Rabbie and friends from Yester
Rabbie Burns had lots of friends. Here he is with some new ones - all from our school! He is posing with Reid Rab, Seed-Burd and, of course, everybody's friend - Stirling Bear!
Rabbie Burns visits Yester
Today, we had a very special visitor. Rabbie Burns, Scotland's famous National Poet, came to tell us about his life and to recite some of his poems for us. He told us lots of interesting information and recited two of his favourite poems - To a Louse and To a Mouse. Of course, Rabbie has been dead for over 200 years so it was his ghost who came to see us!

Q&A
You had some questions for us a while back. Here are some answers.
1. What lessons do you have at school?
2. How do you say "hello" in Norwegian?
3. How do you say "Goodbye" in Norwegian?
4. What is it like to live in Norway?
5. Do you have a playground at school?
6. Is Norway a nice place to live?
7. What do you do in your free time?
8. How many pupils are at your school?
9. How do you get to school when tere is a lit of snow?
10. What time do you go to school?
1. In school we have English, Norwegian, PE, Swimming, Religion- Philosophy and Ethics, Art and Craft, Social Studies, Science and Natural Studies, Maths and Music.
2. We can say different things: "Hallo", "Hei", "God dag" and "Mårn".
3. We say: "Hadet", "Farvel", "Adjø" and sometimes in the phone we say "Hei".
4. We think it is fabulous and brilliant!
5. Yes, we have a playground at school.
6. Yes, we think so!
7. We play football, we go horseback riding, do our homework, we attend the Children's Red Cross (scout- like activities), do our chores, are with friends, listen to music, sometimes we have friends on sleep-overs, we paint and much more.
8. We are 72 pupils at our school.
9. There isn't usually that much snow here, so we can always walk. Sometimes there is a lot of snow in the mountains and we have avalanges. Then we have to wait until the roads are cleared before we go anywhere. Sometimes that can take a day or two. But that never happens on the road to school.
10. We leave home at ca. eight o'clock.

Thank you!
Happy New Year, a little late, to all our friends in Scotland!
Thank you for your gifts! They are very nice. We have put the flag up in our classroom, and we have made a small exibition of that and the cards, the calender and some copies of some of the pictures in the catalogue. We think you are very clever to write "Merry Christmas" in Norwegian! Here is a picture of us with our little flags, in front of the exibition in the making.
Godt Nytt År, litt seint, til alle våre venner i Skotland!
Takk for gavene! De er veldig fine. Vi har hengt flagget opp o klasserommet vårt, og vi har laget en liten utstilling av det og kortene, kalenderen og noen kopier av noen av blidene i katalogen. Vi synes dere er veldig flinke som skriver "God Jul" på norsk! Her er et bilde av oss med de små flaggene våre, foran det som skal bli utstillingen.
