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.

Whiskey sounds very well. Do you go round the neighbours on Halloween? Do you tell jokes? Do you sing songs? Do you get sweets like we do?

Hi everyone!!! We have read all your questions and are preparing our answers, and questions for you. It takes a little time since we are beginners at English.

In L6A we are very appreciative of the fact that you are communicating with us in a foreign language and very impressed! The children in L6A are learning French - perhaps Halge will go to a French lesson and report back on what he learned.....
