This week 7.grade learned about herritage. The pupils talked to theire parents and their grandparents about herritage and how it was in Norway in the late eightteen- and early nineteenhundreds.

We visited a museum where we saw objects and heard stories from these years. Each pupil made their own individual button that was ment to be a symbol of their personality, not unlike a familycrest.

The children and staff, (and some parents), took part in the GOAL Jersey Day fundraiser today (5th October 2012). We wore our favourite sport jerseys to school for €2 and raised nearly €100. These proceeds will go directly to GOAL's work in the developing world.

On Friday, 28th September, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, we watched presentations of scientific experiments, interacted with scientists, flew in a hot air balloon ... and we realized that SCIENCE IS FUN!

We had a wonderful rainbow over our school this morning. In germany a rainbow symbolizes luck. It was amazing. We were thinking of all of you.
