Looking forward to see you again

Hi!
I am curious to see who's place I am going to stay at and I really look forward to come to Italy and see you all again.
Here we have really cold weather and we have around twenty centimeter snow on the ground. I even think they expect more snow this week.
But soon it is the the “Cream bun-day”. Then we eat this fat cream buns with cream, marzipan and other fat things. And than we all get happier (and fatter).

My best wishes to you all, and to Daniela and Francesca who stayed at my place when you were here. See you soon.

Moa

Comedius meeting!

I had a great time when they were here and I miss them already!
The funniest thing was the disco that we hade friday evening. At first, no one was dancing, except me and Annie who made a so called dance. Then, a few more started to dance after a while. Me and my friends tried to make them who didn't dance to dance! I hope that everyone had fun, I know that I did. The funniest thing on disco was when Pietro started to kiss almost every girls on their cheeks! He started with me, and then he went on with the other girls. The music on the disco could have been better, but it was fun anyway. We learned the Italian boys to say ”Öl” (beer) and ”Schtegarn” (it is a swedish word, and I don't have a clue what it means, but it is a name for a person, that I know). It was so boring to say goodbye to everybody. It was so fun to get to know them, and I hope that we can keep in touch. And I learned so much english, and some bad french words. Hehe. I hope that I someday can go to their countries and visit them.
Hugs and kisses,
Sara

Hello everybody!

I had a great time last week. It was very fun and I've learned much. It was very nice to meet new people and speak english with each other. One day we went to Kalvö-Lindö-Trossö with Donalda (a boat), we saw cows and flowers and we builed sandcastles, and some of us took a swim! On friday, the last day with everybody, was the best (Not becouse it was the last day!) I had so fun, and it was then i started to talk with all people. We danced, laughed and learned the Italian boys swedish words...I've got lovely pictures on that! And a video...xP

I miss all of you<3
I want to send a message to Pietro, the boy who lived in my house with my family. You're a great friend and I hope we see each other again! And all the others that I talked with!

Remember: Stegarn!!;)

I cant remember all names but I remember the persons and the happenings I want to.
Well, I remember when Anna, Daniela and Maria-Chatarina(?) (sorry, I don't remember you from the hotel. :( ) taught us the funny words.
When we were eating pizza at Piva's (Hertigen).
When we talked in the small groups on Friday, Stefano you are funny! =D
When we took all the pictures outside the canteen when we had the big dinner.
And many more memories.
I miss you and I really want to go to in Italy and see how you live, because you have just seen how we live.

/Anna, Teacher at Tanum

It's nice to have the Italian here.
We went to Sandefjord and picked them up from the flight. And when we were in Norway we shopped and went to the whale-museum. And when we have done that we went to Colour Line and went home to Sweden.
Yesterday we were in Ranebo and play football and “Brännboll”. We also walk a walk with questions. The questions were in Swedish and they were hard to translate.
Later that day we went to Tanum Strand, and swam or played golf. It was very fun.
Today the Italians danced all morning, and later, after lunch, they went to Vitlycke. It's our rock carvings. We Swedish pupils have ordinary lessons.
And later it's disco!

Bye bye

Dance

Now the Italians are here and today the Italians danced with our class, half of the eight-graders. We danced “American Walk” and an other dance that I don't know the name of. It was really fun, at least I thought so, :)
Well, it is still some days left, and today it is a disco (only for the Italians and the Swedish students who has an Italian at their home), :)

Short Story Competition

Here is another entry to the Short Story Competition!
Written by Aleksi Hämäläinen 15 years, Finland,

This is an old poem
from time with no phone

People were living with animals,
of course people had lots of pals

But there were men who were so bad,
hunting down every cat

Hunted down every cow
reindeer, bear and more cow

Then these guys, luckily found him.
And took his life away from him.

After this, life was good
and cows were again peoples food.

The Czech Republic has joined us!

Happy Easter to all our friends in Europe!

I am glad to tell everybody that the school in Pollicka, Czech Republic has now created 2 different blogs! Click on the links to the left to find out what they are up to!

show-bizz

When we came in, Matilda have sing the ending song Joyfull Joyfull. After some secounds have every body come in on the stage and sing and dance too.

Today have they been in Strömstad and look at some musical that they can get inspiration from. The name of the musical was ''A bed of roses'' it was the new version of Romeo and Juliet.
When thay have come back to school, have they eat lunch! It was pizza, yummie!
After that heve they train on their own musical. For exempel on the Madonna medley and endingsong.

It's good to have show-bizz as a extra lesson, because you can sing and dance. You can do that you love to do, and know many new peoples.

Happy Easter!

Easter Bunny

In Sweden we are really good to copy American things, like Haloween and Santa. We have taken the Easter Bunny from the Americans too. An Easter Bunny is a bunny, almost always yellow. The bunny gives the children painted eggs.
Every year the Easter Bunny comes to Lunden in Grebbestad and hide eggs in the wood, and the chlidren must look them up. And to the children it is always fun, even if they done many years before.

The Cave

Today I am travelling to a small village near Tanum. The village is famous for the painting in the caves. The paintings probably come from prehistoric ages.
When I am coming to the cave with a group of visitors I can see eight paintings in the cave and historic atmosphere is all around me.
When I see the first of the drawing, I feel strange, I feel like I am transporting to old times. Suddenly, I am really there. I am somewhere in a primeval forest. There are twenty people hunting a mammoth. Luckily, they do not see me, I do not look like them. They wear fur clothes and I have a T-shirt and jeans which really do not look like prehistoric clothes.
I turn round and there are other people dancing around a fire. They worship some gods.
Then I see some footprints. They ed somewhere near the river and there are a big ship. Suddenly, I feel bad. I feel dizzy and after a few seconds I am standing back in the cave.
The tour guide shouts at me: “Come on, you are late”
Was it only a dream or reality?

Once

On a prehistoric day children played with a ball. They had a lot of fun, but the chief of the group said:“You can’t played here, because you are making a lot of noise. Men must go hunting and they need silence to concentrate.
Then the men went hunting. Their weapons were spears and bows. They went very silently and they saw a big flock of animals. They threw their spears and shot arrows. Two antelopes were killed and one antelope was hurt. A man called Oleg had a good idea. He told his idea to his friend: “I’ll help this antelope and I’ll tame it. If it is tamed it will help me with some work.“
Oleg’s friend agreed and helped Oleg with taming the antelope. They were successful and it was how people started to keep animals.

PETER’S STORY

Peter is a young boy. Last month he was twelve. He gets up in the morning and goes to school by the school bus. When he arrives back home, he does his homework. Then he sits to the computer and plays games the whole afternoon.

One day he tried a new game. It was about the age when people lived in caves to these days. Peter was at the beginning the game. He “played” the primeval ages.

But suddenly he turned round in a circle and there was darkness everywhere around him. Then he appeared on a meadow close to a forest. Peter did not know where he was. He saw some people on the other side. He went to them, but he saw they had dark brown skin and had almost no close on. They were very dirty. Then he realized he was in his computer game. In the primeval ages!

Then the people noticed him. They ran to the strange person in jeans and a sweatshirt. They touched him but were afraid of him. They had never seen anything like that. Peter talked to them in English and was very surprised when they understood him.

He went with other children and played some strange games. But one of the games was very similar to contemporary volleyball. They had to look after some geese while they were playing. Then they went to a village where Peter‘s new friends lived. While they were going there they saw a man ploughing a field and some men hunting stags for the dinner. People from the village welcomed Peter very friendly. He tasted their food.

In the night Peter could not sleep. He got up and made a fire. Suddenly he heard a noise coming from the forest. Peter went to those sounds. They were very mysterious. He came in front of the forest, but he did not want to go in. finally, as he was very curious, he entered. He saw a lot of footprints made by at least two hundred people.

He followed the footprints and after a short time he saw about two hundred people. They were inhabitants of a near village. The problem was that they were enemies and wanted to attack Peter’s village. He observed what they were doing. The enemies were getting ready for the attack. Peter returned to his village and saw that the whole village was sleeping. In that moment he knew there was no chance. His village will be destroyed and everyone will die. While Peter was thinking what to do, it started to dawn. Suddenly Peter got an idea. He ran back to the crowd in the forest and shouted: “Stop! Don’t attack! Stop!” The people saw him and stared. They thought he was a God. He was so different and the sun was coming from behind Peter. Peter said: “Don’t do it. You can‘t destroy the village. Or it will end badly for you.” The enemies were confused. Then they turned and went home.

Then Peter saw the darkness around him again and suddenly he sat in his chair in front of his computer. He has never seen his friends from primeval age again but he knew had saved their village and their lives. They never forgot about him and told stories about him for hundreds of years later.

Giant Valibul

Once upon a time on an island, where very huge giants lived, a baby giant called Valibul was born. He was a very nice baby and his parents loved him very much. That is why he had a happy childhood. He played with other small giants. Once they were doctors and another time dustmen. He was a normal giant child.
When Valibul was a teenager, he decided he would be a vegetarian. But there was a very big problem, because other giants ate only meat. You must knot that. Can you imagine that if the giant is vegetarian he must eat trees and nothing else, because other plants are small for him? But the real problem was that in few days he ate all the trees in their garden. His parents told him he could come back home only if he would start eating meat. So he had to leave his home. For about one week he was sleeping in a forest not far from his home, but he knew it was not good for his health. That is why he decided leave home island and move to a neighbouring one.
On the sekond island it was very similar story. In a short period of time he ate every tree he saw. He was moving very frequently. When he ate the last tree on the last island, he did not have any food to eat. There was only one way to survive. He had to eat meat again, so he started hunting animals.
Now he could come back home. His parents were very happy about him and he was very happy he was again with the family.

Elks on a Trip

One day some elks were feeding on grass but suddenly they saw a ball flying and a man followed this ball. The elks looked very surprised because they did not know people.
A few minutes later two brave elks decided to follow the strange man. When they came to the sea shore they saw a ship and they decided to jump to it. The stranger was one of the Vikings, who sailed to other countries. The Vikings thought: 'The meat of elks is delicious,' and they kept the elks on the board of the ship.
The Vikings discovered Greenland and then they sailed further to the west. They had enough food so they did not to kill the elks and that was why the elks travelled with the Vikings further to the west.
One day the ship reached the coast of America. The Vikings set up a colony called Newfoundland there. The elks decided to stay in new country as well. The elk population grew. That is how the elks got to America and have lived there since. If you travel to some national parks in both the Yukon and the Northwest Territories, you will see the elks there.
