An American Party is Coming...

Awesome games? Check.

Delicious food? Check.

A big US-themed party in the lukio? COMING YOUR WAY.

On Tuesday 17th October, we are going to be partying like we're in the USA

"But, Chloe," I hear you ask, "Why are we having this party?"

We're having this party for a few reasons...

Firstly, we're celebrating the arrival of Kalajoki's latest international assistant teacher, Ahren. He lived and worked in the USA for several years so we'd like to pay tribute to that. 


Here is Ahren lighting a campfire in the USA!

Secondly, we're an international school so why not explore another culture in the form of games, food, and music?

Thirdly: chocolate brownies. Need I say more?

Our IS1 lessons have focused upon all things USA. In fact, students got the chance to ask a group of Americans some questions that they had about life over there and other stuff. We even challenged the Americans to say some (RATHER DIFFICULT) Finnish words (*evil laughter*).

You can watch the full video of Gaia, my friend from California, talking here. She tries to say "Lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas":




For now though, I hope that you enjoy the rest of your week!
