Alas, Sterling Bear didn't arrive in Tyssedal in time for May 17th Instead of Sterling Bear, we brought along Frendship Bear for the children's procession, as a substitute. That way we kept you in our thoughts during our celebration.

Some people was wondering why we brought a teddy bear with a Scottish flag with us, and that gave us the oportunity to tell them about our blog, and what we have learned from it.

We will send Friendship Bear to to you in Scotland, hopefully you will have him there before school is out for summer.

Here is a picture of Horse and Rabbit with Friendship Bear.

May 17th

May 17th is Norway`s constitution day. We got our constitution in 1814. On this day we go in processions. We believe every single child in Norway is in a procession that day if they are able.

Our school choire sing on May 17th. Everyone in Tyssedal is there. Many pepole wear national costumes. On May 17th we eat a lot of ice cream, hot dogs, cotton candy and cakes. We play many fun gams like thowing balls at a mark on different kinds of races.

Stirling Bear goes to Norway!

Here is Stirling Bear ready to go on her holiday to Norway! We will send her off in the next few days and, hopefully, she will arrive in Tyssedal in time for your special day on 17th May.
We will look forward to seeing her in Norway and finding out what she does with our Norwegian friends.
