Soon it's Christmas. It's four days until Christmas holiday and 12 days till Christmas!
Some of us stay here for Christmas and others go to an other country for Christmas and some go other places. Christmas is a holiday where you get presents from Santa who is a guy that lives in the North Pole and gives presents to everyone in the world that has been nice.
Hour of code
On this Thursday we were in a big project called code. Last year over 15 million kids were with in project this year more kids were with. Hour code / code is a game about programming games it is quite a challenge. Programming is about putting commands for your caricature to move or do other things. There is different commands and ways to shorten commands for for example like the du over so if there is a spiral and you don't want to take so any commands then you put three or two commands. Then you walk straight forward and then you turn and then it repeats it self in till you reach the goal.

Patrik's house!
By Stella and Jennifer
This week Patrik's house got drowned by his broken water pipe. His family maybe has to change the floor and walls because it was wet. He could not come to school because he had to wait for the pipe fixer and plumber, that is expensive!!! Next day he came back to school and told us about what happened, He had to leave early at 2:00pm.
Art and crafts day
This week on both Thursday and on Friday we did arts and crafts. One of the things you could do was go down to woodwork and make a mini santa, they became very nice and are now on a few people's tables. Another thing you could do was to go down to sewing and make decorations for the Christmas tree. If you were in the classroom you could make small gingerbread houses (it wasent real gingerbread) and cards.

Current events
Olympiacos are playing against Malmö FF in Champions League on Tuesday at 19:45. Last time they played Malmö FF won with 2-0 so it would be really good if they won again
These are the groups in Champions League. Malmö FF are in the top left. The deadly groups are Group E, F and D we think.
Chemistry
On Friday this week in Chemistry we wrote about different
mystery powders. The mystery powder was two of the powders we have worked with.
There were three different kinds of mixtures of mystery powders; they were
called A, B, and C. We had to write about how we would do to figure out what
the mixture we got was. We also had to write a summary about what we had
learned during the time we had chemistry. Then we got to test out how we had
written how to test what the mystery powders were. We thought it was very fun
with chemistry this term.
ART
This week in art we worked with our movies. First, our teacher Ulla would put us in groups, 3 people were in each group.

On Monday a dental hygienist came to our class to talk about teeth. The people who go to classes and talk are called Flour- tanten in Swedish. She told us what the teeth liked and what they didn't, and what could happen if you didn't brush them. For example, if you didn't brush your teeth for a long time then you would get caries also known as wholes in your teeth which can make them hurt and you may even have to pull a tooth out. She also gave us some tips to get healthy teeth. Only eat every 2 hours and let your teeth rest. Also to never brush your teeth after drinking or eating anything sour. Wait at least half an before brushing your teeth after consuming anything sour.

NTA
In NTA this year we are working with chemicals and those stuff. There are five mystical powder. Now we are mixing the cemicals with water vinegar iodine and red cabbage juice. We worked with the red cabbage juice the red cabbage made very cool efects on the powders. We can start with the powder in the red circle it gave a very slushy form. In the yellow circle became pink and slushy. The green circle became green and slushy. Orenge circle became blue and hard. Moving on to the next one the final one the blu circle made a little harder slush.
Opera
This week we went the royal opera and we got to go backstage. The stage was slightly bent so that the crowd could see the actors. When we were there, people were working so we had to stay out of the way. Things could fall on us when they were working. There was a part of the stage that goes down and up so you could put things on it. There were also trap doors that the actors could fall through when they wanted to disapear.
We thought it was very fun at the opera and we would like to go there agian. We took the bus back to school and continued a normal Monday.

IODINE EXPERIMENT
This week in NTA we experimented with iodine. We used the white powders marked with red, orange, yellow, green and blue stickers on the lid. We put one spoon of the powders in each coloured ring on the tray, according to which coloured sticker there was on the lid. We dropped six drops of iodine on each powder. The red one mixed up and turned orange. The orange one turned black. The yellow one also mixed up and turned orange. The green one was weird because the iodine rolled off the sides of the powder. The blue one just got lumpy. Here is a photo of the result.

Short Stories
Friday the 11th of November
This week we worked with short stories witch in Swedish is called "novell",
novell in Swedish is not the same thing as in English because Novel in English is a "roman" in Swedish which is a book. We read a short story out loud in a group, and discussed it afterward. We made sure that the story worked with something called "val modellen". "Val modellen" is a model shaped like whale to show how short stories are written and built up. When every group was finished with discussing if the story fit in the model then all the groups gathered in the classroom and we discussed if it was right or not.

A day at the Opera house!
This week on Monday our class went to the "Kungliga" Opera. The guide told us about a king who ruled over Sweden a long time ago. His name was king Gustav the 3 and he loved Opera. On one of his masquerade parties when he was having dinner with his friends he got a letter saying for him not to attend to his party. The kings reply was "Do you think I am scared." Then when he arrived to his party he was instantly surrounded by five men and one of them took out a gun and killed him.
MUSIC TEST
Last Wednesday we had a music test with Thomas, our music teacher. In the test you were supposed to write what the music symbols meant and draw the symbols. You could answer 34 questions and you could get 34 correct. Everyone got a test in the beginning of the lesson and then got as much time as you needed. It probably took half of the lesson (30 minutes) for everyone to be finished. When you were finished with the test you got a paper to doodle on. We will get our tests back next Wednesday which is week 48.

get frighten. The son is about six years old. When they arrive the uncle goes
into a different line, then the dad pretends that he goes into a different
team. While he actually goes to the “showers”. Where they gas them to death.
The Mother of the boy is not a Jew but when she found out
that they had been taken she demands to follow, because her son and husband are
on the train.

Life is Beautiful
We watched a movie called "Life is Beautiful". It was about a man (Roberto Benigini) called Guido. He married a woman called Dora and then they had a son called Giosué. One day soldiers came home to them and took them to a concentration camp. Guido said to Giosué that it was only a game so that he wouldn't get scared. He said that you get points for everything you do and the first one to 1000 points wins a tank, and Giosué loves tanks. Dora wanted to go with to the camp, so she could die with them. They let her go on the train that took them to the camp. We're not going to spoil the rest. We really think you should watch this movie.
