MALTA Maltese Bizzilla by Class 2.2 Some days ago a lady came to our classroom to show us the beautiful craft of Maltese lace. In Maltese it is called bizzilla. This lady showed us the tools that she needs for her hobby. She uses a very hard pillow called trajbu, wooden bobbins called ĂŤombini, a pattern, lots of pins and thread.
First she pins a pattern on the pillow, then she fills the bobbins with thread. Afterwards she weaves the bobbins very carefully to make beautiful designs. She uses lots of pins to keep her work on the pillow. She also explained that it is a very old craft and that in the past many people especially women used to sit outside in the warm weather with their friends and they would make bizzilla together.
Our teacher showed us old photos that showed even children making bizzilla! We saw some beautiful objects made of bizzilla, made some puzzles about bizzilla and even tried it out ourselves!

Dressing up for Carnival by 3.3
I love carnival very much because I can wear anything I want. This year I’m going to wear a costume of Snow White. In school we have lots of activities including the carnival parade, where we parade in the school yard for all students to see. The pictures show some of us in costume. We look great, don’t we? Carnival is celebrated over 5 days in Malta. It starts on a Friday and ends the following Tuesday. On Monday and Tuesday we have no school, so we have more leisure time to go and enjoy Carnival with our family in Valletta, the capital city of Malta. Chayenne

MALTA Passju by 2.3 To play this game you need to draw a design with numbers on the floor. We used chalk to draw it.
Standing in front of the passju, you throw a little stone on number 1. If you miss, you will lose your turn. If the stone lands on the number, you jump on both feet (on 1 and 2), then on one foot (on 3), on both feet again (on 4 and 5) and keep on jumping on one or both feet until you reach number 9.
When you reach number 9, you will jump back to 1 and 2 and grab the stone from number 1. You then give the stone to the next person playing. When it is time for your turn again, you will throw the stone on number 2. Then repeat for all numbers. The person who arrives on number 9 first wins the game.
This is a simple game which we, as a class enjoyed playing a lot with our teacher during the PE lesson. The teacher told us that instead of drawing the design with chalk, we can also use mats with numbers and form the same design.

bulgaria I am making martenitsas with mum
Мartenitsa Necessary materials:
• white woollen thread • red woollen thread • cardboard 5-6 сm Pizho
Penda
BABA MARTA is an old Bulgarian tradition. On 1st March each year we start wearing martenitsas. They are different designs but Pizho and Penda are the most popular. Red colour means good health and white means long life. We wear them until we see the first stork. Then we take them off and tie them on a fruit tree.
Preparation: 1. You need a white and a red woollen thread 2. Tie the two threads at one end 3. Stretch tightly the threads and start twisting them in one direction
Young tourists and ecologists
4. Match the two ends and let them free. The two threads will twist themselves.
We are third and fifth grade students. We often walk in the near forest, learn how to use a map and a compass and how to put up a tent. We renew the marking and collect the litter. In the end we play games and have a picnic.
5. Fold the cardboard and start winding red thread around it. 7. Tuck the twisted thread into the folded part of the cardboard. 8. Cut the wound thread where it is not tied to get tassels. 9. Take another piece of thread and tie at a lower place to form the head. This way you can make the hands and Penda is ready. To make Pizho, follow the same procedure but you will need to make his legs.
It is the best place for walks even in winter. Especially when a flight of swans comes from the north. Lots of people come to see them and feed them. .

BULGARIA
bulgaria HIDE—AND—SEEK
Burn, burn handkershief Burn, burn handkerchief In this game the children squat in a circle. Only one kid holds a handkerchief and runs around the circle singing “Burn, burn handkerchief, the dog is pulling it!”. His task is to drop the hanky behind one’s back. The one that gets the hanky stands up and starts chasing the other one and tries to take his place in the circle. This game is really funny and you should try to play it.
In Bulgaria indefinite number of children can play the game. One has to be chosen for “seeker” and the others are “hiders”. The seeker closes his eyes and counts slowly aloud to a certain number while the other players are hiding. Hiders should make a dash for Home Base, which is previously marked. Touching the base area makes a hider safe, and the aim of the game is to touch base without being tagged. The seeker continues to search for hiders and if he/she finds none then he is the seeker again in the next game. However, if he finds and tags someone before they are able to touch base, he calls out in a loud ‘That’s Michael! But if the seeker confuses the name of the player the game starts from the beginning.
White butterflies White butterflies is a game that is widespread all over Bulgaria. The participants are mainly girls. They arrange in a circle. Two girls hold their hands under the elbows and dance spinning around in the middle of the circle. Everybody sings: White butterflies, Where did you fly? Near is your way, Select your pals ... The first is mine The second is yours… While singing the last words each of the dancing girls runs to the others and selects one that encircles them. The new couple enters the circle and begins dancing under the accompaniment of the song.
Broken phone Broken phone is a game that Bulgarian children play. Children are placed side by side in a row and the first one whispers in his neighbour’s ear any word, phrase or sentence. The action repeats until the last child hears the word and says it aloud. Very often the last child says something that has nothing to do with the original word and this is the fun of the game. If the final word is not correct, the child goes last in the telephone row.
Blind man’s buff Blind man's buff is played in a spacious area, such as outdoors or in a large room, in which one player, designated as "It", is blindfolded and gropes around attempting to touch the other players without being able to see them, while the other players scatter and try to avoid the person who is "it", hiding in plain sight and sometimes teasing them to make them change direction. In one of the versions “the blind man” has to guess who is the player that he has caught.

POLand My hobby is playing computer games. My favourite games are The Sims 3, Minecraft, Slender and LOL. Every day I play these games in my house. On Saturday I play games even for 5 hours. I play games after school. Once a month I buy a new game with my pocket money. My hobby is reading comics. I often read them. I read them in my free time. I read comics in the house or in the garden. I read them because sometimes I have nothing else to do. :-D
Children games in my country In our free time, we like to play different games. During the breaks at school, we spend time playing games such as: Tag It's a game on a small or larger area . A person who is a tag catches up and has to touch any of the other children before he or she squats or touches for example a wood thing. If he or she is touched, they become a tag. There are plenty of types of games, one of them is a frozen tag. It consists in the fact that a person is caught with legs apart and can not move until the other person does not move under her legs. A tag wins if he or she can catch (freeze) a l l p a r t i c i p a n t s p l a y i n g t h e g a m e . A tag can be combined with "Old bear fast asleep." At the end of all the songs, they disperse and the "bear" wakes up and chases the participants, and the person who he touches first becomes the bear and the game begins again. Peekaboo The rules are not complicated and I think they are known to all of you. The person (or group of individuals) covers his or her eyes and counts to a fixed number, and the other participants playing this time look for the best hiding place. The winner is the one who is found the last. A person found first becomes looking for in the next round.
POLand Children games in my country Rubber game How to play the gum? The rules are simple, but extremely difficult to describe. To play you need a flexible rubber, in which there are two people, a third jumps. You have to jump and pop . You jump at the lowest level to jump, then at calves, knees, thighs, and on up until the neck. He who can do that at all levels is unmistakably called a true c h a m p i o n . Stalking The younger children can have fun playing stalking – a game that will turn an ordinary family on an exciting adventure walk. One person goes and leaves behind traces, such as tying a coloured ribbon on the branches of trees, or drawing with chalk arrows, so that others can find it later. Stalking is similar to the search for a hidden treasure. In some mysterious place such as trees cracking, you hide "a treasure chest". Mark the path to the treasure with arrows made out of sticks, chalk-drawn or pre-prepare a simple map, through which children will find a sweet surprise. Caps Draw a line on the ground with a piece of chalk or stone on the pavement, beaten with a stick on the ground or smooth sand on the edge of the sandbox. The track width is dependent on the number of participants - the more players, the greater should be the track. Mark the start line and the finish line, and between them everything could " h a p p e n " , T h e t r a c k c a n t u r n . Set the caps at the start, side by side, the front side to the back, and flip a cap to move forward. We snap a change and so we race to the finish line. Falling outside the line of the track means missing a turn. The winner is the player whose cap crosses the finish l i n e f i r s t . The game should begin by collecting a sufficient number of caps and flags to decorate the countries whose representatives take part in cycling races. An interesting idea may be a small change in the rules such as caps adorn the flags of countries participating in the Euro 2012 tournament. Hopscotch The game is based on skillful passing through the eight fields, throwing a pebble and maintain for a long time on one leg. A participant throws the first stone and is on one leg, jumps in the field, raises the stone, skips and jumps out the rest of the field outside. You jump in the “arms” both on the way to and in the way back. For the last field ("head"), he or she jumps, rotates in t h e a i r a n d j u m p s b a c k . This game can freely be played and diversified by e.g. arranging squares with numbers in the shape of an envelope, or using a snail shell or putting a pebble on the bent legs while jumping. And so on and so on …
ITALY Hanging around

Lesson breaks in our school Almost always we play football or talk something. 7 and 8 year old pupils play in playground and swing because they are so small. In the winter, we have ice rink in the school area. Some pupils like to skip the rope. And some other ball games are also popular. Tag is also a popular break game. by Mikko and Aleksi from 6M
Here is photo last year Nordic days in Sweden INFO: Food of school Finnish school food is free of charge. We have versatile foods. We have salad, milk, sour milk, bread and water every day. Some days we have dessert. Pupils’ favorite food is fish fingers, sausage potato spades and oven sausage. Every kid in Finland drinks milk every day, because we have little bit sun shining, so we need vitamin D. By Eetu Huotari and Roope Rintala
Every school day we have 4-5 breaks. One of them is 20 minutes long. Favorite play is football in our school. We have little arena in out. There we play football. We have one day to each class when they can play in arena. We have tournaments too, Teachers against pupils. Little pupils likes to play tag. by Aleksi and Markus 6M
