national team won OL gold.
LEGO: Lego is a Danish company which is making tiny plastic bricks. LEGO is known world wide. Back in 2014 LEGO was named the best toy in the world. In Denmark we have Legoland which is an amusement park full of LEGO even the attractions are “made of” LEGO.
H.C. Andersen H.C. Andersen is an old Danish author. He was born in 1805 and died in 1875. H.C. Ander sen is known worldwide for his fairytales. Especially China loves him. He has made fairytales like The Ugly Duckling, Clumsy Hans, The Little mermaid and many more.
The little mermaid: The little mermaid is a bronze statue by Edvard Eriksen. The sculpture is displayed on a rock by the waterside of Copenhagen. It is from H.C Andersen’s fairytale “The little mermaid”. The little mermaid is one of Denmark's biggest tourist attractions.
Malling
Malling School: Malling School is 57 years old this year. There are 42 teachers on the school and about 600 students.
The center of Malling: Malling is a little village so the center is not very big. But we have 3 supermarkets, a school, a church, a dog dresser, a cinema, 2 pizzerias, an inn, a train station, 2 hairdressers, a driving school and a pharmacy.
BMI: In Malling we have BMI. BMI is a huge sports center located between Malling and Beder. BMI has a lot of facilities for almost everyone. People from the age of 4 to the age of 90 spend time there. You can pretty much play any sport there, unless it is a very uncommen sport like curling.
The Danish School System In Denmark you start in school when you are 56 years old. In our school you start in a class with other kids who are the same age as you and some of them are 12 years older than you. This is called AI. There are 7 AI classes. You go in an AI class for 3 years. After AI you start in the 3rd grade. And in that “middle school” you go from 3rd to 6th grade. After that you go to secondary school from the 7th to the 9th grade and sometimes 10th grade. Then you can choose to go to a boarding school or a high school. Boarding school is one year and if you choose that you can go to high school after that. High School is 3 years.
Danish Food In Denmark we are known for many things fx bacon, meatballs, patty shell, roast pork with parsley sauce, potatoes and smørrebrød.
Smørrebrød: Smørrebrød is a rye bread with different toppings. You can get one with egg, salad, tomato and shrimps. You can also get one with fish filet, tomato, cucumber, lemon and remoulade.
Bacon:
Denmark is very famous for its bacon. Bacon is salted meat, it is made from the back of a young pig.
Meatballs: Meatballs is meat from a cow. It consists of meat and onions.
Roast pork: Roast pork with parsley sauce is a dish where you have potatoes with a parsley sauce and you also have roast pork.
Danish Christmas food: The traditional Danish Christmas meal is roast pork, boiled potatoes, red cabbage and gravy.
Patty shells: Patty shells are a puff pastry with a white sauce with chicken and asparagus.
Potatoes: In Denmark we have a lot of farming, and that means that we grow a lot of potatoes. We also eat a lot of potatoes for dinner. You can e.g. make mashed potatoes, potato salad and rösti. Red porridge with cream (rød grød med fløde) is a sweet fruit dish from Denmark, the name “rød grød med fløde” is very hard to pronounce for someone who isn’t Danish!
Moesgaard Moesgaard museum: Moesgaard museum is a museum south of Aarhus. It's an archaeology museum with many interesting exhibitions such as “The Grauballe Man”.
The Grauballe Man: The grauballe man is the world's best preserved body found in a swamp. He was found in 1951. The grauballe Man is world famous.
Moesgaard beach: Moesgaard Beach is a beach south of Aarhus. The beach is bordered of forest and hills. In the summer the beach is one of the most visited beaches in Denmark.
Aarhus Aarhus is Denmark's second biggest city. It was founded in 1441 and it now has 264 thousand inhabitants. Aarhus has been chosen as Europe's cultural capital of 2017. And the people in Aarhus are really excited about it. You can see it because they have hung up posters every where.
Aros Aros is a modern art museum in the middle of Aarhus. The museum is huge and beautiful. It is the biggest art museum in northern Europe. It has a lot of cool art so we hope you are looking forward to going there.
The exhibitions change pretty often so in Aros there is always something new to see. Which is awesome because then it never gets boring going back again. Aros is a 10 floor large building with a rooftop where the Rainbow is placed. In Aros there is also a cafe and a shop where you can buy stuff about the museum.
