Excavation of the town bridge has resumed.

Bæjarbrú is a term used for the practice of pupils in primary schools taking secondary school courses while they are still in primary school.  This winter, courses will be offered in two subjects: mathematics and English. Around 20 pupils are enrolled in mathematics and nearly 30 in English. 

The programme takes place at Flensborg with weekly lessons and homework, and otherwise follows the same requirements as those for upper secondary school studies. Teaching for Bæjarbrúnnan began last week, and a presentation about the programme was also held at Flensborg for students and their parents.  The aim of the Bridge Programme is to give interested primary school pupils the opportunity to take secondary school courses while they are still in primary school, for students to get an introduction to how learning works at secondary school level and for those who are interested to get a head start on their further studies. The courses that students complete in the 'Bæjarbrú' should be transferable to any secondary school.
