Andakt


O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.

En meditation om Marias och vår "JA" till Gud...

Men du, Herre, är vår fader.
Vi är leran och du har format oss,
vi är alla ett verk av din hand.

English week 50

This week, children and grown ups across Sweden are preparing for Friday when we celebrate "Lucia".

The Swedish celebration is very sweet on the surface, but the slow procession, red ribbons and candles hint at something deep, solemn and horrifying.

See what you think as we work on a text that attempts to recreate Santa Lucia's life and death: Lucia: Refusing to be moved or silenced

There are a lot of questions to help you identify details in the text, but I hope it also sets you thinking about people like Lucia and how much has changed in today's society.

English week 49

We're studying health and illness... and now I'm ill!

So if you're in school, you have a few options:

  1. Continue with the worksheets from last week and Monday.
  2. Help another person in the group with their worksheet.
  3. Log into Twinspace (see icon on right) and do a new exercise called "Who is who" (see picture below) plus respond to anything else you have time for and find interesting - like the autumn thing, my generation or the new winter topic.

Twinspace

Remember your login? Any problems, ring/text me (look me up in Eniro/Hitta).

Everybody has a login and they're setup the same way, based on your First Class login - just ask a classmate to show you!
