Our trip to finland
The students visited Finland and experienced many cultural differences from their home in Poland. They observed that Finns have saunas in most homes, don't wear shoes inside schools, and enjoy ice skating. At school, students eat lunch together in a canteen and help clean up afterward. Contrary to stereotypes, the Finns they met were very kind and welcoming. The weather during their trip was milder than typical winter conditions in Finland.

Education in Finland also differs in starting later and having one teacher for core subjects in early grades.

Grandad’s school
Grandad attended a small, one-room country school with no principal or hall. There were 24 students and one teacher. Students shared long desks and sat on benches without backs. Grandad enjoyed English and writing with pen and ink, though he and his friends would sometimes stab flies with their pens. For lunch, Grandad brought sandwiches from home as there was no cafeteria. Playtime consisted of making their own cricket pitch since there were no playground structures. Punishment was administered with a cane. The school had an outdoor toilet called a thunderbox and no sick bay, so ill students had to sit in the shade.
Joshuasing
Schools in the past were more strict and had harsher punishments compared to modern schools. In the 1930s-1950s, school went from 9am to 4pm with detention after. Punishments included caning, dunce caps, and standing in the corner. Desks were made of wood with ink wells. By the 1980s-1990s, technology like computers and whiteboards were introduced, and uniforms became less common. Schooling has evolved over the decades to include less physical punishment and more group work and independent learning.

Life Before Smartphones - 23.pdf
The document describes life in the past without smartphones. It discusses how the author grew up in a village in the 1930s and 1940s. Their family grew their own food and the mother would teach small classes of children at their home. Entertainment included listening to the radio, playing games, and spending time outside with friends as television was not acquired until the author was 10 years old. Clothes were made and mended by family members rather than purchased. While there was not much, the author felt they had a happy childhood.
The Right Chord
With the booklet Touching the Right Chord (written for children between 6-10 years old but most adults like it a lot as well), we want to show the special bond between a little girl and her Spanish grandparents. We would like to contribute to a positive perception of people with dementia.
The books shows that a child can keep a good relationship with a family member who is demented. Next to that it shows that old people, also the ones who are not originally Dutch, play an active role in our society.
This book has been made possible by the support of LIZE, policy adviser of the central government on Southern European communities. We hope this book will help to create more knowledge about dementia, more understanding for the people who have the disease, and more support for the partners, children, friends and relatives who take care of them.
The net result of this book goes to the work of Alzheimer Nederland, a national organization which provides information for people with Alzheimer and their family and friends. The booklet is written by Yvonne Witter (Aedes-Actiz Knowlegde Center of Housing and Care) and illustrated by Yon Prüst.
The English translation is only digital available. Hard copies are written in Dutch.

While organic farms do not use pesticides, there is debate around whether organic food is truly safer or more nutritious.

Processed foods, even those labeled organic, can be unhealthy if high in added sugars. Overall, it remains unclear if organic food is healthier.

Scientists have invented many things but have yet to invent invisibility, flying cars, teleportation, or perfect robot servants. Invisible objects have been partially achieved through camera tricks but remain imperfect. Flying cars face challenges of weight and lack of adequate infrastructure. Teleporting atoms one by one to transport objects and people is extremely difficult with current technology. While prototypes exist, affordable and reliable robot servants for domestic use are likely still about ten years away due to challenges with technology and durability.

The Good Old Days
- 1. The good old days
- 2. I was born in 1936 and I lived with my family in a village near Bristol. My father was a fruit farm advisor and my mother was a housewife. But when our teacher retired from my school, my mother asked for the school books and started a small school at home. I think about nine children used to come to study with us. Mother taught us French and English, even though she was very deaf! Because it was the war, most people didn’t use to have much food. We were lucky as we had lots of land so we used to grow our own vegetables and we had chickens, rabbits and a pig. But mother would feed us lentils every day, which I hated! I still can’t stand them now. I remember hiding lentils in my pockets – and I’d sow them in the garden. Luckily I didn’t ever wait for them to grow! I think that was the beginning of my gardening career, because after I left home that’s what I studied at college!
- 3. We didn’t have a television until I was about ten. Instead, we listened to the radio a lot after school, and we would play cards and board games, and play with friends outside. We couldn’t really afford many holidays – people didn’t in those days. There wasn’t much petrol, and it was very expensive. But when I was a bit older we had a caravan and I remember it had a tin bath that hung down under the floorboards. We used to love bath time on holidays! Nowadays people buy so many clothes, but when I was little people used to make them all. My grandmother would cut up old clothes and make skirts and blouses from them. And she used to give us a homemade jumper every year that she knitted from wool she took from old jumpers. These jumpers were lovely – bright and stripy. And when we made holes in our socks grandmother would always mend them for us. Mmm … we didn’t have a lot in those days, but I had a very happy childhood.
