How do you feel today? I hope that just as happy and
satisfied as we... It has been a very hard day today; we kept on doing things
Sven and I.
The day started with the 1st class, some incredible
children who have a lovely teacher, Hanna-Kaisa Kousa... Look at how she reminds them everything they have
to do today, Wednesday, using pictures... By the way, "uinti" in
Finnish is swimming pool.
So they started to review some things from the
previous class with their book.
Look at the book they have! Seems hard... isn’t
it?

What I also have seen is the present they are
preparing, by the mother's day… Do you have done yours? Well, here is an idea...
Another thing I noticed are the alphabet letters... Do you find some of them strange?
Which one of them we don’t have in our alphabet?
Perhaps the letter "Mm"?
Perhaps the letter "Vv"?
They have sung a beautiful song and made also a
dance, before they went out to the pool. I leave a small fragment...

Both the pool and the carriage are free of
charge for all of them. They go four times a year and after the pool, certainly, came
the sauna, so when they have finished they have been relaxed and hungry...
Before letting them, they wanted to make a
picture with Sven... and he is delighted with commanding children’s attention and
playing for a while with children...

They have eaten everything, as I do, that I had
second helpings of the dish, so good was the rice... It was not paella but it
tasted DELICIOUS!
The truth is that today we have done everything
under the sun. Children stopped us in the corridors and asked us many things. The
youngest ones, I don’t understand them because up to nine years they don’t
begin to study English, but the rest of the school I do... they ask me a lot about
my school, my students, Sven...
This group of 3rd has put me a lot of questions
about you... Through our website I have taught them some of the photos that you
have, and they would be glad to meet you...

Do you want to see some craftworks that they have
painted? THEY ARE IMPRESSIVE! In case our youngest children want to do any of
them...
By the way, we already have our presents
displayed at the entrance of the school, in one of the glass cabinets... I loved seeing the flag of Spain!
After lunch and rest, (at 11 in the morning,
which for us is really really early,) they had P.E. and how did Sven enjoy playing
with the children and all the material they used...
At the end he wanted to play with everything so
he has been made a mess on the ropes of the Pavilion, thank goodness I was
there to help him...
At the last minute, while Sven was resting
slightly, I've played badminton with the girls from 6th, yes, you read it well,
girls, only girls, because it is a class that is divided and while the guys are
doing maths, girls do physical education, and then they change. Here the
divisions are more flexible and if teachers agree they don’t have to justify
anything more...

As I have told you before, today has been a very
fun and full day... At the way back, as the bus arrived the pupils from the school who came with
their bikes, were waving us and asked me when we were going to enter their
class… By the way, tomorrow I have to teach English to the 6th group... I am
going to tell them about you... I will tell you.

Sven and I already have our bus pass, as the inhabitants of Lahti

On the way
back, making good use of the Sun, we’ve approached to see ski jumps in Lahti as
they are very famous, and the whole city is very happy because in 2017 will be
organized here the ski jumps world games... Also they have put a counter in the city to know
the days remaining for the event...
It’s very modern. Above you can see the days
missing to be Lahti the world capital of this winter sport.
Now it’s closed and there is no snow, but in
winter it must be incredible. Here you are two links so you can have an idea
how impressive is all this... Both videos are awesome, I recommend them.
Falls I do not come next year, I have already
done some photos to show to my Friends.

And looking closely, will not be missing any of the parts and the jumpers
fall while jumping.

As always I leave something unsaid; but here is so late and I get up every morning at 5:00 A.M.
Next time I will tell you how I saw the Hockey team training...
Good night and ....¡Read a lot!
