ISN´T IT RIGHT?
Isn´t it right that every child should have a bed.
To have a roof over their head?
Isn´t it right that every child
Should be shown affection,
Be safe, secure, and have protection?
Isn´t it right?
We all have the right
To follow our dreams.
Isn´t it right we shouldn´t judge in looks,
Comparing ourselves to models in
magaziines and books?
Isn´t it right?
Express yourself,
Don´t be afraid to stand up.
Be you.
We are equal.
There is no one like us on the Earth.
We are special.
Everyone is valued the same amount of
worth.
We are all on the same level.
We are equal!

FINLAND AND FINNS
FAMILY
My name is Emma Korhonen. I am twelve years old. I have a little brother. His name is Eetu. We have a cat. His name is Sulo. We love him very dearly. Many of my school mates have either a cat or a dog as a pet. My mother’s name is Johanna and my father is Mikko. We are an average family in Finland.
In our school families in average have two, three or even four children. Almost half of the families are divorced. In my class many pupils live in so called blended families where they live one week with their dad’s and one week with their mum’s.
We live in a detached house in a suburban area in the middle of Finland. I have my own room. Many of my classmates live in row houses. Some live in apartments (or flats) in three storey tall buildings.
We also have a summer cottage by a lake. There are thousands of lakes here in Finland.

SCHOOL
My school day starts normally at 8.15 in the morning. It ends either at 13.15 or at 14.15. We had a vote about school subjects. The most favourite school subjects are PE (physical education (sports)) and other practical subjects like art, crafts and music. My favourite subject is English.
There are about 20 pupils in a class in general. The biggest class in our school has 27 pupils and the smallest 18 pupils. In Finland the primary school starts the year when a child turns 7 years old. Primary school lasts for six years. Before school I was in a kindergarten for one year. My classmates live quite close to my home and school. There are about 250 pupils in my school and almost all have parents that both are born in Finland. There are only a few pupils that have a parent or parents that are not Finnish by origin.
We start learning English right from the start, from the first grade. I began to study German from the fourth grade. It is so called optional studies. I didn’t have to start studying German, but I wanted it so much. From the sixth grade we all start to learn Swedish. So I study four different languages at the sixth grade, Finnish, English, German and Swedish. But the most of my classmates study three languages.
