Finnish Visitors





























Today we had some Finnish visitors. Our visitors were a bit older than us. They were about 12 to 13 years old. They were really good at English. And we learned some Finnish.

Today we played loads of games with the Finnish school. Everyone thought this was really fun. They were really good at a lot of the games, and they seemed really sporty. We taught them a lot of Scottish games, while they taught one Finnish one .

After we had played a lot of games we had half an hour to just play normally with them by ourselves. That was when we got to know a lot of them. Most of our class made some new friends. The girls just walked around and talked but the boys had a game of football.

Then we all went in from lunch. There was a really nice lunch today. It was Italian style so we had a lovely pizza and pasta selection for our guests.

After lunch we got people's email address and then went back outside and the Finnish people had a surprise for us ......... they very kindly gave us about 9 packets of Finnish sweets. Some people liked them but others didn't. They tasted like liquorice.

And then they all had to go. When they left some of girls were nearly crying, all the boys were shaking hands and the girls were giving hugs. And the Finnish people were taking loads of photos.

So today was a really busy, fun and sad :( :) day :( :)
