The sand rose—a fascinating natural phenomenon of the desert. It forms when minerals from groundwater rise to the surface and crystallise in the dry heat, showcasing the extreme conditions of desert climates.

In their climate zones block, Year 7 pupils are currently exploring deserts and climate diagrams. They are learning how to read climate diagrams, extracting key information about temperature, precipitation, and seasons.
Their self-made textbooks are filled with handwritten texts and drawings, as writing, drawing, and creative design ensure that knowledge sticks sustainably—turning lessons into a creative adventure.

"The sand rose blooms in the desert."

In today’s Norwegian lesson, Year 2 pupils are focusing on the letter “K”—and what better word to explore than “King”?
With creative drawings and a magical landscape, the children are learning the new letter in a fun and imaginative way.

The blackboard shows how a simple letter can turn into a whole story. The pupils connect “K” with images of kings, mountains, and flowers—turning the alphabet into a journey of imagination.

Our Year 3 class kicked off the new school year with their Bees block. Through the story of Konrad and his grandfather, the pupils learned how bees’ lives begin in spring, what happens in winter, how the queen and drones live, and the role each bee plays in the hive.

The class visited the school’s beehives, watching the bees fly in and out—and checking if they carried pollen (or "sun bread"). Fittingly, the children were lucky enough to witness a bee swarm firsthand—an unforgettable natural event!
In class, they created beautiful texts and drawings in their notebooks to capture their new knowledge. They also crafted tiny bees from cones, which now hang as a mobile in their classroom.

The pupils aren’t just learning facts about bees—they’re also discovering how vital these little creatures are to our ecosystem. For the next three weeks, Year 3 will be fully immersed in the world of these hardworking pollinators!

🌿 Feel free to explore our photo_album and experience Year 3’s bee adventure for yourself!

The journey of plant growth—from the tender sprouting to the vibrant bloom—is truly captivating.

Year 6 kicked off the school year with a botany block. The blackboard illustrations beautifully show how a sunflower develops step by step—from a tiny seed to a magnificent flower.

The pupils are following the life cycle of the sunflower: how the seed germinates, the root grows into the soil, the stem stretches upward, and finally, the flower unfolds toward the sun. Each stage is a little miracle of nature—and an invitation to explore the beauty and complexity of the plant kingdom.

In After-School Care, the children have collected and pressed flowers together. Using a traditional wooden flower press with screws, the delicate petals and leaves are gently dried—creating lasting works of natural art.

Through flower pressing, children discover the intricate beauty of plants in a hands-on way. The children learn to identify plants, collect them mindfully, and experience the beauty of nature in new forms.

The pressed flowers can later be used for pictures, greeting cards, or herbariums—a lasting reminder of nature and the time spent together in SFO.

The first block of the school year in Year 7 is dedicated to climate geography.
Here, the pupils learn how the Earth is divided into different climate zones based on climate, sunlight, and temperature.

The image shows today’s blackboard – an illustrative depiction of the climate zones, from the polar cold regions to the tropical warm areas. A fascinating introduction to the interconnected systems of our planet!

After months of planning and construction, teachers and students can now make full use of our modern, inviting space for cooking and learning.

The room is bright, functional, and thoughtfully designed. In the "Mat og Helse" classes for 8th and 9th graders, students will try out recipes and learn about sustainable nutrition and healthy living.
In addition to the modern, well-equipped kitchen, the space also offers room for theoretical lessons—where topics like nutrients and sustainable eating are discussed.

Large windows flood the room with natural light, while the cozy wooden tables create a space for collaborative learning and shared meals.
Soon, aromatic scents will waft through the school halls - learning engages all the senses.

Cooking, learning, enjoying – this is where Mat og Helse comes to life!

The first day of school is a magical moment.
The entire school gathered in the gymnasium to welcome the second graders. They had spent their first school year in a small building with its own courtyard.

The doors opened, and in came the little ones, led by their class teacher, who guided them inside with the soft melodies of her flute. With flowers in hand, the new VG3 students welcomed the newcomers. One by one, the second graders were greeted with smiles and kind words—for them, the start of a journey filled with learning, laughter, and new friendships.
By the end of the school year, it will be their turn to bid farewell to the VG3 students.
