Sandnes School is quite small, I may say, but I have found it comfortable and welcoming. They told me about only 600 people attend this school. Its really diferent from most schools in our country, but the the good thing about visiting a school like this for the first time is that you don't get lost, not like when i attended the one in wales... 
The classes weren't big either and people sat in large table, alltogether. they worked on laptops, not on notebooks like we do and they finish school at one o'clock. But the main difference between schools in Sandess and schools in Spain is that we do our "parcial exams" and our "final examens" at the end of every term. they, instead, do a single exam at the end of the year, and only for a subject. My host, for example, was taking her english exam on the 31st of May. 

The second day, I acompanied my host to one of her lessons. English lesson, in fact, because the other lessons were taught in Norwegian, and i can assure you Norwegian is impossible to understand! in five days i only learnt how to say a few words like: hello, thank you,bye... and a song named "Per Spelmann".
