Resumo: The school is located in a small city (+/-40.000 inhabitants). The school is a 10 minute walk from the town centre were public transport is easily available. A bike can be provided by the school to get to the bus/train more quickly if necessary. There are direct train connections to the 2 biggest cities of Belgium: Antwerp & Brussels (both 1 hour train journey).
There are busses on a regular base to all smaller villages around. This means the volunteer will easily get
to the school and will also easily be able to visit other parts of Belgium (or even Europe as all
connections are possible from Brussels) in his/her spare time.
Turnhout has a nice architecture and a lively cultural scene (big theatres, concert and play facilities), which on semi-regular bases include cultural activities for local schools. Whenever possible the school happily integrates those activities.
The building of the school is a former factory surrounded by lively new development. The building was recently renovated. It has special shaped large windows, lots of airy space and an elaborated playground with natural wooden structures incorporated. it also includes grass land and a biological crop garden. The maintenance of the crop garden is part of the school project and integrated in the school Program for all pupils.

Tarefas: We are looking for a volunteer to be part of our staff in the kindergarden (2,5 - 6years) and more specifically in the first class of kindergarden (2-3year old). The volunteer will be actively involved during her/his whole stay. The tasks will all be related to the follow-up and supervision of the children during
their school day.
The following tasks will certainly have to be performed:
• taking care of the pre-schoolers getting (un)dressed for the outdoor activities (we do a lot of outdoor activities even under bad weather conditions - in order to be able to do so, we've rain & mud equipment that our smallest children gradually need to learn to put on themselves, this is one of the skills they learn in the first class)
• Recess duty: We have moments of free playing and directed playing, during both moments notonly supervision but also
observation of the development of the children is an important task of our staff. If interested it could be a possibility for the volunteer to prepare some directed play moments (with coaching of the class teacher)
• Helping to prepare the fruit and soup meals: healthy food is part of our education, Therefore our day starts with a fruit plate where the fruit is brought by the children and then peeled and shared between the pupils. 3 times a week we also prepare soup with fresh organic vegetables in our kindergarden classes together with the children.
• Preparing and supervising the after lunch nap: we're enthusiastic about the positive impact of a resting/sleeping moment for our kindergardners. Therefore until 5 years old they all have a moment of rest on their mattresses after lunch.
The volunteer could start a personal project under coaching of the class teacher. E.g. a possible project:
prepare and supervise a directed play moment where his/her culture is integrated in order to be able to share and transmit some of this to the pupils. This could be on a regular base (e.g. weekly), in order to create interaction and interest with the children towards this specific intercultural play moment.
Of course all the tasks described above are performed under the guidance of the class teacher

Horário: The volunteer will voluntarily work 5 days a week. Monday/Tuesday/Thursday 8h00-15h10 and
Wednesday/Friday 8h00-12h40. School-holidays are free. Obviously, during the summer holidays the
school is closed, but we offer the volunteer ongoing activities that are linked to the tasks that he or she
will have done during the school year at Speelpleinwerking Wollebos (Turnhout). Speelpleinwerking is a
common setting in Flanders, where children can attend holiday activities under the supervision of
experienced monitors. Those summer activities include outside group games, art workshops, playground
visits, games, …
