Curriculum for Excellence...
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.

Eggeslevmagle Skole, is situated in the town of Skælskør, around 100kms west of Copenhagen, in Denmark. It is a bigger primary school, with around 670 pupils.
All three schools hope to use this blog to exchange information about each other and to find out a bit about each other’s cultures.

History...
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, it was decided to invite a third school, and country into the project, so now, Eggeslevmagle Skole, situated in the town of Skælskør, around 100kms west of Copenhagen, in Denmark will join Yester and Kuvansi, as we embark on a new cultural project, A Crossroads of Cultures. Welcome to both the children and their teacher,Lene Sieling, from Eggeslevmagle Skole!
