We visited Kuntoranta in Varkaus on Monday 28th of April. We cycled 15 km from Kuvansi to Varkaus and then we raked the dead leaves off the grass. We worked 4 hours and after that we went to the spa. You can see water slide behind us. At spa we enjoyed water bubbles and massaging showers and we played basketball in the swimming pool. It was a really nice school day.
This is the cake which all pupils will enjoy a piece of, to celebrate 40 years since our present school opened.
In the hall with children and friends.
Today, we celebrated our 40th anniversary in school! Each class went to the hall, where we joined parents, friends, ex- teachers and former pupils to sing Happy Birthday, and cut a huge cake! Each child will receive a piece of the cake tomorrow!
On Friday last week, we had some more headteachers from the Netherlands visiting Yester. They were part of a group who spent a week in Scotland, looking at the Scottish education system. Again, they are seen with Mr Purves and Mrs Edwards, outside the school.
Today, we had a visit from four Headteachers from Holland. They were here to see how our school system works, and they were very impressed by the work that has been done between Gifford and Kuvansi. We decided to take a photo of them by our International Education board. Mrs Edwards and Mr Purves are seen with them here.
