Glad Påsk på er allihop!!!

Hi there! Thankyou so much for the lovely Easter cards and the candy. We were really impressed by your Swedish :-)

We just published Whisky´s week with Sarah and it is a bit down in the blog so don´t miss it!!!

We have had a wonderful holiday with a lot of snow (that surprised us a little bit since spring was on the way big time) and sunny days. Hope you all had a nice Easter/ Mrs Ulvelid and class 4B

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

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!

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

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

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 :'(
