Bini arrives in Norway. There once was a doll called Bini . He needed a holiday and decided to visit Norway because he had heard what a beautiful country Norway was. He stowed away in someone`s luggage in a plane and landed in Sola airport, near Stavanger in southwest Norway. The luggage turned out to belong to a little boy called Tord who lived in Tananger. When Tord found Bini in his luggage, he was a bit suprised. Bini lay still pretending to be an ordinary doll so Tord did not realise that he was actually alive. He showed the doll to his parents who were also very suprised. There didn`t seem to be any way of finding out who this doll belonged to, so whenTord asked if he could keep it, his parents agreed.
Bini goes to school. • One day, soon after this, it was Show and Tell at Tord`s school. Tord was so proud of Bini that he wanted to show him to all his friends and his teacher. Everyone in his class thought that Bini was such a nice looking doll and the story behind his arrival in Norway was so mysterious that they all wanted him to be the school mascot. Tord was a little sad to split up with his doll but his teacher comforted him by saying that of course he would see Bini every day at school. • As for Bini, he thought that being a school mascot in Norway was very cool and he was happy to stay. • This is a picture of Tord`s school . It is called Haga.
Bini meets the principle on the 17th of May. • It was a nice day in May that the children brought Bini outside. The children had put on their nicest clothes and many people wore national gowns. There were several parades that day and bands were playing in the streets. • Bini wondered why. And when he met Per Inge Ruud, the principal of Haga school, he asked him why the Norwegians celebrated this day. • Per Inge told him that Norway for hundreds of years was a part of Denmark. When Denmark lost Norway to Sweden after the peace negotiations in 1812, some Norwegians met and made the Norwegian constitution . • -The 17th of May is our national day and we celebrate our constitution, Per Inge told him.
What Henrik told Bini about Tananger. • Bini wanted to know what kind of place Tananger was, and he asked Henrik in the 7th grade what he knew. • Henrik told him that Tananger is a small village by the sea.

More than 100 seals can be seen at Kjør. • They are clumsy at land, but great swimmers and divers. The food is mostly fish, but they eat birds and shellfish too. • Haverten (norwegian name) is the biggest one of the seals that lives along the coast of Norway.

Bini goes fishing. • It was a nice and sunny day in the autumn that the children brought Bini to the harbour. They were learning how to fish with a fishing rod. A lady from the local fishing club had all the equipment and was there to show them. • 52 children were fishing but they only got one cod and several small fish that live under the quay.
Oda shows Bini the harbour.. • After fishing for a while, Oda brought Bini to show him the lovely harbour and all the boats that were there. She told him that Tananger started growing because of the lobster that they exported in the end of the 15th century and that is why many settled down here. • Since then Tananger has just grown helped by lobster and other fisheries, ship piloting and other maritime ventures. • It seemed like Bini really enjoyed looking at the beautiful harbour and the all the boats. She told him why the pilots were and still today are so important to us in Tananger. • The sea is dangerous because of all the rocks outside Tananger and it is necessary to have a pilot ready for helping the boats.
The sea pilots. • Elise and Rosanna wanted to find out more about sea pilots, so they went to the pilot station and there they met Tore Espeland who works as a pilot. He told them that he was a sailor before. Since he started as a pilot, he has piloted hundreds of boats. His work is to steer the boat trough the dangerous waters outside Tananger till it comes alongside the quay. And when it leaves again, to take it back trough the same waters. Espeland has piloted big ships; even big cruiseships. • If the weather is bad, it can be difficult to get from the pilot boat into the ship. They have a special kind of ladder.
To work on a pilot boat. The pilot needs a helper. Someone who can steer the pilot boat while the pilot is piloting.
To be a pilot in the old days. • The pilot tradition in Tananger dates back to around 1700. Then the pilot boat was a small sailing vessel. The pilots were sailing around trying to find a ship to pilot. • There were several pilots, and they raced to get to the ships. If you weren`t fast enough, you did not earn any money. • It was very dangerous to be a pilot then, and many pilots drowned.
Flatholmen. The lighthouse. • One day Xhezair brought Bini to Flatholmen. To get there, you need a boat. There are only a few houses there. One of them is a lighthouse. • When they were there, they met an old man. He told them about the two brave girls who lived there a hundred years ago. Their father was the caretaker of the lighthouse. One day he was sailing their mother to Tananger. She was going on a visit. It was January and very cold. On their way back, the boat tipped over and both father and one son were in the water. • The two girls saw what happened from the island. They put out the rowing boat and tried to save their father and brother. They caught their brother, but their father drowned. • They took their brother to the island and that night the girls lit the lighthouse all by themselves. • When Bini got back to Tananger again, he visited the staue of the two girls.
The lobster hotel. • There is only one hotel in Tananger. It is called: Hummeren. That means: The lobster. • The hotel has a pool with living lobsters . The guests can go and pick the lobster they want to eat. Then they cook it for about 25 minutes. They put it in boiling water. • It is served with white bread , mayonaise and some lemon. • It is very expensive to buy lobster today. Lobsters are protected from the first of January till the first of October. • This is the new hotel. The old one burned down about 30 years ago. • In the old days the fishermen could catch a lobster in their net . The family then would get it for dinner; the lobster meat served in a white sauce with potato and vegetables.
Bini at Hummeren hotel. • Bini loves fish, so John Harald took Bini to the Hummeren hotel. There they ate a lot of good sea food. Fish and shellfish are their specialities. • Every day they serve a sea food buffet. • Bini said it was the best food he ever tasted.

Bini in thesnowwith 2B. • The 19th of December the snow came to Tananger. And unlike other years, this time it stayed for a long time. It’s now February, and the snow is still here! Class 2B took Bini out in the snow. January 2010
Our school is surrounded by small hillsides – perfect for activities in the snow! She scool yard is long and flat – perfect for cross country skiing! After a while they were all cold, and decided to go inside and read for Bini instead. He enjoyed that very much too! All the children were happy to hold Bini and show him around in the playground. He got to ride on the swing and to slide down the steep hill in a very high speed. He was just a little bit scared – but the children helped him and told him that it’s not dangerous!
All the pupils in the second grade; 2A, 2B and 2C took a trip down to the harbour to visit the statue of the two girls who saved their brother from drowning. It was a very nice day, and we all really enjoyed – and notised – the beauty of our home town!
