This is our mascot. He was created by one of our students, Natalia. There was a school competition and several other storks wanted to win, but we loved this one. So meet The Stork.

England
This is Mortimer the dragon. He is the mascot of Mordiford Primary School. Mortimer is a very well travelled dragon because he has been involved in 3 Comenius projects and a UKIERI (India) project. Mortimer likes to collect badges of the flags of the countries he has visited and then pin them on his school jumper. Some of the badges he has are from: Sweden, France, Spain, Turkey, India, Northern Ireland, Ukraine and Italy. Mortimer is looking forward to meeting lots more pupils from our partner schools as he always enjoys a cuddle.

France
Let us introduce you to this Rico, the Eiffel tower. Say “BONJOUR” to our French mascot. Two pupils designed it, children voted and selected it and it was created by one of our student’s mum (many, many thanks to her for her talent and efficiency!) We are sure you will recognize this very famous monument in Paris…

Sweden
This is Lasse-Britta, the Swedish mascot. The name Lasse-Britta is a unisex name with Lasse as a male name and Britta as the female. The tag LB on the dressing-gown is also from the name of the Swedish school Långbrodalsskolan. Our 10-year old students in grade 4 have created this amazing mascot during needlework class time in school in autumn 2013, all by their own choice.

Northern Ireland
This is Hugo, the hedgehog. We chose a hedgehog as our mascot as we had a family of hedgehogs living in the school garden. Sadly, we had to send one of them away to a rescue shelter as it was poorly.
The name Hugo was chosen by one of our pupils in a school competition.

Germany
This is Leo, the lion. The lion is the heraldic animal of the emblem of Bonn. Once the sculpture of the lion was placed on the Münsterplatz, a central place in the city. Nowadays there is the monument of Ludwig van Beethoven- a proper alternative. So we took the lion and travel now with him around Europe, meeting lots of nice and friendly people and funny mascot-friends.
