BAD WEATHER AND FLOODS IN PORTUGAL

It has been raining a lot in Portugal for the past few days.
Last weekend there were floods in several palces. This picture was taken in Peso da Régua (near Armamar). This situation is very usual here in the winter.
Peso da Régua is known because of the Port Wine (it is its birth place).

TEDDY BEAR

Our project includes a "Teddy Bear" activity.
The idea is taking pictures, with a "Teddy Bear" (in this case a Moomin - chosen by Finland), in all the participant countries and share them here.
The Moomin will travel, from time to time. It will follow this order: Finland, Portugal, Germany,Czech Republic and Bulgaria.
The Moomin is a lucky animal!!!
Take a look at the pictures.

MOOMINMAMMA'S ADVENTURES IN FINLAND


This is Moominmamma. She is the mother of the Moomin family. She was created by Tove Jansson (1914-2001), a Finnish novelist, painter, illustrator and comic strip author.
Moominmamma spent some lovely time with us here in Finland. In this picture she is enjoying the first snow in Nousiainen. Unfortunately, the snow melted after a few days, and we haven't seen snow since. This autumn has been exceptionally warm here in Finland.




Moominmamma travelled to Lapland with two of our students, Teemu and Juha. Here she's admiring the fine blue colour of the northern sky.






Getting some good exercise. Moominmamma is climbing up Levi Fell.







Relaxing and sunbathing on top of Pallas Fell.








Back in the south and in Nousiainen, Moominmamma decided to go to the library - to read Moomin books, of course.










Standing in front of St. Henry Church in Nousiainen.








Moominmamma obviously likes churches. In this picture she is visiting Turku Cathedral. Moominmamma is the tiny white spot at the bottom of the photo. If you are lucky, you can find her...









Of course Moominmamma visited our school,too. Here she is sitting in the flowerpot and checking the school from the outside.









Moominmamma alone in the school hall. The lessons must be on because there's nobody around.






In the computer lab. This is where our international group meets every Wednesday morning. That's Moominmamma and Laura in the foreground.






Moominmamma was very eager to help the students with the being e-friends project.

At the moment Moominmamma is travelling to Portugal. We wish her a safe journey and hope that she will have lots of fun on her European tour!
