Log from the Comenius visit. (Norway)

During the first Comenius visit, which started November 11 and ended November 16, 2010, I was a host for two of the students from Ireland, Eoin ó Murchadha and Jamie More. On the first day I went with the other hosts to Tromsø to bring the students from Spain, Ireland and Bulgaria to Nordreisa. That day we didn’t really do much, since it was about midnight when we arrived home. On Friday we went to our school and the students got a tour of it. Later we had the students in our classes, and they got to see what our school system is like.

On Saturday we went back to Nordreisa and the students got to see reindeer. Some of us went back home, while others hung out with each other and got acquainted. Eli, another host, had two of the Irish students staying with her, so we decided to go to her house and get to know each other. Later we taught them a card game called “en, to, tre “or as it would have been in English “one, two, three“. After a while we went back to the meeting at our school, and the students got to eat Norwegian food. On Sunday I stayed home, while the other students went to Manndalen.
On Monday we had a normal school day, and the students left. It was very sad to see them leave, but we are still trying to keep the contact between us through internet and mail.
