Christams picnic

Our Comenius team will go to Tarsi farm to have an outdoor Christmas picnic. We will depart from the school at 3.30pm. Everybody is asked to take a torch or a lantern with you. Our plan is to have a walk in the bog with lanterns (sounds extreme!), make a bonfire, fry sausages, drink Christmas glöggy* and play games.

We will continue meeting every Thursday next year in January. Seasonal greetings to everybody!

* spiced hot juice with dried berries and nuts

Today we continued creating water dictionary-glossary, but first we watched a  video about lighthouses in Galicia. Signe, Regina, Anu, Gerda, Larsen, Johannes, Kenet, Marten, Sten and Kaarel  managed to translate all 25 questions with multiple answers into English. Students had brought handmade Christmas cards. Some of them we will send to our partner schools. Thank you all for your contribution.
