Into classrooms that have to be aired every 30 minutes so no COVID infection happens. Enough oxygen gets into lungs and brain. And on a tablet or a worksheet they learn about frogs and newts. About water birds, and they do movement exercises next to their desks.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A world of its own.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1015\" src=\"https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-1800x1015.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-1800x1015.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-500x282.jpg 500w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-2000x1128.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-1000x564.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-993x560.jpg 993w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-1200x677.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-2048x1155.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trailblazing.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tuerlersee-1024x578.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peace lies<br\/>Over every peak,<br\/>In every treetop<br\/>You sense<br\/>Hardly a breath;<br\/>The little birds fall silent in the woods.<br\/>Just wait!
