We don´t have any festivals in Sweden. But we eat a speial bun on " Fat Tuesday". It is a bun filled with cream and almond paste. And it tastes great!

Today we have had a fun day in school. We have worked with recycling.

We were in groups and we had to decide what to make out of

100 tyres,

50 jeans and 50 sweaters,

100 chairs,

50 dustbins,

50 old TV-sets,

50 plastic toys and 50 cuddly toys,

100 books or 50 bikes.

We had a lot of ideas how to recycle all these things. What abbout you, do you have any suggestions?

We´ll tell about our suggestions next Friday!

It's carnival time

Today it's Shrove Tuesday. Many people wear masks and costumes. Look at us in the photo.
We eat doughnuts on this day. They're good, usually have marmelade inside.

There is a smaller carnival in our town centre in the afternoon. We are there too.








In our country there are some traditional costumes and masks, for example "kurenti".
They're quite scary, but people say that they call the spring. Kurents are dressed in wool and they've got big and noisy bells.








We all like this tradition.
Do you celebrate the same?

Winterholiday


Next week we are onn winterholiday. There are a lot of snow so we can ski. It is cold and we have big ice to go skating or play icehockey one.

Here is a picture from our "outdoorday" some week ago.

You have winter holiday in Slovenia too, Ingrid told our teacher, when they met in Seville. What about Romania?

After our winter holidays it will be fun to write a story together.

Thanks for the beautiful owl. It helps us all to become wise.
