Class9a

Hello everyone!

We are a class of 23 pupils (13 girls and 10 boys). Our school is called PHYK, which is short for Pohjois-Haagan Yhteiskoulu (www.phyk.fi), and it's located in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. It's a private school which specializes in sports. We're on 8th grade, which means we were born in 1999. Our class is a bit wild and often loud but we also have a great sense of humor and we can be nice when we want to. (Usually we're nicer if we're broke and can't afford to buy energy drinks.)

Our teacher made us write questions for you who will write to us, but you can write about anything.

We're looking forward to postcrossing with you!
All the best, Class 8a
