INTRODUCTIE MARCUS GROLLMAN
I would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself. I am
Marcus Grollman, and from May I will be the Coordinator of the
International Department, combining this with teaching in the TPO
section.
Although I have Dutch nationality and consider Groningen very much my
home, I was born in London and spent quite a number of years teaching
in the UK, as well as in Italy and Spain. My family origins are VERY mixed:
Irish, Danish, German, Latvian (among other bits!) – so I think I can safely
be called European; indeed, that is what I feel!!
For seven years I have been working at the
Language Centre of the University of Groningen,
and I have been the Head of English for the
last two years. For nearly twenty years before that, I
was an elementary (primary) school teacher and
manager, and I am really looking forward to returning
to what I consider my real vocation and love: working
with and for children. Before I began working at the
University Language Centre, I taught at the Helen Sharman School in
Assen, and it will be great to work again with some colleagues from
those days.
Although I won’t be officially starting work until 1 May, I hope to be
around school quite a bit before then, so I look forward to meeting as
many children, colleagues, parents and friends as possible. I’m sure I will
be writing a bit more about myself once I officially join the GSV
community.
PERSONELE BEZETTING HB1 EN F1/F2
Vanaf 2 maart zal er wisseling worden doorgevoerd in de personele
bezetting voor de groepen HB1 en F1/F2. Juf Corrina Gifford zal volledig
voor F1/F2 komen te staan (zij vertrekt hiermee uit HB1) en juf Manda
Ophuis zal op de maandag, dinsdag en woensdag in HB1 voor de klas
gaan.

ENGLISH EXTRA LESSONS
As you are all aware, Audrey Wijnberg has retired as English teacher at
the GSV. She will be missed by us all but we are also sure she will enjoy
her new lifestyle.
I (Pip Broad - English teacher in groups 3 & 4) will be taking over
Audrey’s ‘plus groups’. Since August 2014 I have been teaching group 7
plus children on the Friday morning, and my hours will now be extended
to the whole Friday.
There are some important changes in the structure of these plus groups
which the team of the GSV would like to share with you. The lessons will
now be called EXTRA English lessons instead of PLUS. The reason for this
is that children who need a challenge and those who need extra support,
will both be catered for. Group 8 will also be included in this new
structure. Previously it catered for groups 5 to 7. The children will
receive lessons in a block of 6 to 8 weeks and then another group will
take their place. The groups will receive more than one block of lessons
a year. This means we can help more children and we keep the
motivation level high. The specialist English teachers and the class
teachers discuss who are suitable candidates, and if your child is invited
to join a group, a note will be sent home so you are also aware of the
situation.
I am looking forward to this new aspect of my work at the GSV and I am
sure the children and I will have an educational, fun time working on
projects together.
Best wishes,
Pip Broad
MISS AUDREY
Langs deze weg, wil ik alle leerlingen, leraren en ouders bedanken voor
de geweldige afscheid cadeaus en aandacht van afgelopen week.
Bloemen, kaarten, schilderijen, planten; voor mij was dit een TOP
afscheid. Ook hebben leerlingen gezongen, concerten gegeven met
eigen instrumenten en ook mij voor de laatste keer een hand en knuffel
gegeven. Ik was er erg ontroerd door.
Ik zal jullie allemaal ontzettend missen.
Audrey
