During a combined outdoor lesson of geography and P.E. (sport) the Hofstad Lyceum students of T2A discovered basalt on the beach. A long time ago boiling hot, molten volcanic rocks, today the cover of ice cold piers, protecting our vulnerable sandy coast against strong, eroding sea currents. The subject of the ‘indoor lessons’ was volcanism and as these erupting mountains in Holland don’t exist, their teacher of geography, Hans Smit walked with them half an hour to the shore in order to experience the basalt boulders. The lovely sunny weather contributed to make, apart from the more formal assignment, also a photo documentary for their bilingual email- and Blogger friends in Cudillero (Asturias, Spain). The idea is to supply them with impressions of the surrounding of Hofstad Lyceum. And then in particular the dunes, the beach and the North Sea. They hope that their Selgas friends in Asturias will make a similar photo session. Both documentaries are going to be presented during a video-conference, that will be organized within short. As this outdoor lesson was realized together with Mrs. Inge Stet, the T2A-tutor and teacher of P.E., all kinds of sport were integrated in the mini- excursion. Like, apart from the long walk, a cross-country race in the dunes, playing football and frisbee on the beach. With these last activities the students continued enthusiastically, even long after the official school day (Friday!!) had finished. A real proof, that those lessons outside the school are considered to be very ‘cool’
