I have left Europe.

I have left Europe and gone to Africa. 

I have actually travelled south on the continent to a town called Cape Town.

Cape Town is located in a country called Republic of South Africa. It is the largest country in Africa, 52 million people live here. It is the 25th largest country in the world.

How many people live in Norway?  

I have reached the top on a mountain called Lion`s head.

Here is picture of me from Lion`s head.

Here is the flag of South-Africa

Enjoy the summer in Norway. Down here we have winter at the moment. 

Winter is not like it is up north. Here we have a lot of rain and wind. If there are clouds around Lion`s head, it is a sign that rain is coming. 

Guess what?

Guess where am I?
After Hege travelled to Bergen, I met a nice family from Holland/Netherlands.
They wanted to take me on a trip to a river called Veluwemeer for a familiy weekend.

The family took me to play tennis. I've never played tennis before, have you?

I also got to try playing a new board game.

It was nice weather here, so I also enjoyed the sun on the trip.

We are also planning a new trip.
I hope you all are doing well at School.
See you later.

Time for new adventures.

After one week in York, I and Hege said goodbye.

Here I am at Gatwick airport. 

Hege has travelled home to Bergen and I am now waiting in Gatwick to find new travel companions.

It will be exciting to see if I meet some kind people who can help me discover new places in the world.

York and Vikings

Hi, everbody.

Now I have learned a little about York.

This is a city with a lot of history.

It turns out that York is a Viking town. The Vikings were Norwegian and there are still traces of them in the city. The Vikings called York for Jorvik. 

They also have a Viking festival here in York.

In York, the streets are called "gate" the same as in Norwegian. 

They also have some of the same words as we have.

They say "Barn" meaning Child, 

"Leik" meaning play, 

"Rive"- scratch 

"Bleik"- meaning pale

So there are traces of the Vikings in the language.

Here is a picture from a street in York.

They also have a chocolate factory here. It was here that they made the chocolate KitKat.

It is a pretty good chocolate.

My first trip.

Hi friends.

I am on my first trip out into the world. I'm going to York.

Where is York ? Well, York is a town in England. 

There are about 210,000 people living in York.

The reason I am going to  York is that Hege(teacher) is going on a study trip.

She will visit the University of York which is a large school. Here she will learn more English so she can teach you English.

When travelling to York from Bergen, we are going to fly to Gatwick airport in London. Then we need to travel by train to York.

There are a lot of exciting things to see when we are travelling.

Here I am with Hege at Bergen airport. 

Here are the view from the plane over England and Norway. There is a difference. 

More updates are coming. 

Do you know where York is? Where is New York?

Bye

York og Vikinger

Hei Haukedalen.
Nå har jeg fått lært litt om York.
Dette er en by med mye historie.
Det viser seg at York er en Viking-by. Vikingene var jo norsk og det er fortsatt spor etter dem i byen.

Gate på engelsk heter «street», så ofte inneholder gatenavnene street på slutten.
I York heter gatene: Castlegate, Fossgate, Munkgate.
De sier også ordene: Barn,leik,klegg, to kile, to rive, bleik.
Det er altså spor etter vikingene i språket.

De har også en sjokoladefabrikk her. Det var her de laget sjokoladen KitKat.
Den er ganske god.

god.

Min første tur!

Hei alle sammen.
Da er jeg på min første tur fra Bergen. Reisen går til York.
 Du lurer sikkert på hvor det er?
Vel, det skal jeg fortelle dere.

York er en by i England. Der bor det ca 210 000 mennesker.
Grunnen til jeg skal få reise til York er at Hege skal på studietur.
Hun skal besøke Universitetet i York som er veldig stort. Her skal hun lære mer engelsk slik at hun kan lære dere engelsk.

Når vi skal reise til York kan vi ikke fly bort, det er nemlig ingen flyplass der.
Derfor reiste jeg og Hege fra Bergen til London med fly, deretter skal vi ta tog fra London til York.
Det er mye spennende ting å se når vi er på reise.

Her er jeg og Hege på Flesland.

 

Her er utsikten over England                                  Her er utsikten over Bergen. Se forskjellen.

Det var spennende å fly 

Kommer snart med mer oppdateringer til dere.
Hvor ligger York? Hvor ligger New York?

Who is Bobby?

Bobby the travelling bear is a travel companion for class 2B at Haukedalen school, which is located in Bergen. Bergen is the second largest city in Norway but we have discovered that the earth is so big and exciting that we want to experience more.

The class wants to travel around the world to learn about different languages, people, cultures and geography, but it's a bit difficult with 26 students and two teachers. That's why we are sending our teddy bear Bobby out on an adventure.

This is Bobby

We hope he meets kind people who can help him further in the world.

If you meet Bobby we hope you can:

• Take a picture with him to send it to us.

• Tell about yourself and where in the world you and Bobby are and where you are heading.

• If you want he can be with you on a small trip, but when the trip is finished it is great if you place him at an airport or train station so that he can meet new people and travel on.

If you send us information, we can use it for teaching about the map, examine cities, languages, cultures and learn about how other people are living around the world. We can discover how big the world actually is.

We also want to update our blog so that more people can experience the wonderful world we live in.

He will start his journey from Bergen airport soon. We look forward to an amazing adventure

Hvem er Bobby?

Bobby Reisebjørn er en reisebamse for klasse 2B på Haukedalen skole, som ligger i Bergen.

Bergen er den nest største byen i Norge, men vi har oppdaget at jorden er så stor og spennende, at vi vil oppleve mer. 

 This is Bobby-Dette er Bobby.

Klassen ønsker å reise rundt i hele verden for å lære om ulike språk, mennesker, kulturer og geografi, men det er litt vanskelig med 26 elever og to lærere. Derfor sender vi bamsen vår Bobby ut på eventyr.  

Vi håper han møter på snille mennesker som kan hjelpe ham videre i verden.

Treffer du på Bobby håper vi du kan:

• Ta et bilde sammen med han, og sende det til oss.
• Fortelle om deg selv, og hvor i verden du og han befinner dere, og hvor du/dere skal.
• Om du ønsker kan han gjerne være med deg på en liten tur, men når turen er ferdig er det flott om du plasserer han på en flyplass eller togstasjon, slik at han kan møte nye mennesker. 

Sender du oss informasjon kan vi bruke det i undervisningen for å se hvor reisene hans går, undersøke byer, språk, kulturer og lære mer om hvordan barn i andre land har det. Vi kan oppdage hvor stor verden faktisk er. 

Vi kan også oppdatere bloggen vår slik at flere mennesker kan oppleve den fantastiske verden vi lever i.
