Activity: A Day In My Life

My schoolday

At school mornings I wake up at seven o`clock. I put on my clothes, eat breakfast and get ready for school. At 7.30 I go to school by bus. My schoolway is 6-7 kilometers, so I have a free schooltransport.

The school starts every day at 8. TodayI have first two hours home-economic. We bake or make food. I like home-economic very much!

Here is some pictures of our teacher and home-economic class

The next lesson is maths and then we count. Usually we get home- works after every lesson. We also have a lot of tests! We get school reports twice a year: in December and in May- before the holidays .

Between here we have a short brake. In the mean time we move to the next class room. Then we have Finnish. We read, write stories practise grammar, drama and every other sectors of Finnish. We do a lot of exercises!

Pupils sit on the floor and stools waiting on teachers.They speak with friends,do the home-works they`veforget and things like that.This picture of my class istaken before the lesson.

The lunchbreak is 45 minutes.We have free food in school. During the break the pupils must stay in the school.

The next lesson is English. We have it three times a week. I alsohave extra-english a double lessononce a week. There learn we morethings than in a normal english. Wealso have to study swedish three times a week, too! And if we will,can we study Germany, French orSpanish too.

The 13th December is Lucia-day Wearing a white gown with a red sash and a crown of candles on her head, she walks holding a candle. The girls sing a Lucia song while entering the room.

We have voted pupils of every class to the student association. There they have a possibility to take part of making decissions in things.They have an own room, which is called ”the pink room”.
