Halge's week with Eilidh

2008-06-03T05:18:00.000-07:00

On the 22nd of March 2008 Helge and I went to the festival of dance. This is a festival that celebrates Scottish Country Dancing and the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society which teaches people of all ages how to dance. Scottish Country dancing is one of my hobbies and I enjoy it very much. When we arrived there I had to put on a special costume which is a white skirt and a tartan top, unfortunately there wasn’t one small enough for Helga! Soon the festival began. There was wonderful music composed especially for Scottish country dancing and lots of fun. On most of the dances everybody danced at the same time but some of the dances were demonstration dances. Demonstration dances are when one group chooses a dance they have been learning at their lessons and performs it in the centre of the hall. It soon was time for my demonstration dance called Clutha. I had been practicing it a lot and was ready to perform it with the rest of my group. It went really well and I’m sure Helge enjoyed watching it. Soon it was time for Helge and I to go home.

The next day it was Easter! In Scotland we celebrate Easter by giving rolling chocolate eggs down a hill and then eating them. Today my mum, my dad, my brother Cameron, my granny, my grandad, Helge and I went to Falkland palace to roll our Easter eggs. It was great fun and Helge enjoyed it too!

Dougal's week with Halge

2008-04-22T04:46:00.000-07:00

The week when I got Halge we went mountain biking and rock climbing and we really enjoyed it. On Wednesday we canoed down the South Esk River and that was about five or six miles. On Thursday Halge and I did Mountain Boarding. By the end of the day Halge and I had a lot of cuts and bruises! On the last day of Ancrum we went with the older people and went to St. Andrews beach and went blow carting. It was really windy. On that same day we went to my friend Cameron’s party for a sleepover and it was great fun. On Sunday we started getting ready for school the next day. We were also getting prepared for going to Dalguise on the Friday 25th April. Halge REALLY enjoyed staying with me.

Ross' week with Halge

2008-04-01T00:40:00.000-07:00

During my week with Ross I had quite an adventure . On Monday Ross had his Judo grading ,and with me squashed up in his bag he passed his third promotion. On Tuesday morning Ross and I experienced a car crash. Thankfully we were alright and managed to get to school on time. On Wednesday Ross passed a Karate grading aswell as Judo. He also made me play his guitar,which was quite hard due to it being 10 times my size. I even held a samurai sword. On Thursday Ross told me that he had a hard day but very soon we would be meeting Mark Beaumont [I want to meet Ted Bear.] On Friday ,after school, Ross saved me from Fergus [his dog.]

Glad Påsk på er allihop!!!

2008-03-13T03:36:00.001-07:00

I have had a great week with Halge.On Saturday I took Halge on my bike down some jumps in a forest next to my house.Halge had a shot down a really steep track and the bike falled off the track but Halge was fine.We have a tarzan swing next to our house and Halge jumped on to it and had a swing on it.

On Sunday Halge got really board and found my N64 (Nintendo 64). He played on the N64 and he was on it for ages. Halge then went outside and then played on the Tarzan swing (again), he fell off and hurt her leg. It was late so he went in and played the N64 again.It was about 10:00p.m. So he went to bed.

My week with Hilda and Natalie

2008-03-04T01:44:00.000-08:00

Hello Dundee! Today we publish a text that almost has´nt been moderated so that you can see how a Swedish pupil writes. Now, Hilda is not the average student, she is really good at English/Mrs Ulvelid.

This week I have felt like a king, and now you will find out why…

In Monday we go home after school and it was nice weather! We decided to have a picnic. We going home to Natalie and find sum biscuits, cookies and lemonade, and they call it “saft”! We go home to Hilda, five houses away and take a basket and a blanket. Then we go up to a small mountain back Hilda’s house. We find a good place to have our picnic on!

Before... I want to eat all the good things!

After… Take me away!

After the evening we drink sum fruit drink.

On Tuesday morning we go to the school and it whas cold! So I borrow a cap.
In the school we have a usual day. We have Swedish and I learn to say “köttben” (meat bone) and “tankbil” (tank truck)! After school I go home to
Hilda’s mum and Natalie goes another way. So she doesn’t go with us. When
we were home Hilda does her homework and I look at TV. When Hilda was ready she looks at TV with me. We look at “The Simpson’s”! Then I went to bed.

On Wednesday it was cold! I go to the school and it reining! So I have my new cap and I be not whet! This was a really funny day! Because first we have English! At last I understand something! Then we have music, and I was with Hilda and play trumpet! It sounds funny! We have break and everything was usually. We eat steak, pasta and carrot sauce. On afternoon we have P.E. we have boxing.
Then Hilda, Natalie and I go home to Hilda and Hilda takes hers handball clothes on her. I and Natalie play with Hilda’s hand- and foot-balls.

On Thursday we go to the school as usual. We have math and break. Then we have English! I learn the kids ho to say Ester! They call it “påsk”!
We eat chicken soap and then we have afternoon break. Then we have history and we play a theatre about the Viking age… they was wery good! Then we go home to Natalie. I wanted to go out! But it was raining… I sit in Natalie’s window and dream about the sun was shining! But later I and Natalie go and put on taekwondo clothes and Natalie and I go to the club house.

On Friday we have music again! So I sit with Natalie and the other clarinets this time. Bus now everybody was in the same room! So I heard weary many instrument at the same time! Then we have Swedish and finished up things. We have craft. I was with Natalie and have hand craft and Hilda has wood craft. Natalie does a worm in fabric. Then I go home to Hilda but Natalie has Persian studies and Natalie came after. It was just one little secret… I have practiced to play the piano the whole week and now I shall play for all the cuddly toys and I take my hat and sun-glasses on me!

Then I sleep in Hilda’s house. Next day Hilda was sick…L I was home the hold looong weekend and take care of Hilda. But I was Hilda’s doctor and have a doctor-bag with many strange things.

Now you know why I felt like a king this week! Now I shall have a nice next week with Liv and Ida B!
Bye bye!

Hello everyone in Dundee!

2008-02-27T01:17:00.000-08:00

I just want to tell you that Whisky has been very busy and that I have several students working on their texts. You know, it is hard and it takes time for the students to write in English since it is quite new to them.
Now, I want to tell you about a small incident the other day involving Whisky:
One of the girls in the other class 4 had had a terrible accident. She had fallen and hit her head in one of the stairs cases and she was bleeding a lot. Her father came to school and we were waitng for the ambulance to arrive. We were all (two teachers, one bleeding Ella and a father) jammed in to a small bathroom right inside the door to the teachers´lounge. I had taken care of Whisky during the break because Sarah, who was bringing Whisky on the holiday, was playing outside. Suddenly the door flung open and Sarah shouted in to the lounge: DO YOU HAVE WHISKY HERE? I shouted back: ON THE BENCH! You can imagine the look on dad´s face!! We all had a good laugh after a small explanation.
Hope everything is fine with you all! Mrs Ulvelid.

Alasdair's sporting week with Halge

2008-02-06T07:53:00.001-08:00

On Saturday 26th January I got up at 5.30 am, put Helga in my bag and set off for the Scottish Schools Swimming Championship in Glasgow. I had a good day and you can see Helga in the photo beside the 10 lane, 50 metre pool at Tollcross, which will be used for the Commonwealth Games when they come to Glasgow. When we left the pool it was dark and it took us more than an hour to find our hotel in East Kilbride because we got lost. We had to stop and ask directions in a pub which went silent when we walked in…scary.

There is another photo of Helga in the hotel room. We had just enough time to go for a swim and sauna before we had our dinner.

The next day I took Helga to the west of Scotland table tennis championships where I was competing. Although I was very tired from the day before I played quite well and had a couple of good games before playing the 14 year old Irish champion. Helga enjoyed this game as it was quite close, although I lost narrowly in the end. It was great to watch so many good players and I think Helga enjoyed it too!

Whiskys week with Johanna and Sofia

2008-02-04T03:19:00.000-08:00

On Monday I went home to Sofia. I didn´t do so much but i was bored so I fell a sleep in 2 sec . When I Was awake I was in Sofia´s school bag and I was in the school again, sad:'(
On Tuesday I went home to Johanna and played videogame. We played Guitar hero. I really liked to play and want to do it again! I liked Slow Ride the best.

Johannas favorite food is lasagna and I also enjoy it.

On Wednesday we whent to something they called "Ruddalen". It is ice! I did not skate because I did´nt want to have snow in my fur but it was fun to come home and rest after.

January has been extremely stormy and rainy in Sweden. On Thursday when we went home to Johanna we had to lean against the wind to come home. It is also very warm for the season. We found flowers that should not bloom until May. I was bored again so I fell a sleep when I came home.

On Friday Sofia went home to Johanna and played on the computer and danced but I was in my dreams and I was king of the world!!! When I woke up I was sad that the dream was not true :'(

My week with Johanna and Sofia

2007-12-17T03:32:00.000-08:00

Monday: I went home with Sofia. She took me to her room and we danced and watched TV.

Tuesday: We had breakfast and I tasted Sofia´s sandwich and got a plate of milk and then we went to school. In the afternoon we went home to Johanna and listened to music.

The next day in school we had P.E. This day it was gymnastics. It was fun to watch. Johanna likes to stand on her hands. What do you call that in English?

Thursday: This day we went on a school trip to a town on the west coast of Sweden called Uddevalla. We went to a museum there. It was far, we went by bus and I got tired and took a nap. In the museum we first went on a quiz. It was very hard questions. The museum is about our region on the west coast, both historical and about nature. We packed lunch and we ate at the museum. We had a guide in the museum. The bus trip home went fine but on the tram I, Samuel, Max, John and Sofia missed that the others went off so we had to go to the next stop. Embarrassing... Here is a page you can watch about the museum. http://www.bohusmus.se/bohusmus/wwwbohusmus/utland/engelsk.htm

Every day in class I work really hard. I have my own books. On wednesdays and on fridays we have class orchestra. In fourth grade all student choose an instrument, a brass instrument. Johanna plays the clarinette and Sofia plays the flute. On wednesdays they practise the instrument and on fridays it is the whole class.

I had a really nice time with the girls. Say hi to Hälge from me/ Whisky

Heather G's week with Halge.

2007-12-17T00:03:00.000-08:00

On Monday 5th November Halge and I went to see fireworks. Before we set out Halge got warm by curling up with my cat Biddy. Then we all put hats and gloves on and ventured out to watch the fireworks display. There is a poem that we say on bonfire night:

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

We saw lots of different colourful fireworks like Catherine Wheels and rockets. In the middle of the display we had sparklers and glow sticks. All fun has to come to end and soon enough we headed home. Halge and I thought it was absolutley brilliant.

Halge at the remembrance day parade

2007-12-11T00:49:00.000-08:00

On Friday 9th November 2007 The High School of Dundee held their Remembrance Day Parade. Halge sat and watched the parade from the classroom window. This is what he saw: The cadets marched on, followed by the pipes and drums and Halge loved the sight even altghough he was watching from a distance. The cadets were all lined up and the Sergent Major gave an order for the colours to be presented. The Pipe Band then played Highland Cathedral. A poppy reef was presented by Alice Burnet and Duncan Leese and the head boy and girl. There was a two minute to allow us all time to think about the many people who gave their lives in the first and second world wars. It is also a time to think about other wars being fought today. The minister said a prayor. The Sergent Major dismised all of the pipes and drums and the cadets. All of the other High School pupils quietly walked back to their classrooms.Lots of people wore a poppy as a mark of respect. In 1918 gun shots died down in Belgum France and Germany marking the end of the First World War. After four years of fighiting more than 20 million men and woman were dead. World War Two began on the ist September 1939 . World WarTwo was the most blood sheading war ever and a tough war for the United Kingdom.

Christmas in Sweden, I like....

2007-12-04T01:29:00.000-08:00

This week, week 48, I am with Sarah and Ida C. On monday asternoon we first did our homework.
Then we ate fish sticks and pasta and then watched TV. We watched Disney Channel.
On Tuesday I went to the shop to by some food and in the evening we had a candle party at Ida´s house. A person came and sold candles and there were a loy of guests there.
On Wednesday I went with Sarah and we did our homework. It was geography, we study Sweden in fourth grade. And we ate Beef stroganoff for dinner.
Thursday.
Ida went home from school today. She did not feel well.
Friday
At school we had an Advent assembly in our assembly hall. We sang songs and lit candles. We cleaned Ida´s house and put up first advent lights. We celebrate Advent in Sweden. We have a candle stick with four candles. Four Sundays before Christmas Eve we light the first candle

and then we light a new candle every Sunday until Christmas. Advent means arrival. We also put electric lights in the windows and stars as well.
Saturday
I go to Gislaved to meet Ida´s cousins
Mimmi and Kajsa. Gislaved is in Småland in Sweden. It takes about an hour to drive there. We went to Grandma and ate gingerbread cookies and drank glögg. Glögg is a traditional Christmas drink almost like glüwein. After that we went to Ida´s cousins house. All the parents went to a party and grandma babysat. We played cards.
On Sunday we went home and get Ida´s leggings because Sarah and Ida were going to had a dance performance. They were fantastic. After that there were more glögg, a party at Sarah´s house. That is a huge tradition in Sweden; glögg parties!!! Since it is alcohol in the glögg, we drank julmust, that is sooo good. Julmust is a softdrink brewed in Sweden for ages. It sells more than Coca-Cola in Sweden which is very annoying for them....

Answers and questions from Sweden

2007-11-13T01:34:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone in L6a!!!
At halloween we dress up as scary things as ghosts, vampires, witches and more just like you.We knock on other families doors and says "bus eller godis". That means trick or treat in Swedish. We do not have to do any tricks to get candy. That is a part of the tradition we have missed.

We put ligths on the graves because we think that on All Hallows Eve the dead leave their graves to say hi and it is important that they find their way back. We do not want them to wander around other evenings of the year.

Here is some typical Swedish food:

Breakfast (frukost): We eat bread with cheese or ham (and some other stuff that is hard to explain). We drink milk or juice. A lot of people eat yoghurt and cereals.

Lunch (lunch) We eat cooked lunch in school everyday. Sometimes we get fish and potatoes with a sauce and vegetables.

Dinner at home (middag) could be meatballs and mashed potatoes with sauce and lingonberry jam.

You will hear more about this following Whisky´s adventures.

Our Autumn holiday is for one week, always week 44 when it is All Hallows Eve on the Friday that week.

Summer Holiday is for ten weeks, from middle of june to the end of August.

The weather today: THE FIRST SNOW CAME TODAY!!!!!! BIG SNOW FLAKES!!!

Whisky is setteling in

2007-10-31T02:20:00.000-07:00

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

2007-10-31T01:24:00.000-07:00

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.

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.

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!
