The boxes were exchanged at Easter - we received culture boxes from Majorca and Norway. In the Autumn, each class will have e-mail links with the pupils from the other schools. We also intend trying a video conference and we will be able to see and talk to the other pupils involved in the project.

At our last Circle Meeting we were really excited when we opened the culture boxes we received from Norway and Majorca. They contained many different items of interest. We especially liked the catapult but it is for display only. There are lots of different foods to try but we don't think we will like the salt fish that was in the Norwegian box. Mrs Keir, our Home Economics teacher will show us how to cook it and then some of us might taste it. The different cheeses in their box look good, hopefully it will taste as good as it looks. We are going to have a food-tasting afternoon. Read about what we thought of the food later. Click on the flags to see what was in the culture boxes
