We often go to movies with friends.
Some free days are special. We go to wellness centre Laško and enjoy swimming.
In last months it is popular that some girls have a stayover at the weekends.

Questions from 6. b, Slovenia

• What do you do in your free time?

• What's your favourite music?

Special food in Slovenia

We have some special food. We like štruklji (dumplings), ričet (thick soup with barley), pečenice (frying sausages), žganci (hard-boiled corn mush). We don't like krvavice (black pudding or blood sausages).

Our favourite special food is "potica". It's a walnut roll. We eat this dessert for holidays (specially for Easter and Christmas).
For making it you need: flour, yeast, eggs, nuts, sugar, salt. It's not easy to make it. Grandmothers usually bake it.

Weather in Celje

Spring is here. In Celje we have sunny days with about 13-15 degrees Celsius but still cold mornings (around 0 degrees). We can pick spring flowers like primroses, snowdrops...

Answers from Sweden

How is the weather? Has spring come?

It is still cold and some snow left.

The days use to be grey and damp.

Snowdrops have started to bloom, and if you look carefully, you can see the leaves come on the bushes.

The birds have begun to sing.

Just now I can hear the great titmouse whistle titititi outside the school window.

Do you have any special food?

"Knäcke-bread" is flat, hard bread, that many people eat every day.We have many various kinds of hard bread.

We drink a lot of milk, and many of us have "sour milk" for breakfast.

Pancakes and jam are very popular.

Meatballs, potatoes, sauce and lingonberry jam is a traditional dish.

"Falu-sausage" is a kind of sausage that has its origin from the 1600th century.

In the cupper-mine, in Falun, thay had to kill a lot of oxen/bullocks to use their skin to make ropes of. They also got a loty of meat, and they used it to make a special - very good - sausage. Fried Falu-sausage and mashed potatoes is a very common dish in Sweden.
