Seven School Wonders

Once a year we have a winter-sports day at school. This year it was February 15^th.  During that day we only do sports. It is a lot of fun. If it’s cold enough and there’s snow on the ground we can go ice-skating or crosscountry skiing. Both ice-skating and crosscountry skiing are very popular winter-sports in Finland. And in Laajasalo where we live we have it’s easy to do both because the nature is really near us.

This year the winter was quite warm (thanks to global warming) and we didn’t have much snow, so instead, we got to choose if we wanted to go to downhill skiing or stay at school and learn African dances and do gymnastics. We really liked the African dances, it was great fun. So this year, the winter-sports day was a bit different compared to the sports days of the previous years.
