Whisky is setteling in



Hi everybody! I´m starting to feel quite at home here in Göteborg now. I´ve spent a lot of time in school and also with the teachers in class 4B. Right now there is autumn holiday in Sweden and the schools are empty. It is All hallows here as well even if there are different ways of celebrating it. (They do dress up here too, but that is really our tradition). Here they light candles on all graves so that everyone in them can find their way back... Here is a picture of me in the empty class room. I miss the children.

The teachers are here working and there a lot of things going on in the school yard since they are building a new school house. There is not much room for the children to play. Here is a picture of me in front of the building site.
Next week the whole school is working with the same theme. Since one of Sweden´s most famous people was born 100 years ago children all around Sweden celebrates this occasion. It is Astrid Lindgren, the famous writer, who wrote Pippi Longstocking and many other books who we are celebrating. More of this next week. I hope you have a good time with Hälga and by the way, I met Buttons yesterday. Tell Mrs Davie´s class that he had a pleasant journey.

Cameron R's week with Halga

Helga and I went to Couper Angus skate board ramp and went skating on my skateboard. We went to my dad's farm and went on all the tractors and all the machines. We went to my new house and helped my dad paint and then we played in the field. We went to my nanny's house and slept over for one night then went home in the morning . We also played in my garden on the swings and on the chute.

Halga spends the weekend with Miss Alexander






Well finally we in L6A can send you news of HAlga and let you know that he is safe and well and enjoying his time in Scotland. His first weekend was spent with Miss Alexander who enjoyed his company and made sure his first few days were good fun. Together we went to the beach and went on a lovely walk along the coast of Fife. We had a picnic stop and Halga enjoyed sandwiches, crisps and chocolate cake! On Sunday Halga kept fit and came on a run with Miss Alexander and Miss Hulbert - we were all exhausted after our run and needed a long rest. Halga went on his first visit to a supermarket. Tescos was very busy on Sunday afternoon but before long the shopping had been done and we were back home. Halga was quite a lazy bear in the evening - he was quite happy to slouch in front of the T.V. and get ready for school the next day.

Whisky has arrived


After a full month he finally arrived. We had almost given up hope to ever see him. He spent the first night at Mrs Ulvelid´s house where he rested after his long journey. We are all so happy that he is here!
So he is now a part of our lives and a part of class 4B at Dala School in West of Göteborg in sweden. This first week he will have time to settle in and then the work and adventure begins for our new friend Whisky!
