Hello all the children in class 1 and the teacher!

We got your beautiful presents! Thank you! Pictures are now on the wall, you will get a picture of that. The photo of the children was very good. Now we know who is who. Question number one: What is this country and the flag?

Ii is near OULU.
These people are celebrating their independence day on 6.12. They will put two candles near the windows and they'll eat together.

I know how to count in Finnish 1,2,3,4,5 . It goes like this YKSI, KAKSI, KOLME, NELJÄ, VIISI.

I have eaten Finnish ginger breads, small biscuits. Here is the recipe:

Best biscuits

1 dl syrup
2 teespoons cinnamon
1 "-" peppar
1 "-" cloves
1-2 teespoon ginger
200 g butter
1 dl sugar
1 egg
1 dl cream
7 dl flour
1 teespoon soda

1) bring to a boil syrup and spices
2) mix butter and sugar
3) add spices to butter and sugar mix
4) add egg and cream and flours with soda
you need different molds
5) bake in 200 degrees about 7-10 min

Who is this man and his friend?

I'm going to swim with the children on tuesday to Kemi. It is 60 km from Ii to north.

All the best!
Love, UGO
