A Healthy Passport P5: Yester learns the Finnish dance, "Lintu-Lensi."

A Healthy Passport has been awarded National Quality Labels in both Scotland and Finland by the eTwinning teams in both countries. Yester Primary's teacher, Michael Purves, applied for and received the Quality Label in February 2008, while Kuvansi's Jyrki Ikonen received the great news that he too had been awarded the Quality Label in June 2008.

The following quote comes directly from the eTwinning.net website:

"eTwinning Quality Labels are granted to teachers with excellent eTwinning projects. The Quality Label is concrete recognition to teachers and schools of the high level of their eTwinning activities. For pupils, this offers a boost to their work efforts, and for the school in general, a public affirmation of their commitment to quality and openness in European collaborative work."

This means that, as both schools now have been awarded the Quality Label, we should shortly receive news that A Healthy Passport will be awarded the European Quality Label, the highest award possible at European level!

Well done to all in both Kuvansi and Yester who have been involved with this project!

History...

International Education is something that Yester Primary school staff are very interested in developing. Early in 2007, two of the staff, Fiona Edwards and Michael Purves decided to look at ways of linking Yester with schools from other countries. After researching the idea, the school registered with eTwinning.net, an international organisation that helps schools from different countries make links with each other.
It was always hoped that we would make a link with a Finnish school; as Finland is top of the list of countries that the Scottish Government recommends for links. As Michael Purves had also spent a highly enjoyable family holiday in 2006 in Finland, it seemed a natural choice.
By June 2007, we had found a partner- and Jyrki Ikonen from the Kuvansin koulu school near to Varkaus had agreed to join us in our project, which we are calling “A Healthy Passport”. Over the course of the next school year, until June 2008, we plan to get children from both schools to exchange information on a range of subjects, allowing them to find out as much as possible about each country’s schools, villages and the cultures of Scotland and Finland themselves.
