Today we woke up with our host families. We met at school at 8:35. We did our presentations and the Finnish kids did theirs. Then we listened to a presentation about today’s project.
We got on a bus and drove to a stream where we did some measurements. Then we got back on the bus and drove to Rokua. We had lunch there and tried Finnish sausages. They were very good.
Then we were divided into small groups and each group did a measurement on a lake. We took samples and measurements. After that, all the groups met in the Rokua house and compared the results.
After that, we headed back to Vaala. All the kids met at Petra’s house and had fun. The day was very fun and we are excited for tomorrow.
