Week 10

 

Semel Dagen

This week was “Semel Dagen”.  This year is was  on  Tuesday 11th March.  It is a Swedish tradition and almost everyone eats “semlor”.That is a cake with bread, whipped  cream, almond paste and powdered sugar. You can eat “semlor” in different ways for example plane with nothing on it or you can eat it with warm milk but both are really good. They are really messy. You celebrate Semel Dagen 40 days before Easter on a Tuesday.

VECKANS KLURRING

This week in Swedish we got 2 word problems. The first one was about four sports car owners

and their cars. You were supposed to figure out their whole name, type of car and car colour. The second one was about two painters called Svensson and Bengtsson who were painting a room together and you needed to figure out how long time it would take.

                                     !¡Badminton¡!

Badminton is a game where you play with a feather and not a ball. You have to rackets and it's the fastest ball ( in this case a feather ) sport in the world. Alex and I high score in passing each other was 34!!!!! It was really fun playing badminton. 

Why it is Good to Read

This week we did  a collage that is when you have an old newspaper or a comic book and you cut out what you like and glue it on a paper. So what we did was we cut out words or letters to make words and pasted them on the paper. We had to answer the question why is it good to read.
