New Beginnings - Elsa Bodi and Alice


A momet that we will always remember is when we went to Junsele in the north of Sweden. It was fun and everybody was very happy. Our class became united in a way and we will always remember when Knut fell into the water. 
The most important things that we have learnt from our time in school are courage, tolerance, patience, how to spell and read and take responsibility, 
A sense of humor, a playful mind and a sense of direction are qualities that we hope to keep.
Thank you for this year!

New Beginnings

Well, only days to go before you end your time at compulsory school. Upper secondary school awaits you. I hope you all get to where you want to be. It has been a privelege to get to know you a little.

For your final writing task, I'd like you to write down three things:
  1. A moment you will always remember from school 
  2. The most important thing you have learnt from your time in school
  3. What quality that you have now do you hope you will never lose.
Good luck.
