As travel between Scone & Steigen is pretty complicated, we had necessary (and enjoyable) stops in Bodø and overnight in Bergen on the way home from our week-long exchange visit allowing us to get a wider flavour of Norwegian life. #ErasmusPlus #KA229
Pupils from Nordfold Skole and @RDMScone camped out at the spectacular Brennvika in Leines on Tuesday after a full day of scenic walks looking at local geology and plant life. The backdrop for a friendly football game couldn’t have been better! #erasmusplus
Pupils from Steigen and Scone had an interesting day finding out about the ways of life in a Norwegian village. We saw a community sawmill in action, linked to each home in the village also having two acres of woodland. #erasmusplus @RDMScone @perthacademy
Following our day of outdoor learning, we’re enjoying some Scotland v Norway (by accident) football before we cook dinner outside and camp together. #erasmusplus
12 pupils from @RDMScone, @perthacademy & St John’s Academy are visiting our partner school for a week in Northern Norway 🇳🇴 We are exploring geology and plant life around the beach at Brennvika in Steigen today.
As part of our sharing of the project with a wider teacher audience, we were presenting our project and its impact so far at #PedagooPerth this morning. Good to have @RDMScone & @perthacademy pupils all involved. #ErasmusPlus
What a fascinating and inspiring visit from @MackayAlix telling our Norway Club at @rdmscone about the history of the Norway-UK collaboration in the Heroes of Telemark and her own adventure recreating it with @ForcesWivesChal #ErasmusPlus @Norw_Scot_News
We are really looking forward to welcoming @MackayAlix to our Norway Club meeting tonight. P7 and S1/2 pupils from @perthacademy will be hearing all about the Forces' Wives Challenge ladies who recreated the 'Heroes of Telemark' journey, skiing across Hardangervidda in Norway
Today we were delighted to have a fascinating visit from Åshild Sande from Norsk Sjømannskirken (Norwegian Seaman’s Church) in Aberdeen. She told us about her important work looking after the welfare of sailors and marine workers around Scotland’s ports. #ErasmusPlus
Today, Norway Club P7 pupils at @RDMScone led a presentation at assembly that they had researched about Scotland & Norway’s connections during WW2, including about the Shetland ‘Bus’. Well done on all your research. #RemembranceDay @PaMemorial
Our P7 Norway Club members have been busy researching the connections between Scotland and Norway in WW2 for our school’s #RemembranceDay assembly later this month. #ErasmusPlus @PaMemorial
We are delighted to see this newspaper coverage from @thecourieruk about our joint #ErasmusPlus funded visit that took place last week. @erasmusplusUK thecourier.co.uk/fp/educatio…
Our wonderful week of learning together is coming to an end as our Norwegian guests prepare to travel back home tomorrow (Monday). We ended with a barbecue and reflective time following our canal trip and Kelpies visit today. #ErasmusPlus @erasmusplusUK
Today our Norwegian visitors started thinking about how our schools could add more to our project in our extra year working together. We visited @DiscoveryDundee and had a great time learning about Scotland and Norway’s shared history of polar exploration. #ErasmusPlus
We ended the day with a Ceilidh for everyone, including parents, siblings and staff. There was a lot of Scottish country dancing, singing, food and friendships being further strengthened between the pupils. #ErasmusPlus @RDMScone
Today we shared a big part of our #ErasmusPlus project between Scottish and Norwegian pupils and teacher. After the Norwegians had been to P1 & P3 to read stories in English to pupils, the joined P7 peers to build shelters in a joint #outdoorlearning lesson. @RDMScone
It was brilliant to have the Scottish and Norwegian children encouraging one another literally to new heights on the climbing wall tonight at @PerthUHISport. Thank you to the staff there for a great time and being so flexible to our bilingual needs! #ErasmusPlus
We have had a very active day today, visiting Lochore Meadows with P6/7 pupils from @RDMScone and Norwegian visitors. We tried canoeing and biking there before @perthacademy S1s joined us at @PerthUHISport climbing wall this evening. #ErasmusPlus
After we got back to Scone from Edinburgh, we had some fish and chips and enjoyed some fun in the park with games all organised and explained by the children on the hoof. #ErasmusPlus
