Snufkin celebrates Finland´s independence day

On 6th December 1917 Finland got the independence from the Russian Empire. On that day we have public holiday and people don´t work and shops are closed. People get together to enjoy independence day and watch tv about President´s independence-dinner-gala where all the important people are invited.

In our school we had independence celebration last Friday. 6th graders invited all of us to our Gymhall to listen their songs and thoughts of Independent Finland. They gave us reasons why Finland is important to us and why we feel fortunate to live in a such wonderful country. In the end we all sang the Hymn of Finland standing up.
