Teaching Maths in a Norwegian upper Sec. School.


Peter Ssenyimba in the picture was teaching about Pythagoras theorem and its use in solving practical problems in life. This was a Grade 1 class of Practical Mathematics
(1 ST). The class is made up of 18 students and each of the students has a personal Mathematics text book which are used in each of the lessons.

Variation in Teaching Methodology.


Co-teaching proved to be counter productive in improving students’ attitudes towards the learning of the subject and increased efficiency of the teachers in regard to attaining the desired goals.
Students tended to occupy the front seats and developed more enthusiasm in discovering the unknown through inquiring from the different teachers with ease.

Teachers' X-Mas Dinner at School.




19th Dec. 2008 was the last day of school before the two weeks christmas holiday. Students started off the day by gathering in Rjukan town Cinema hall to watch a film about the history of Norway for about one and half hours. From the Cinema they proceeded to school to have tea and chocolate before receiving their reports. On the other hand teachers had a christmas dinner prepared by Home and Social Care students with their teacher, Listbet. On the menu were Chapatis prepared by Geoffrey and his wife Esther. During this dinner Geoffrey handed over the 2009 Office Calenders of King's College Budo to the headteacher Olav Tov.
