Long time...

It has been such a long time since we updated this page. So here is a summary of what has been done. Before the Christmas holiday we watched and listened to all the lovely songs we got from the other countries. We also worked with the texts and pictures about how they celebrate christmas in Holland. And we recieved a lot of nice christmas cards!

After the Christmasbreak the classes started to work with the material about the other countries´historic personality.

In two weeks one teacher, two Comenius assistens and two pupils will leave for Slovenia. They will stay for a whole week and we wish them a nice trip. Meanwhile the classes at school will start working with the personality for the second semester. This time the topic is music and we will work with Roxette. It will be fun!


Det var längeseden vi uppdaterade den här sidan, så här kommer en liten summering av vad som hänt sen sist. Före jullovet tittade vi och lyssnade på alla de fina julsångerna vi fått från de andra länderna. Vi satte oss också in i Hollands fina arbete om sitt julfirande. Och vi fick en massa fina julkort!

Efter jullovet började klasserna arbeta med materialet om de andra ländernas historiska personlighet.

Om två veckor kommer en lärare, två Comeniusassistenter och två elever åka till Slovenien. De kommer att stanna en hel vecka och vi önskar dem en trevlig resa. Under tiden kommer vi att börja arbeta med andra terminens personlighet. Ämnet för denna terminen är musik och vi kommer att göra ett arbete om Roxette. Det ska bli roligt!

Genius!

In Italy we diceded that this nice figure should be the mascot for our project. We named the mascot Genius. It is created by the Polish school and they are going to send one mascot to each participating school. Beringskolan is looking forward to the arrival of Genius.

I Italien bestämde vi att den här fina figuren ska vara maskot för vårt projekt. Vi döpte den till Genius. Den är gjord av vår partnerskola i Polen och de kommer att skicka en maskot till varje deltagande skola. Beringskolan ser fram emot Genius ankomst.

The first mobility is over!

It was a great week in Italy. We had great food, a lot of sweets and cakes. We saw a fantastic dancing performance created by the children at the school where we spent most of our time during the stay. We learned about the history of Avezzano and did some sightseeing. And! We met new friends and the whole project became a lot more distinct.

Now we are working with the next part of the project; to create christmascards and to record swedish christmas songs for the other countries. Yesterday we choose which songs to record and next week we will be practising.

Första resan är avklarad. Det var en härlig vecka i Italien. Vi fick god mat, massor med sötsaker och kakor. Vi fick se en fantastisk dansshow av eleverna från skolan där vi tillbringade det mesta av våra dagar under vistelsen. Vi fick lära oss om Avezzanos historia och åkte på lite sightseeing. Och! Vi fick nya vänner och hela projektet blev mer konkret och tydligt.

Nu jobbar vi med nästa del av projektet; att göra julkort och spela in svenska julsånger till de andra länderna. Igår bestämde vi vilka sånger vi ska spela in och nästa vecka kommer vi att öva.

Italy, here we come!

This week the kids are on educational holiday and I´m getting things done in the office. This sunday we are leaving for the first meeting with the other participating countries in this project. It´s going to be really exciting. It will be fun to hear what the others are doing this first semester and to get faces to the people we´re gonna work with the next two years.

Den här veckan har barnen lov och jag får saker gjorda på kontoret. På söndag åker vi iväg på den första träffen med de andra deltagande länderna i det här projektet. Det ska bli så spännande. Det ska bli roligt att höra vad de andra gör den här första terminen och få ansikten på de människor vi kommer att jobba med de kommande två åren.

Kända snapphanar - famous snapphanar

Simon Andersen
Simon Andersen was kapten among the snapphanes and he had a farm in Åkra in the western Vrams parish, Kristianstad County. He had the biggest friskyttekompanies during the Scanian War. Swedish soldiers encircled him in his yard. He probably escaped to Denmark. 1680 Simon was seen as baptism witness north of Copenhagen.

Lille Mads
Lille Mads was born in Rødding parish. In February 1677 his company, of 600 men, attacked Swedish troops on the ice in the middle of Finjasjön. In 1678 helped Lille Mads the Danish soldiers to do a raid in Ystad. Sven “Banketröja "Erlandsson tracked the men to Sövde windmill. After half hour of battle the Scanians drew back. They took four men and one of them was little Mads.

Store Truede
Store Truede lived for one year in a cave in the woods near the farm Burn Knoll, south from the lake Immeln. All farmers in the whole district promised the Swedes to keep the area clean from snapping males and therefore they sent out patrols to locate every Snapphane that they would kill. One of the patrols discovered Store Truede who sat on a stone outside his cave, and they shot him to death. The day after they carved a cross in the stone which, according to tradition must be seen on this day. The stone is now located in the south curve of the old road between Arkelstorp and Hjärsås. There are many legends about Store Truede, and one of them said that it was a tailor in Hjärsås who cheated him, and shot him at this place. It is said that his Friends carved a cross into the stone where he fell.

Bengt Månsson

Bengt Månsson came from Faralt and was a leader of Skåne Fagerhults snapphanes. He was executed in Ljungby. Today there is a statue of him in Skåne Fagerhult.
