Cruise on Lake Saimaa in Mikkeli, Finland

We had an opportunity to treat the children with a two-hour-cruise on lake Saimaa. The day before the children learned about the route and its attractions, and it was nice to try to spot the already familiar places along the way. The weather pampered us, as you can see, and we all enjoyed the cruise. Also our mascot Väinö was with us but this time he escaped from our cameras.

Otava's Final Event

On Thursday, 23 May the pupils and their families celebrated the end of our successful project in the harbour of Otava. We were happy to welcome also our friends from Holbeach Primary to take part in the activities.

The evening began with a choir performance, and then we plunged into the world of magic. After that we split up all around the harbour: we got to explore the fire engine, did some tasks with the scouts, had a quiz trail, explored the secrets of fishing, tried to see how good you are at shooting a  floorball, and of course, ate hot sausages. The weather turned a little dull towards the evening, but we had a lot of fun!.

Mmmm... delicious

In Otava school we tested today recipe sent from Romania. Also Cyprus sent almost similar recipe that included salmon, vegetables and rice. Romanian recipe included also coriander that isn't often used with fish here in Finland, but this spice tasted very good. Our school canteen made fish and vegetables very tasty.
