Fryxellska School Final Results

Hi!

We've worked intensely with this project the weeks before Christmas
and our Christmas vacation. It has been interesting to receive so many
mails from so many different places all over the world. We hope to be
able to pick up contact with one or a few of the schools participating in
the project in order to be able to get to know each other
better and learn more from each other. Since English is not our
mother tongue, it is also a great opportunity to practise the
language for us.

As you see, practising the language in a natural connection was one
of our goals with this project. To make English become a working tool instead of a
subject, and it certainly has. Furthermore we drew some conclusions
from the facts about temperature and daylight. We discovered that the
higher the latitude the shorter the day and the lower the latitude
the longer the day. We also realized that the area around the
equator is the warmest and that the farther away you go, the colder it
gets. But we also saw that other things, as the Gulf Stream, can
moderate that. We talked about sunbeams and from where they come, and how the
earth rotates around the sun, but it's still a little confusing for many of us.

We hope that this project will continue for other students next year!
Thank you for letting us in, it was fun! It would be even more fun if
the schools were coming from a wider range of countries. We missed
almost the whole continent Asia, except for Singapore, for example.
It is just a little thought and tip.

Thank you and goodbye from class 5B from Fryxellska school in
Vasteras, Sweden.
