Karlslunde is a little village 30 Km south of Copenhagen In the old days there were farms and field here . Farmers grew oat , wheat , rye and vegetables. Now there are mostly family houses here and only a few farms.
There are app. 5000 inhabitants of Karlslunde.
As you can see on the map Karlslunde is quite close to Koge Bay . It is only 2 Km to the beach from where most of us live .there are not very many shops around here : a little supermarket / grocerie a backer’s , a pizzeria , a hairdresser’s , a library and some small firms .Karlslunde is close to everything : s - trains every 10 minute to Copenhagen , highway E 55 to the rest of Europe only 1 Km away and finally Copenhagen airport 20 minutes by car from here . Karlslunde is as you can understand a lovely place even if it is sometimes a bit too quiet for young people.
They old part of the school is from 1908 and other parts are from 1956 and 1972 this is from the old part for our youngest learners. We have our class room in the modern part of the school.
Unfortunately we have no pictures of that.

VILLAGE POND

In the middle of our town there is a beautiful village pond. There are ducks and small ducklings and the small houses they are swimming around in the pond. The water is very dirty. Around the ponds there trees, bot trees. Sometimes children are fishing, and the old people are sitting there. And they look at the ducks.
