Our school in Norway
We live in Northern Norway
This is where Nord-Lenangen
is situated That’s our school
Straumen Skole is situated in a small, picturesque village
called Nord Lenangen. Nord Lenangen is situated 350
km above the Artcic Circle in Northern Norway !! The
school faces the sea and Fugløya (The Bird’s Island) as its
nearest neighbours.
We run a Christian private school with 24 students
attending it from the 1st to the 10th grade.
Lower-secondary school (10 grade)
Upper-elementary school (6-8 grade)
Lower-secondary school (9 grade)
Lower – elementary school (3-5 grade)
We can take the school bus to get to school in the
morning. The bus arrives at our school at 08:45. The bus
ticket costs 16 NOK (2, 04 euro). Sometimes our parents
drop us off to the school.
Most of the students ride a bike to school in the autumn
and in the spring.
In the hallway, we take off our shoes. We don’t wear
shoes inside the school as most of us wear socks only
on their feet  The school is made of wood.
At 08:50 we have a morning assembly. The teachers take turns to hold a
morning meeting. The attendance list is checked.
We pray the Lord’s prayer, read an extract from the Bible and sing
psalms. Then, announcements for the day are made.
When the morning assembly is over at 09:00, we go to the classrooms.
Here is the list of the subjects that
we do at our school:
English
Norwegian
Music education
Religious/Bible studies
P.E. (including swimming classes)
Maths
Science
Sosial science
Family and consumer science
Art and crafts
Homework assistence
We have two types of breaks – outdoor and indoor breaks. If the weather
is good, we can go outside and play in the schoolyard. There is a
playground and a football court. But if the weather is bad, we can stay
inside and play games in the gym. “Ungdomsskolen” can be inside in all
the school brakes, except the first one in the morning.
At 11:15 everyone at the school has lunch in the cafeteria (kantina).
Before we have lunch we say a grace – we thank God for the food that is
on our tables.
Students in Norway take
packed lunch from home.
We usually have in our lunch
boxes: sandwiches with
chocolate spread/ cheese
spread/ liver spread, pizza
slices and some fruit.
When the lunch is over and everyone has done eating,
three of the students clean up the lunch room. Three
new cafeteria helpers are chosen every week.
At 10:05 one student from every class goes to the
cafeteria to cut fruits.
Every second Friday the book mobile arrives at our
school. The book mobile is a library inside a bus. You can
borrow books, DVDs, CDs and different magazines. You
can give it back next time the bus comes.
♥ ♥
We finish the school day at 14:35 and then the school bus
comes to pick us up. One of the teachers always has a
bus duty – that means that they look after students who
take a bus home.
When the bus arrives, the students line up and then one
by one we can go on the bus.
Our school organises many school trips and puts on
many activities and events, e.g. we round up sheep, go
on a camping trip, go fishing, have a carnival and a sun
celebration when the sun appears in the sky after long
polar nights
In February we go skiing.
Here in Norway we all
say that Norwegians are
born with skies on their
feet and that is why we
are a nation of expert
skiiers!!
In October we hold Mini
Marathon. All the students and
teachers at the Straumen Skole
take part in the race. We run 2
kilometers one way, and 2
kilometers back. We let our head
teacher win as he hates losing
In September we go
orienteering in the wood.
At the camp base, students
are divided into teams and
are given a topographical
map, a control card and
their task is to find the
control posts as fast as
possible.
There are 7
hardworking
teachers
at our school!
P.S. we are missing one teacher in these photos, because
we couldn’t find any pictures of her (Bente)
Hei!
You can visit our school webside: www.straumenskole.net
The website is both in Norwegian and in English!
HAVE A NICE DAY! 
HA EN FIN DAG! 
