We are working on
our second
newspaper from
Norway. We had a ter-
rible accident, as you
all know, recently.
Our whole school
burnt down to the
ground. The 7th.
Grade are located at
the communitycenter.
The 5th and 6th grade
are at a school called
Østli. It’s quite far
from Tårnåsen so we
have to take a school
bus every day. The 4th
and the 5th grade go to
a school called Sofie-
myr skole, not far
from Tårnåsen. What
is quit funny is that
the 1st and 2nd grade
goes to secondary
school (before the 7th
grade)! We have met a
lot of new children
from this school,
which is very nice.
Before the school
burned we were busy
making intervues and
taking pictures for
the newspaper. A lot
were destroyed in the
fire. We had been in
the forrest with the
1st graders, to the
swimminghall with
the second graders,
skiing with the 3rd
graders etc. We are
now working hard to
make new ones and
we hope you’ll like it.
If you forget me, I will be crushed to pieces. Small pieces, tiny pieces, no pieces.I will cry, lie, say that I’m fine.
But you know, I’ll never
IF YOU FORGET ME be, not without you.
You are my world.
My life.
My everything.
But I know I’m your
nothing.
Cause you never look at
me as you look at her.
For you, I’m invisible. Invisible, it breaks my heart.
Looking at you.
Smiling at you.
When you don’t look back.
It’s like you take my heart, crush it and put it
back.
And you know, crushed
hearts don’t hurt.
And ghosts don’t feel so
why do I still feel?

The New School
I like my new school. I
have got a nice friend
and her name is Cecilie.
She is very kind and
sweet. Some of my
friends from before also
go to Østli. I really enjoy
going to this school.
Love from Aurora
The new school is great. My class has
a very small classroom. The toilet is
very big, but the school kitchen is
rather small. The school yard is a part
of the forest and there is no school
border and no football field here. The
school yard is very big. Sometimes I
play basketball and sometimes foot-
ball in the break. We have to take the
bus to and from school every day. All
in all it`s ok to be here, but I miss
my old school. From Martin
I think my new school
is different, but now
I have started to like
being here. I have got
a new friend. She is
so great and very kind
to me. I like my class-
room, too. It is rather
small, but I like to
stay there.
From Ingrid
Dear Comeinius friends
I think the new school is very nice, but
I miss Tårnåsen school. I think it is a
long way to travel.. I think the class-
room is very nice but I like the play-
ground on Tårnåsen better. One thing I
do like about the playground at Østli is
that I can play table tennis. The chil-
dren here are also very nice.
TÅRNÅSEN SCHOOL ON FIRE
OUR EUROPEAN NEWSPAPER 2 Side 2
Tårnåsen school on fire!
Written by Ane and Anny
16th of March our school began to
burn. The fire began 20.20. It was
caused by careless playing with fire
too close to the school. Together
with some of the leaders from the
local youth club they tried to put out
the fire, but it was too late, it had
already gotten hold of the roof. Be-
cause the school was quite old, the
fire spread quickly. At nine o’clock
the firemen came. By then the fire
was all over the roof. Many people
came to see what was going on, the
firemen couldn`t put out the fire and
it lasted to the next day. The next
morning only sparks of fire were
seen. It was written about the
fire in many newspaper and on the
internet.
The fire wasn’t completely over
until Wednesday afternoon. At six
O`clock all the pupils from the 5–
7 grade with their parents got
together to get information about
what was going to happened the
next days. We, the sixth graders,
now go to a school called Østli
skole. You can read about our ex-
I have started on a new school. It's called Østli. The last school
burned down, 16th March. It's was very bad. But now I am happy,
because I have a new school. It is very nice there, but I miss some
things from Tårnåsen. I miss all the drawings and other things we
made. But I can make some new drawings. In Tårnåsen I walked or
bicycled, but to Østli I have to go by bus. In the playtime in Østli
we use the swings and play outside.
Best regards Oda
LETTERS FROM THE PUPILS
Hello the 16 th of Mars something very terrible
happened with our school. There was a fire and
our school burnt down. We are now going on Østli
School. I like to be here , it is a lot of funny things
to do in the break. Last week we saw two pretty
deers close to the school yard.
From Mathilde
I will tell you about my new school, Østli School. The school is lying
only 3 kilometres from Tårnåsen, so we are going by bus every day. It
is lying on Myrvoll, a place further south in Oppegård. As Tårnåsen
School has Østli School also has a nickname, “The School in the For-
est”. There are about 350 pupils at the school and with 128 of us, it
becomes as big as Tårnåsen. Love from Sara
I haven`t made some
friends….yet. I am just with my
old friends. I don`t like that the
gymnasium is so small. It had
been better if my school didn`t
burn down. I think my classroom
is cool. I really
don`t like the A-plan
cause now we don`t
have the books, and
I don`t mabage to
finish it cause the
Europe compendium
takes all
The time. I think it`s exciting to
take the school bus. The snow has
melted, I don`t know if I think
it`s good or bad? We had a couple
of football matches against
Østli and at last we won. I like the
school.
From Mats
Our new school
is awesome.
The people here is very nice and
the girls often play with the girls
on the new school. I just live the
look of the school, it has lots of
playgrounds and many cool out-
side things. A bonus is that we
have a great basketball court and
you know me, I just live baske-
ball. It is very big school and
there is 2 floors.
It`s just great.
Bye!
From Victor
From Tårnåsen to Østli By Viktor
Tårnåsen school was built in 1973 and
located in a nature-rich area. The school
covers the 1-7. Class, while the secondary
school is Hellerasten.
It was a very nice school and we agoing to
miss it. Many of us have some good
memories from that school.
On 16th of March a very big part on the
school burned down to the ground.
Most of the people who came there to
see our wonderful school we all love, were
the students and their parents, But,
some just came to see it burn.
It was a tragedy and a big problem for
the students. In the start everyone
asked themselves; were are we going to
learn and what will happen now? It was
decided that the 1-2 graders were going
to Hellerasten School, The 2-3 grad-
ers are going to Sofimyr School and
we, the 5.6 graders, are going to
Østli School. The 7 graders are going
to the activity centre at Tårnåsen.
We think that all of us were happy
about the decision.
Pupils and teacher at Østli are di-
vided into four teams. This organiza-
tion is more robust than the tradi-
tional organization with one teacher.
When a teacher is absent, the other
teachers in the team take over his/
her responsibilities. Students meet
adults they know and the days are
safe and predictable. The school is
clean and pretty with great outside
areas and nice social environments
Structure in Østli
School
Step teams
The 1. and 2. grades are the Dragon team
approximately 115 students
The 3. And 4 grades are the Grasshopper
team
approximately 80 students
The 5. 6. and 7. grade is split into two
parts. The Beehive has about 70 students
and the Anthill
also has about 70 students
More letters from pupils
After the fire on our
school we must go on another school,
Østli. I think it is ok to get some new
friends, but I will rather go to my old
school.
From Josefine
Because the school burned down, we
had to move to another school.
The school is great. I have so many
friends here. This school has a
much bigger school yard
than we are used to
have. I like my old
school, but it is ok to
stay here. It`s no more
to say, really.

The 7th grade also had a performance
THE COUNTRIES OF THE
WORLD - A TOUR MADE BY
THE 7TH. GRADE OF
TÅRNÅSEN SCHOOL.
Written by Oda Simensen
We were welcomed by Eivind and
were told that the 7th graders
would guide us through many
countries and show us songs and
dances from all over the world.
It was an exiting journey. We saw
bellydance , a dance from Africa
were they used sticks, there were
acrobats and funny sketches.
The show ended in New York with
all of them singing and dancing
the song ”FAME”.
I learned a lot about the
different countries and had a
great time.

And playtime in our
new playground
A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. ”Why” asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit.
The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. ”I’m a panda” he says, at the door.
”Look it up” The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation…
”Panda. Large black– and white bear-like mammal, native to China: Eats, shoots and leaves.Jon

1.
One day down on the earth a horrible thing happened.
All the oldest children from 6 and 7 class at Tårnåsen
planned to bully all the small children at school.
High up in the sky, Diddle watched everything! She tried to
wake up Moog, Stitch and Sophie but
Stitch was very difficult to wake up.
The 4 Carebears live in a castle on a cloud high up in the sky. Their names are
Sophie, Mog, Stich and Diddle. They are 4 years old. They are very kind and they
always want to help children if they are being bullied.
2.
When they got dressed at last and when they had eaten a huge breakfast they
were all ready for the trip down to the earth. They went into the sky car and
started, but then a terrible thing happened……..
3.
The doors were drawn up, and when they decided to go out of the sky car, they
were drawn and out into a black hole. It is said that if you are almost quiet in the
darkest spot you can hear someone call for help. Therefore they were very quiet
and they could really hear a scream from a place very, very far away.
4.
Sticks was lying in his bed and he was sleeping. Suddenly he woke up. His heart was
beating and he was wet all over his body. He cried and he screamed;
I HAVE HAD A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!
He was exhausted because of the dream, but very satisfied
that it was only a dream. Because it was only a nightmare, the
others have not been drawn into the black hole, either.
He dressed and went down for a bit breakfast and he felt
really happy, because it was only a dream. When he saw the
others sitting at the kitchen table eating he almost started crying. They thought he
looked worried, because Stich`s face was still red, his eyes were swollen up and his hair
was a bit untidy. Then Stich needed to tell all the others the things he had experienced.
5.
The day before Stich had seen a night movie and the film was very, very scary. It had
been very late and he went to bed at 4 o`clock in the morning. Before he felt asleep he
thought about the scary episodes in the film and he felt it was like a black hole under
his bed. When he had to go to the toilet, he really jumped out of his bed. When he woke
up and found out it was only a nightmare he promised himself never to watch a scary
movie alone again.

1. Where is mom?
This is Sophie’s story about what happened four years ago:
It was morning. Mom was at work. James and I ate breakfast. The
whole day James and I were out playing tennis. At six o’clock mom was
still not home. James and I were worried. We thought that if we
waited a bit longer she would come home and both of us went to sleep.
The next morning we woke up and mom was still not there…..
2. The mystery
James and I decided to call the police. The police had not seen mom.
It was a mystery. They called mom’s job and mom’s colleague answered
the phone. He had not seen mom either. We decided to look for her.
We went to her job and found a note. It said: “I have gone to Paki-
stan”. We rushed to the airport and took the first flight to Pakistan.
3. At the airport in Pakistan.
When we came out of the plane we got a terrible shock. We saw mom
lying on the ground in front of a plane! We called the hospital and half
an hour later the ambulance arrived. They took mom to the hospital.
4. In the hospital
Mom was in hospital and she was close to dying. She was in a respira-
tor. The doctor thought she would live but she did not. One hour later
she was dead…
To be continued…..
5. Who killed mom
Before mom died she saw who stabbed her and she recognized him. She
saw his passport and his name was sky Bond. The police searched for
his name and found out who he was. It was our own father who had
killed her.
And that’s how James and I ended up in an orphanage.

The football player and the lost turtle!
Once upon a time there were a football player called Fransec Fabregas who lived
in London. He had two little sisters who lived in Grand Canaria and they were
called Veronika and Elisabeth Fabregas. Veronika was 15 years old and evil. She
had a twin sister who was called Elisabeth who also was evil. Their parents were
dead and Veronika and Elisabeth lived alone.
Fransesc also lived alone but he was 22 years old. He had a very good football career
on Arsenal. He had a cool turtle called Sparky. He made a lot of money and he gave
some of it to his sisters. However, they were very nasty and mean. They bought a lot
of clothes and shoes. One day Elisabeth thought of an evil plan. They had called their
brother and asked if they could come and visit him. He became very happy and said
yes! What he didn’t know was that the sisters had an evil plan. That was to steel his
turtle and film him when he got so sad that he started to cry and then put it on You-
Tube.
The next day the sisters were in London and their brother met them on the airport in a limou-
sine. They drove home to Fransesc Fabregas. Fransesc had a big house with a big pool.It
was a diving board and a water slide and a lot of other cool things.
One day Fransesc was going to play a football match and he said to his sisters that they
could do what they wanted to. The only thing they couldn’t do was to touch his turtle. Still,
when he came home the turtle was gone. The sister’s evil plan was working. The same night
they heard that their brother was crying. The next day the brother understood that it must
have been his sisters, so he pretended to be in the pool and instead went to his sister’s room.
There he heard his sisters talking about what they had done to his turtle and that they were
going to film him the same night.
He stole their purses and told them that he could change them for his cool turtle Sparky.
The evil sisters gave up and said “OK”. In the end the sisters said “sorry” to their brother.
For the rest of the holiday they were good friends and they had lots of fun.
THE END!
