An eTwinning project linking Scotland and Iceland.
Why are we blogging?
One of the aims central to our blog is that it will help our children to increase their ability to be successful learners - confident individuals - responsible citizens - and effective contributors. These are the four aims of A Curriculum for Excellence. A Curriculum for Excellence is central to the Scottish Government's 'Ambitious, Excellent Schools' reform agenda. The LTScotland website gives more details
A report of our blogging work is featured on LTS' website here.

Hi, my name is Doo. I am 10 years old. I have two cats. I love to swim but don't go very often. I love to draw too, but I don't think I am very good at it! I hope to get to talk to you all a bit more soon, and I hope we all have fun on this blog.

Hi what is your favourite team in the Englis league? My favorite team is Manchester united. Hope to hear from you soon.
International Education is something that Yester Primary school staff are very interested in developing. In the session 2007- 2008, Michael Purves registered with eTwinning.net, an international organisation that helps schools from different countries make links with each other.
Yester linked with a Finnish primary school, Kuvansin koulu in the village of Kuvansi, close to Varkaus, and we started a project called A Healthy Passport, with the help of Jyrki Ikonen, the teacher in Kuvansi.
Over the course of the year, the two classes exchanged lots of details about the cultures in each country, and the project won acclaim, eventually being awarded 2nd prize in the annual UK eTwinning Awards Ceremony in June 2008.
For 2008-2009, the class who worked on A Healthy Passport have linked up with a school in Iceland, to work on the project, A Cultural Comparison. So, it's welcome to Flataskoli Gardabaer, close to Reykjavik and teachers , Guðríður Railand Kolbrún Svala Hjaltadóttir, who will join us in this project about our cultures. Welcome!
