Sportlov - Day 1

Our first day of Sportlov started with the kids making friendship wrist bands. They used first rubber loom bands to make the bracelets. It seemed that they all had a lot of experience in making those kinds of bracelets. It was definitely a nice way to start the day.

After that, Narges and Kosma taught them how to make square-knot friendship bracelets. Are you wondering what it is? :-) Take a look at the pictures below and you will be amazed with how beautiful they look!

Square-knot friendship bracelets

What a wonderful work!!!

Our day was just starting. Many of you don't know but Ed has a degree in Fine Arts. Always when he can he is trying to teach the kids some drawing tips. I'll be posting in the near future more of his works. You might have one of his drawings at home. We are always making copies of them so the children can colour them and have fun.

We couldn't miss baking in our first day of course! We baked a very special kind of cookie. A double flavoured cookie. We first did a vanilla dough and then a chocolate dough. We roll the doughs out and cut small little hearts in both doughs. Then we just swapped the hearts to have a beautiful contrast in our cookies. I must confess they were a little bit hard to make, but the results were amazing!

In the meantime, the ones that weren't baking were definitely using their imagination. Summertime memories? :-) 

Well, while summer doesn't come we have fun in the snow. Do you know that Kalle is responsible for the recycling projects in our school? So he really knows how to make fun out of recycling material. This time they built an "igloo". I think it looked absolutely gorgeous. They even had a floor and a roof.

After the igloo was built, they painted it as a great final "touch"

Continuing with the recycling material fun...Samuel had this awesome idea of transforming himself into a robot, YES a paper robot! I can promise you it was funny to watch. And of course we had children who decided to try that later as well.

 And to finish our day, why not tell you some of our fun free times? Do you know what we do when we are on a breaks in our "arbetsrum"? Well, Hayley, our first grade english teacher can really entertain us sometimes. She is a professional Gymnast as well and on these pictures Narges face is priceless!! Enjoy! :-)
