School starts at 9.00 in the morning and

We play football and basketball outdoors. If it
rains, we play games, such as “have tomato”, it is a hand clapping game and we
sing while we play.
We play football, talk with friends, walk around the field, build snow castles in the winter, swing, climb and we read for tests.

However, we are celebrating carnival at school on Friday 28th in the afternoon. We are wearing costumes and making a sports circuit. There is special
food and we eat a lot. A lot of people celebrate carnival
in our city. We love carnival!
We celebrate Valentine’s Day in Finland with all our friends. At school we play a game called secret friends and we have hug hearts, we have a dance.
