On Sunday the 8th January, the Polish and Italian guests finally arrived to Vesanto! The moment we all had been waiting for! ;)
The happy but tired students stayed with their host families on Sunday, and gathered to the Vesanto school hall for the first time early on Monday morning. The Finnish students had prepared a Welcome Event for the guests with music performances, quizzes, dancing etc. The guests also got Welcome Bags decorated by the Finnish students and containing timetables for the week, woolly socks to keep the guests' feet warm, reflectors to keep them safe on the dark Finnish roads, and some Finnish treats!
After the welcome event, everybody headed outside for ice-skating, sledging and playing in the snow! What a great start for an amazing week! :)
Here's the Welcome Event's quiz about Finland:
Here's some more greetings from the Polish group:
As you can see from the photos they have arrived safely! ;)

physical activities which main aim was to promote healthy patterns of behaviour
and intercultural integration. ;)
