Greetings from London, England.

The British people celebrate Mother's Day today, on Sunday 15 March. The whole London is celebrating with nice flowers and small presents. Shops are nicely decorated and parks are full of happy families.

Student exchange.

On the 11th of March our 6th graders changed places with the 6th graders of Palupera school. There were 7 of us in total, while 7 stayed at school. We went to Palupera  without any teachers from our school, so it was a bit scary.

From this trip I learned that people sometimes treat new people with curiousity and that  can be quite confusing being in unknown places with unknown people.

There were no problems in the lessons, even though some students went a little bit too playful.

I liked the fact that  experience was fresh with new teachers. It's good because you can get bored of the ordinary lessons fast.

I didn't like that when we had our first lessons, the 4th and 5th graders opened the door and looked in. It was quite uncomfortable. The rest of the day was all good and nice.

At first I was  scared by the unknown house and people, especially because it was a manor school and the halls were really tight and small. I was also afraid that I'll get lost, what could really happen, beacause inner of the school was  like a maze.  

The 5th graders really should take part of it  next year! The experience was cool and awesome, doesn't matter if you are at a different school with different teachers or at your school with different students.

I’ll write about our English lesson in Palupera basic school.

At first the 9th grade student talked about their parish, manor and school. It was quite interesting. I understood everything. Then we watched a cartoon “Goldilocks and the three bears”. It was a little bit different from the fairy tale. We had to watch it carefully to say if the sentences about the cartoon were true or false. All of us said right answers. We had some time left before the end of the lesson so we  played a computer game named “Wordbird”. We studied nouns in that game. Then the lesson was over. Some of us thought it was easy. Now I can say how was the English lesson in Palupera basic school.

I liked this day.

German journalist visiting our school.

On 25 February our school was visited by a German journalist. His name is Karsten and he is 24 years old. He collects  some material for  German children radio shows. These shows reflect  children's life in different countries. He saw some interesting data about our school in Estonia and so he decided to visit us in Konguta school.

Karsten interviewed  some of our students. He was interested in digital learning days, homework and everyday computer using. He also took part in  year 3 students` programming lesson. In robotics class he saw some works of the boys and girls in the classroom and talked to robotics teacher Tõnis.  He recorded meetings with some students from different classes. I talked to him too, and he was really interested in the fact that I had tried coding a website once and he also asked me will coding be an important thing to know in the future. I thought it would be really important.

The journalist was happy with the meeting, because he got a lot of useful information. Friendly and cool Karsten was also liked by our students.

HAPPY BIRTHDAy, ESTONIA - MY HOMELAND!

Collaborative work of 5th-formers.

Having fun at Valentine`s Day party, Elva Gymnasium.

Let`s fly to the future ......the year 2035.

In 2035 I´ll be 33 years old. I think I´ll be married at that time. I´ll probably have one child. My home will be in a big city because I´m fond of city life. I hope I´ll be a lawyer. In 2035 there will be a lot of different  tablets, computers, phones and other stuff. I think I´ll work at home. My job will be much easier than today because technology will be better and more comfortable than today. I´ll have a car which can also fly, ride on water or turn invisible. I can travel quickly anywhere in the world. I´ll have my own summer cottage. I think life in 2035 will be more technologically than today.

In 2035 I'll be 33 years old. I'll be married and have 4 children. 3 girls and a boy. They will be at the age of 1-10. I'll live in a city, because living in the countryside will be disappearing. I'll be a lawyer and  the owner of a lawyer company. I'll also have a pair of twin-daughters. Being a lawyer won't be much different in 2035. There will be different laws though. Our home will be on the 4th floor in a skyscraper, because I don't like heights. Our flat  or house will have 2 floors, and it' ll have 22 rooms and a huge jacuzzi. Every holiday we'll go on a trip somewhere in the world by our private plane. Written by Timmu (year 6).

In 2035 I´ll be 32 years old. I´ll be married at that time. I´ll probably have two children. I´ll travel by my spaceship to the planet Mandalore. Mandalorian people are more serious than Earth´s people and they´ll have many space vehicles and space stations. I´ll finish The Galactic Academy as a spaceship pilot and as a weapons expert. I´ll  get married there to a Mandalorian woman. I´ll buy a VCX-100 light freighter and a Short-range Corellian shuttle fighter (attaches to the back of the other ship) classes spaceships and travel through the galaxy with my family. After that I´ll work in different places in the galaxy on missions. I´ll stop a lot of conflicts in the galaxy with my missions. When I´ve brought justice and peace to the galaxy, I´ll live with my family on top of a skyscraper on Mandalore. My flat will have a lot of big windows and a landing platform for my ships. My flat will be coloured to plain white, dark red and dark grey. It´ll have a lot of rooms for our needs and we´ll have a personal pool.

Invitation to Valentine`s Day Party from Elva Gymnasium

A home composition written by the 6th-formers

For me, hobby is what you like to do the most in your free time.

My hobby is reading. I like it because I can do it everywhere and everytime. I began reading about seven years ago in  „upper-case letters“. I mostly like adventure stories like „LOTR“, „Eragon“ and „The Hobbit“. I also like sci-fi like „The Hunger Games“ but not so much. I´ve read three books in English. I think reading  is a good activity to everyone. Have a good reading!

My hobby is fishing. Someone thinks fishing is boring.But I think it`s fun.But this activity needs a lot of patience. And it depends on the season.You can catch with lots of things, like spinning or handrod.You can catsh a pike or other fish .But you need good equipment. Go and catch with your own bite.

My hobby is playing computer games. I began playing them five years ago. I only play them at home because we don´t have these computer games in school computers. I usually play every day. My favourite game is Counter- Strike. I play this game on my own computer. I like my hobby very much.

My hobby is dancing. I began dancing six years ago. I dance only at school. Kaie is my dancing teacher. Dancing lessons are twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My favourite dance is Polka. I like to wear national costumes. I like to go to dancing events. Last summer I danced at the dance festival in Tallinn with my schoolmates.  I am seriously interested  in dancing.  Dancing is fun.

A hobby is something someone wants to do in his or her free time. My hobby is reading. I started reading books when I was around 5 or 6. Reading is great, because there are so many books in the world. I usually borrow a book from the library, and when I like it I'm probably going to buy it. I have lots of books at home. You can read almost everywhere. It may take up a lot of your time, but it depends on the book. I don't have a favourite book, but I like Eragon, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter books. My favourite genre is adventure, but I like all the others too. You can also read books that teach you something new.

I think hobby is an activity what you do in your free time.My hobby is rhythmical gymnastics. I do it five times a week. I like it but sometimes I feel exhausted and I need more free time. Gymnastics is expensive sport. Rhythmical gymnastics is an indoor activity. I´ve done gymnastics for 8 years. By doing this I´m happy! My coaches are Airi Pärn, Karmen Orlovski and Sandra Ivanova who teaches ballet to us. In gymnastics I´ve been both the first and the last in competitions.
