Preparing for a Norwegian Christmas

We have been learning a few Norwegian words and a Christmas song with the Norwegian exchange students. We will be lighting the school Christmas tree and singing the song the same week as the community trees are being lit.

We also tasted gingerbread.

This is a traditional Norwegian Christmas food.

The Orkney Song Shop will be coming in to help us learn the song for our tree lighting.

It is called, 'Jeg er sa glad hver julekveld'.

We can see how similar some of the words are and we can understand a few without translation.

Monarch of the Glen

We have been creating images based on the famous painting by Landseer of 'The Monarch of the Glen'. It is a painting which people all around the world associate with the Highlands of Scotland. Here is a slideshow of our paintings.

A short film about Norway

What can you see that is the same as Orkney and what is very different about Norway?
