Traffic surveys by Sweden






Vi sammanställer MILJÖUTMANINGEN med ett diagram, hur tog vi oss till förskolan under veckan GÅ CYKEL eller BIL.

- We complied the environmental challenge by using a graph , how we get to the kindergarten during the week. Walk , bike or car.



Vi började räkna hur många som gått och pappret räckte precis. Sedan tog vi cykel, det var mycket mindre! Sist räknade vi bil oj oj , det var jätte många, ska pappret räcka? Vi fick lov att förlänga pappret. 

- We started counting how many that walked and the paper was just enough. Then we took and counted how many who used bike , it was much lesser! At last we counted how many who used car , oh oh it was very many , Will the paper suffice? We had to extend the paper.


Frågor som kom upp: Vad är miljö? Vad är bra/dåligt för miljön? Varför väljer vi bil fast vi inte behöver? Om det hade varit sommar med sol och värme under veckan , hade det då sett annorlunda ut? 

- Questions that came up : What is the environment? What's good/bad for the environment? Why do we choose to take the car even tho we dont need to? If it was summer with sun and warmth during the week , would it then had looked diffrently. 


Barnen sa : miljön är naturen. Det är bra för benen att gå! Man kan plocka upp skräp när man går! Bilar släpper ut bensin! Det kan bli märken på vägen av bilar. 

- The children Said : Enviroment is the nature. It's good for the legs to walk. You can pick up trash while you walk.

Cars releases petrol. Cars may leave marks on the road.


Det kan vara jobbigt att gå. Det kan vara kallt . - Föräldrarna kanske måste göra något sen. - att man bor långt borta , t.ex landet. -

It can be tiring to walk , it can be too cold , the parents may have something to do later or that you live too far away. 


Det skulle vara NOLL på bil och HUNDRA på dom andra! - om det är långt kan man stanna och dricka. - Det är bäst att gå och cykla det är också bra för benen.

 - It should be ZERO at the car stack and HUNDRED at the other ones. If It's too long you can stop and grab something to drink.  It's for the best to walk and cycling , it also good for the legs.

Lucia in Sweden

Next week we have a tradition in Sweden called Lucia.
Lucia is a holiday celebrated on December 13 and the name of the feast protagonist. In Sweden, Christmas celebration starts with Lucia Day and with Advent. The Swedish Lucia is a mixture of both pre-Christian and Christian figures and a saint in the Roman Catholic Church originating from Sicily. The word Lucia comes from the Latin lux, meaning light. The tradition of Lucia procession originated in Sweden in the late 1800s.
Lucia procession has always a Lucia, wearing a long, white dress with a chandelier on her head and a red ribbon on the belly. Lucia followed by the "tärnor", in identical white long dress that Lucia but with glitter in their hair and on the waist and a candle in her hand. After them, sometimes follow "stjärngossar" who are dressed in white dresses and with a "starcone" on his head covered with stars and a star-decorated stick in hand. When Lucia procession consist of children they often even includes Santa Claus and boys/girls dressed as gingerbread. Lucia procession performance Lucia songs, carols and verse reading.
