Dear parents and caregivers, Google maps suggests that it takes19 minutes to talk from Asker station to the school. That seemed like a lot to me, so my husband and I took our youngest child, our 9 year old daughter (starting grade 4 in the fall) and tested it out. We didn't take the route suggested by google. Route suggested by google: We decided to walk by the "Next pharma" building, here is the walk on the map: There are lots of routes to take, so find out what works best for you and your children. The walk took this long from Asker station to the school: The soon-to-be-done-with grade 3 girl got to pick the pace. Adults and MYP kids can walk faster for sure :) Here we are by the main building, and I took pictures of the route back so you can all see: Still smiling after the walk up, and we are now ready to walk back. We're thinking it will be faster on the way back, and she's keen to get back, so quite faster I would say....:) Wal...
New building and yearbook :) Hey parents! Today the Parent council got to tour the new building. Principal Robert showed us a bulding that is pretty much done on the inside, and a playground that's well underway. Everything looks great, and we are super excited to bring our children in there next year. Take a look! Here you can see the PYP entrance being built. Certainly a large outdoor play equipment. There will be liquid rubber underneath. A closer look at the PYP entrance. The kids can walk into their classrooms without having to use the stairs. The swing set is being set up as well. Extra high hand reilings are ready. The mesh safety net around is coming later in the summer. One of the class rooms. The rooms are really bright and airy. The meeting room by the reception. I am posting this here, because the next parent council will get to use this room for their meetings :) Aaand: the yearbooks are here :) Marianne and I will be so...
