Day 7: Leaving Norway

We got up early in the morning. The bus left Sodin Skole at 7am and after a 2 hour bus ride we finally got back to Trondheim Vaernes Airport. Team England and Team Germany took KLM flight 1174 to Amsterdam together, where Team Germany had to wait for another two hours for their flight to Hannover. Right on time at 17.45 we arrived at Hannover airport and everyone could see, hug family and friends again..

Day 6: Working together in school and winning the tournament

We started early again today with a teacher´s meeting, while the students learned how to use the iPad in Norwegian classes. As Norway is much more innovative concerning the use of iPads in school, they all could learn a lot. After preparing dinner for the gala event tonight, we had a little lunch, before playing the Norwegian game “Serveball” against each other. After almost 4 hours of playing, we had a winning team from Norway and England. After getting some rest at the host families, we met together for a nice evening event. After having a delicious dinner, we were[…]

Day 5: Visiting Leroy and finally being back in the nature

We started the day again at school at 8am in the morning. The bus (and the friendly driver) took us to Leroy (Belsvika) where we got a great introduction to the Salmon growing facility. After getting to know how everything inside the large building works (keeping all salmons healthy with a complicated filtration system), we had the chance to have a closer look at the biological department. All students were allowed to dissect a salmon. What a great experience! After having learned a lot at Leroy, the bus took us to a little fisher´s boat that brought us to Magerøya, a[…]

Day 4: Visiting Kristiansund

Today, the bus took us to Kristiansund, a small town about 100km away from Kyrksæterøra and we had to take a ferry boat on our way there. Just after arriving we went on a little hike to a tower above the city with a great view of Kristiansund and the surrounding landscape with the stormy Atlantic Ocean. While some of our group got a lot closer to the Atlantic by walking all the way down, the other group went to a shopping center nearby. After lunch, we all met again at Atlanterhavsbadet for some sporty activities like swimming, jumping and riding on[…]

Day 3: Riding a horse and learning a lot about farming and forestry

Right after arriving at school a bus took us to Witsø hestesportsenter. After a short ride our Erasmus+ team has been splitted into two groups: one group started with preparing the horses and the riding lessons, the other group learned some new skills: walking with walking stalks, throwing the lasso and walking and hiking through a forest with lots of things to eat, see, feel, smell and discover! After a great healthy lunch, the groups changed and everyone had an awesome adventurous day at the horse riding center.

Day 2: Getting to know each other at school

The first day began with a nice meeting at Sodin Skole that has been interrupted by a fire alarm (a false alarm, fortunately)… we got to know each other and took a nice tour around the school. Joining the MOT lesson was very interesting and something we would love to have (and teach) in Germany! Our students said it felt good to be encouraged to stand up for his/her own opinion and listening to themselves. Being courageous enough to make own decision is something that helps being confident for your own future! After having delicious lunch (prepared by our Norwegian[…]

Day 1: Travelling from Hannover to Kyrksæterøra

Meeting at 4.30 at the airport means: getting up early! But everyone from our group did it on time and we were ready to fly over Amsterdam to Trondheim. After waiting for 90 minutes at the KLM counter, we almost missed our flight. But thanks to reserved seats we could make it and the flight to Amsterdam was easy to handle. Before flying into Trondheim, it got a little bumpy but we are still alive 😉 after meeting the Erasmus+ team from Finland, we shared a minibus to Kyrksæterøra, where our host families were already waiting for us.. the first hours[…]
