Daily activities

Fjósið hosts a movie club called Paddi, which has organized activities including short film making for third and fourth graders. In these projects, children are directly involved in brainstorming, scriptwriting, costume selection/creation, and directing. Staff members provide assistance with filming and post-production. Once the films are ready, the groups have invited other children from the after-school program to attend screenings, which have been well-received. Additionally, Fjósið has developed a project named ‘Upp All Walls’ or 'Upp um alla veggi', where a climbing wall was installed. The climbing wall is primarily used in club activities, offering various climbing routes along with an obstacle course and challenges for when climbers reach the bottom.

Child prosperity

The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.

Information on the prosperity contacts for children at the Fjósið after-school program can be found on the website of Sæmundarskóli.
