Thank you!!

Thank you! - Kiitos! - Danke!

Dear friends in Mäntsälä,

Thank you so much for the cute Christmas card and the yummy Finnish chocolate you sent us! We enjoyed tasting it and liked it a lot.

It was very interesting to find out that Finnish chocolate tastes different and that you have other flavours: We've never heard of or tasted chocolate with liquorice before.

Our surprise for our Finnish friends

Class 6b’s Christmas surprise for classes 5 and 6 from Saari primary school

As a part of our eTwinning project we, i.e. class 6b from Marion-Dönhoff-Gymnasium in Nienburg, had decided to introduce our new friends to another German Christmas tradition: Christmas cookies.

It is a German tradition to make your own Christmas cookies, so lots of us brought homemade cookies to class to send them to Finland. Others bought typical Christmas cookies like German “Lebkuchen” and “Spekulatius” (spicy Christmas cookies).

On 10^th December we packed and sent our surprise. It was great fun.

  Jona and Michael are putting the first items of our surprise into the parcel.

 

Donata and Lenya were next.

 Resal and Merle added a few more things.

                        

 Yummy, yummy!

We hope you enjoy tasting and eating our cookies just as we enjoyed making and packing them! We’re looking forward to continuing our project in January and to learning more about Finland and Finnish traditions!

FROHE WEIHNACHTEN! – HYVÄÄ JOULUA! – MERRY CHRISTMAS!
