Pupils from two primary schools, one in Finland, the other in Scotland, travel to meet each other and experience each others' cultures. This blog tells the story of the two trips.
Background
Since May 2007, when Yester first made links with Kuvansin koulu (Kuvansi Primary School) in Eastern Finland, we have always had the hope that one day we could take pupils from here in Scotland, to visit their friends in Finland.
Now, in 2011, we are about to do just that! This blog will keep track of the plans, and the trip itself, allowing the pupils (and parents) to keep a permanent record of what should be a memorable visit.
Below are links to the class blogs we have run since 2007 with Kuvansi Primary School:
Healthy Passport blog 2007-2008
Crossroads of Cultures blog 2008-2009
Schoolovision 2009
It's nice to hear from you blog, 2009-2010

Varkaus weather
None of the work carried out by the two classes could have been done without us becoming involved through the fantastic eTwinning resource! Have a look for yourself at how it can link schools in Europe...
