Espoo day and everything angry birds

This saturday was Espoo day at Selma's and Akseli's primary school. This meant they had to go to school and I went with them. The day was all outside (although the weather wasn't very nice) and we moved to different areas to do different activities. The first activity we did was to re-design the school playground with snow castles and igloos. I spend most of the time being interogated by Selma's class mates about Australia and I got asked to say one direction over and over as my Australian accent evidently made it sound 'cool'. It was very fun being back in primary school for a day. 

In the picture on the right below you can see the neighbourhood in which I live in. It is surrounded by parks, forest and even a pond. It is very pretty. 

The second activity I did with Akseli's class and we used nets to catch bugs and small fish from the pond. We then put them into tanks to identify them and look at them under microscopes.

Finally we went on a walk up a hill and then came across dozens of tractors. I really don't know why they were there or why we were looking at them and no one could explain it to me in english so I just went with the flow. 

After lunch there was waffles with homemade strawberry jam and cream. They were the best waffles I have ever tasted! 

These are some of the friends I met. On the left is my host sister, Selma and in the middle and on the right are her friends Maija and Anni-marie. They loved selfies. 

After lunch I left school with Akseli, my host mum and host dad to go to an angry birds park opening. For those of you who don't know angry birds comes from Finland and they are very proud of it, having angry birds everything! Akseli's team for soccer is sponsered by angry birds so Akseli was playing at the opening.
