We have just finished our last day at school in Sweden and it was a really hard day. We went on an hours coach ride to a pool like the Water Palace and spent all day there.We even had our lunch there. There was a 3 metre and a one metre diving board, party pool, and also a wave pool, slides, jaccuzi, sauna, competion pool and steam rooms. Then we came back to school on the coach-its been such a hard day.
Last night we put on a party for all of our hosts that we stayed with or people that are coming back to England. We played lots of games and made all the food. During the day yesterday we visited Gothenberg to see some of the famous sights. We saw a statue of the fisherman's wife, the Crown house, a statue of King Gustav Adolf, a statue of Poseidon, the fish church(Harry thought it was smelly), the lipstick building and the Crown castle. We had lunch in the foreign plants garden and some of us had a trip on the river.
After that we went shopping for ourselves and our families and Richard bought himself a Barbie. You get into Gothenberg on a bus and a tram. Now we are going off to write our diaries and watch some video that we have made at Mr. Corder's house.

Today we did P.E in the gym with a special P.E teacher called Ralf - he used to be a international runner. We played football, basketball, bandi and a version of benchball. Their gym is gigantic. It is three times as big as our junior hall.
Tonight we are performing a play on stage for all of the classes parents and MAYBE we will show you our Oscar winning performance when we get back instead of presents.
Tomorrow we are going on a city tour of Gothenburg and going shopping for presents.
In the evening we are giving a party for the families that are looking after us. We are so busy tomorrow we won't be able to send an e-mail to you.
Today was a really hard day in school. We started school late today-at nine o'clock (English time eight o'clock). While you were working, we were playing in the woods. We w--a--l--k--e--d a long way out into the forest and did a physical quiz in teams with the Swedish children. Then some of us made dough for bread, some of us made rose petal soup, some of us collected wood for the fire and some of us rehearsed plays. Then we had a barbecue and cooked our own bread and hot dogs. Then we staggered our way back to school to send this email back to you.
Hi to everyone. We have just finished our first day in school. We started at 8am and finished at 1.40pm. We are all having a great time
and we have made lots of new friends. To start with we did introduction games with the two year 5 classes, 5a and 5b. They are a year older than us. They gave us a guided tour of the school. Then we taught them the Shopping game. Then we had bamba (school dinner) and went out to play. The last lesson we all did different English activities. When we finish writing this e-mail we will go to Mr. Corder's house to write our diaries. Tomorrow we are all going into the woods for a barbeque and outdoor lessons.
We have finished school while you are still out in the playground.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
