The best place in Pikkola

Hello again, it's time for our weekly blog entry! This week we started the lessons with a little warm-up exercise. First we had to write the following "random" words or things. We didn't yet know why but we found out soon enough.

(1) A name (a celebrity or a friend, for example)
(2) A verb in the -ing form
(3) An adjective
(4) An adjective
(5) A food
(6) A place name
(7) A name for a game, sport or instrument
(8) An adjective

Then we put these words into an already written story that was missing eight words. The stories ended up being interesting or just plain silly. Try to write your own eight words! You can read some of our stories at the end of this post.

Most of the pupils chose to work on verb tenses while three of our courageous bloggers wrote on this week's topic: The best place in Pikkola.

The famous Pikkola stadium

I think the best place in Pikkola is the big field behind the bus stop. It’s large, smooth and it is perfect for running, playing Football or playing American football. I’ve had a few sports lessons there and I find it to be great! But if I would think about a place to hang out, then it would be anywhere where it’s quiet. Because I don’t like too public places and lots of crowd. You see... I’m the quiet one.

We think that the best place in Pikkola is chilling outside. We are there almost every break. There are lots of benches where to sit. We like to sit in the sun, because it's warming. If you want to be in shady place, there are those too. When the break starts we go outside almost right away. Except sometimes we have to get our books from the locker. But if it is raining, we chill in hallway or we go around the school inside. It is possible because our school is shaped like the H-letter inside. Outside that is different, it is like a box. There are many nice places where to be in breaks, but our favourites are absolutely benches outside.

Benches in the sun and in the shade.

The fabulous new Lukio building and some nice benches. And the place where we chill if it rains.

Eltz, Paulina and Marie - thanks for the brilliant texts and photos! As promised, below you can read some of our warm-up texts and also check out this week's song, A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold. It was chosen by Ida Cole.

On a very stormy night, I and Captain Blackbeard began sworfighting. He was very quick and agile, but in the end my skills exceeded his. After that I sailed to Paris on Queen Anne's Revenge to eat a cheese of victory. A Rat managed to steal my cheese and I had to play hide and seek with it, but I was victorious and ate the cheese of victory.
