MALTA
Some days ago a lady came to our classroom to show us the beautiful craft of Maltese lace. In Maltese
it is called bizzilla. This lady showed us the tools that she needs for her hobby. She uses a very hard
pillow called trajbu, wooden bobbins called ëombini, a pattern, lots of pins and thread.
Our teacher showed us old photos that showed even children making bizzilla! We saw some beautiful
objects made of bizzilla, made some puzzles about bizzilla and even tried it out ourselves!
First she pins a pattern on the pillow, then she fills the bobbins with thread. Afterwards she weaves the
bobbins very carefully to make beautiful designs. She uses lots of pins to keep her work on the pillow.
She also explained that it is a very old craft and that in the past many people especially women used to
sit outside in the warm weather with their friends and they would make bizzilla together.

MALTA Prinjolata Recipe by 3.3
Today, 5th February, 2013 was a
special day for us because we got our aprons out and together we made the prinjolata. Here are some pictures showing what we did! We had to let it set for the night and the day after we deco-rate it with icing, chocolate, nuts and cherries……….mmmmm delicious!!!

Dressing up for Carnival by 3.3
I love carnival very much because I can wear anything I want. This year I’m going to wear a costume of Snow White. In school we have lots of activities including the carnival parade, where we parade in the school yard for all students to see.
The pictures show some of us in costume. We look great, don’t we? Carnival is celebrated over 5 days in Malta. It starts on a Friday and ends the following Tuesday. On Monday and Tuesday we have no school, so we have more leisure time to go and enjoy Carnival with our family in Valletta, the capital city of Malta. Chayenne

MALTA Passju by 2.3
To play this game you need to draw a design
with numbers on the floor. We used chalk to
draw it.
Standing in front of the passju, you throw a
little stone on number 1. If you miss, you will
lose your turn. If the stone lands on the num-
ber, you jump on both feet (on 1 and 2), then
on one foot (on 3), on both feet again (on 4
and 5) and keep on jumping on one or both
feet until you reach number 9.
When you reach number 9, you will jump
back to 1 and 2 and grab the stone from
number 1. You then give the stone to the
next person playing. When it is time for
your turn again, you will throw the stone on
number 2. Then repeat for all numbers. The
person who arrives on number 9 first wins
the game.
This is a simple game which we, as
a class enjoyed playing a lot with
our teacher during the PE lesson.
The teacher told us that instead
of drawing the design with chalk,
we can also use mats with numbers
and form the same design.

It is the best place for walks even in
winter. Especially when a flight of

Мartenitsa
Necessary materials:
• white woollen thread
• red woollen thread
• cardboard 5-6 сm
Preparation:
1. You need a white and a red woollen
thread
2. Tie the two threads at one end
3. Stretch tightly the threads and start
twisting them in one direction
4. Match the two ends and let them free.
The two threads will twist themselves.
5. Fold the cardboard and start winding red
thread around it.
7. Tuck the twisted thread into the folded
part of the cardboard.
8. Cut the wound thread where it is not tied
to get tassels.
9. Take another piece of thread and tie at a
lower place to form the head. This way you
can make the hands and Penda is ready. To
make Pizho, follow the same procedure but
you will need to make his legs.

Walking in the Sea Garden
BABA MARTA is an old Bulgarian tradition. On 1st March each year we start wear-
ing martenitsas. They are different designs but Pizho and Penda are the most popular.
Red colour means good health and white means long life. We wear them until we see
the first stork. Then we take them off and tie them on a fruit tree.
We are third and fifth grade students. We often walk in the near forest, learn how
to use a map and a compass and how to put up a tent. We renew the marking and
collect the litter.
In the end we play games and have a picnic.

Music, dance and pretty costumes. We learn how to dance
at the rhythm of the music. It is hard but fun. The best
time is when we can show what we have learnt and our
classmates applaud us.
LET’S DANCE TOGETHER
Dance is the magic of soul. It drives away tiredness and bad
mood.
We study modern dances and Bulgarian folk dances.

Blind man’s buff
Blind man's buff is played in a spacious area,
such as outdoors or in a large room, in which one
player, designated as "It", is blindfolded and
gropes around attempting to touch the other
players without being able to see them, while the
other players scatter and try to avoid the person
who is "it", hiding in plain sight and sometimes
teasing them to make them change direction.
In one of the versions “the blind man” has to
guess who is the player that he has caught.
HIDE—AND—SEEK
In Bulgaria indefinite
number of children
can play the game.
One has to be chosen
for “seeker” and the
others are “hiders”.
The seeker closes his
eyes and counts slowly aloud to a certain
number while the other players are hiding.
Hiders should make a dash for Home Base,
which is previously marked. Touching the
base area makes a hider safe, and the aim
of the game is to touch base without being
tagged. The seeker continues to search for
hiders and if he/she finds none then he is
the seeker again in the next game. How-
ever, if he finds and tags someone before
they are able to touch base, he calls out in
a loud ‘That’s Michael! But if the seeker
confuses the name of the player the game
starts from the beginning.
Broken phone
Broken phone is a game that Bulgarian children
play. Children are placed side by side in a row
and the first one whispers in his neighbour’s ear
any word, phrase or sentence. The action re-
peats until the last child hears the word and says
it aloud. Very often the last child says something
that has nothing to do with the original word and
this is the fun of the game. If the final word is not
correct, the child goes last in the telephone row.
Burn, burn handkershief
Burn, burn handkerchief In this game the children squat in a
circle. Only one kid holds a handkerchief and runs around the
circle singing “Burn, burn handkerchief, the dog is pulling it!”.
His task is to drop the hanky behind one’s back. The one that
gets the hanky stands up and starts chasing the other one and
tries to take his place in the circle. This game is really funny and
you should try to play it.
White butterflies
White butterflies is a game that is
widespread all over Bulgaria. The par-
ticipants are mainly girls. They ar-
range in a circle. Two girls hold their
hands under the elbows and dance
spinning around in the middle of the
circle. Everybody sings:
White butterflies, Where did you fly? Near is your way, Select your pals ... The first is mine The second is yours…
While singing the last words each of the dancing girls runs to the
others and selects one that encircles them. The new couple
enters the circle and begins dancing under the accompani-
ment of the song.

bookshop but sometimes I also buy books on the Internet.

My hobby is playing different musical instruments. I go to
a music school. Over there I play the recorder. In my free
time, I play my guitar in my home. I play different instru-

My hobby is playing computer games. My favourite
games are The Sims 3, Minecraft, Slender and LOL.
Every day I play these games in my house. On Saturday I
play games even for 5 hours. I play games after school.
Once a month I buy a new game with my pocket money.
My hobby is reading comics. I often read them. I read them in
my free time. I read comics in the house or in the garden. I read
them because sometimes I have nothing else to do. :-D
Children games in my country
In our free time, we like to play different games. During the breaks at
school, we spend time playing games such as:
Tag
It's a game on a small or larger area . A person who is a tag catches up and
has to touch any of the other children before he or she squats or touches for
example a wood thing. If he or she is touched, they become a tag. There are
plenty of types of games, one of them is a frozen tag. It consists in the fact
that a person is caught with legs apart and can not move until the other per-
son does not move under her legs. A tag wins if he or she can catch (freeze)
a l l p a r t i c i p a n t s p l a y i n g t h e g a m e .
A tag can be combined with "Old bear fast asleep." At the end of all the
songs, they disperse and the "bear" wakes up and chases the participants,
and the person who he touches first becomes the bear and the game begins
again.
Peekaboo
The rules are not complicated and I think they are known to all of you. The
person (or group of individuals) covers his or her eyes and counts to a fixed
number, and the other participants playing this time look for the best hiding
place. The winner is the one who is found the last. A person found first be-
comes looking for in the next round.
POLand
Children games in my country
Rubber game
How to play the gum? The rules are simple, but extremely difficult to describe. To play
you need a flexible rubber, in which there are two people, a third jumps. You have to
jump and pop . You jump at the lowest level to jump, then at calves, knees, thighs, and
on up until the neck. He who can do that at all levels is unmistakably called a true
c h a m p i o n .
Stalking The younger children can have fun playing stalking – a game that will turn an ordinary
family on an exciting adventure walk. One person goes and leaves behind traces, such
as tying a coloured ribbon on the branches of trees, or drawing with chalk arrows, so
that others can find it later. Stalking is similar to the search for a hidden treasure. In
some mysterious place such as trees cracking, you hide "a treasure chest". Mark the
path to the treasure with arrows made out of sticks, chalk-drawn or pre-prepare a sim-
ple map, through which children will find a sweet surprise.
Caps
Draw a line on the ground with a piece of chalk or stone on the pavement, beaten with
a stick on the ground or smooth sand on the edge of the sandbox. The track width is de-
pendent on the number of participants - the more players, the greater should be the
track. Mark the start line and the finish line, and between them everything could
" h a p p e n " , T h e t r a c k c a n t u r n .
Set the caps at the start, side by side, the front side to the back, and flip a cap to move
forward. We snap a change and so we race to the finish line. Falling outside the line of
the track means missing a turn. The winner is the player whose cap crosses the finish
l i n e f i r s t .
The game should begin by collecting a sufficient number of caps and flags to decorate
the countries whose representatives take part in cycling races. An interesting idea may
be a small change in the rules such as caps adorn the flags of countries participating in
the Euro 2012 tournament.
Hopscotch
The game is based on skillful passing through the eight fields, throwing a pebble and
maintain for a long time on one leg.
A participant throws the first stone and is on one leg, jumps in the field, raises the
stone, skips and jumps out the rest of the field outside. You jump in the “arms” both on
the way to and in the way back. For the last field ("head"), he or she jumps, rotates in
t h e a i r a n d j u m p s b a c k .
This game can freely be played and diversified by e.g. arranging squares with numbers
in the shape of an envelope, or using a snail shell or putting a pebble on the bent legs
while jumping. And so on and so on …

Hanging around
In Italy we like to hang around in our free time with a group of friends.Boys and girls stroll along two streets: Via Prione and Corso Cavour. In these streets there are many types of shops. We sometimes stop and sit to look at the boys and girls that pass to check them out!
Moreover, along the streets there are squares that we call piazze. There are community centres that we call oratori where we play foot-ball, mini football, basketball, ping- pong, and board games. Oratories belong to the church and they are free to attend. In summer, we go to the beach. While in winter we go to the luna park, cinema and park. We also play many sports. The most common are: swimming, football, basketball, karate, kick boxing and dance. We like listening to music. (Camilla, Cristiana, Asja, Naim 11)
We love football! We go training two times a week with our team Arsenal Spezia and on weekends we play against other teams. We are also fans of Inter favourite football club. We have a local team too called Spe-zia. In Italy there are 20 football clubs in the premier league/A series. The first teams go on to play in Champions League while the others go on to play in Europa League. The top team wins a shield (scudetto). Every four years we look forward to the world cup! The most famous footballer to play locally as a boy is Gigi Buffon, now Juventus goal-keeper. (Cristiano, William, Salvatore 11 )
Hi, we love dancing! We train six days a week for one and a half hours each time. We wear black leggings and a t-shirt with our dance school’s name on it. We have compe-titions like the one we did in Florence last month. We do lots of types of dancing, for example, modern, Boogie Woogie, classical, break dance, hip hop, acrobatic, choreo-graphic composition and disco dance. There are 14 girls and 1 boy in our class. We have been dancing for nine years. Eleonora & Laura (12 years old)
I love swimming. With my school I go once a week and after school I go too. (Virginia 12)
In our free time we like swimming. (Manzoni)
We like volley-ball. We go training once a week with our team (Revere)
All pupils of our primary schools play basket-ball this year. An instructor teaches every class to play basket-ball once a week. (Manzoni)
I sometimes play football but my favourite sport is
fencing. I'm very good at it! (Leonardo).
I do Athletics (Greta) Campo Montagna where I do Athletics (Benedetta)
We sometimes go skiing (Leonardo and Benedetta)
We usually play video games on the xbox 360, the wii, the 3DS and on the PC in our free time. For ex-ample: FIFA 13, Darksiders, Rayman evolution and other games :D. We prefer to play together online and with friends. We call ourselves nerds. Alexandru, Raffaele, Alessio (12 years old)
We love origami. Here we'll give you a website where it shows you how to make a tree. (Gemma & Sharon 11) http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-pine-tree.html
We are playing at the carpenters! (Manzoni)
I love cooking cakes and biscuits. I can give you a recipe.

I and my friends often go shopping. Do you like these sun-
glasses? (Chiara).
I like to make bracelets and earrings and painting my nails
with coloured nail polish. My best friend and I sometimes buy
pairs of earrings together and then each one of us keeps an
earring of every pair (Emma).
We always listen to music walking, doing homework, at home and SOMETIMES…AT SCHOOL!!!! J (II B).

We have 15-20 minutes breaks 3-5 times during the
schoolday. Our schooldays usually start at 8 or 9 and end at
12.00-13.00. We go out and play in the schoolyard in any
weather. Only when it’s –15 c we stay inside.
INFO: All the 1st graders
have their own schooltutor.
They are 5th and 6th graders,
and they take care of the little
ones during the breaks. The

Halkokari’s school break
In Halkokari School we play lot of football during
breaks. We have the Arena and Big Sand Field. Some-
times we get suspensions when we play too hard. In the
winter we have the skating ice in our sand field. Then we
can’t play football there. :( We also have swings and
jungle gums. Here you can also jump skippingrope or
just talk with friends.
Many 6th graders, mostly boys, spend their freetime playing Play
Station games. They named their top games to be World of Warcraft and League of Legends. For them playing is relaxing and a good way
af spending freetime.

INFO: Food of school
Finnish school food is free of charge. We have versatile foods. We have salad,
milk, sour milk, bread and water every day. Some days we have dessert. Pupils’
favorite food is fish fingers, sausage potato spades and oven sausage. Every kid
in Finland drinks milk every day, because we have little bit sun shining, so we
need vitamin D. By Eetu Huotari and Roope Rintala
