Bea's school term ended yesterday (Wednesday the 18th) and they celebrated by singing for us all at Masthuggskyrkan, the big church that looms over us (and all of Göteborg, as the town's most famous example of National Romantic architecture).
Bea is perfectly obscured by a microphone in this shot, but there wasn't much we could do about it from our perspective. Each class took a turn singing a song, and the priest told a little secular tale, and there were a couple extra performances by some older kids.
Bonus picture from another parent's perspective!
Beforehand the parents gathered in the classroom to give presents to the teachers and have a little party. Hans, one of the "class pappas" made 10 liters of "risgrynsgröt", sort of a rice pudding without eggs that is served at the holidays with cinammon.
Afterwards we took care of Isa and Erik (the neighbor children) as their parents were going to the premier of the new filmatisation the "100 Year Old" book. Christian, our neighbor, was Art Director for the production, which stars some of the biggest names in Swedish cinema and had one of the highest budgets of any Swedish film this year. Will be exciting to see it!
