Skrapan is a place in Stockholm. It is a shopping mall. I often go there and eat frozen yogurt. It is a very popular place. High up on the top of the tower, it is a bar. It is called “the Himlen� (the Heaven). I was there and looked at the view once. Many floors from the bottom to the top are offices. I like the American Candy store. It has many candies to taste. Vapiano is a restaurant on the second floor. You can eat pasta, pizza and other Italian food. When you walk out from the restaurant you can get some candy bears for free. Albin 11 years old
My backyard is very big. On a small part at the backyard it’s a small climbing frame and a beekeeper. And at another part it is a swing and a lot of beautiful flowers. I am very afraid of the swing because I have seen many peoples there when they fall off. Once I had a little surprise party on my backyard. Many people came and we had much fun. But my little sister got hurt. She was three years old when it happened. Of course she started crying. She got some cakes and it was better after five minutes. There is a park close to my backyard. I am always there with my friends and we have a super time there. Amanda 11 years old
It’s a very popular amusement park in Stockholm. The name is “Gröna Lund”. It has many rollercoaster, it’s fun. It was a long time since I was there. It has a scary rollercoaster that I am a little afraid of, the Swedish name is ¨Fritt fall¨ in English “Free Fall”. You sit in a basket very high up in the sky and they let you fall freely until it stops softly at the bottom. I love Gröna Lund because they also have good food there for instance, “Slushy” it’s yummy. I Love You Gröna Lund you are the best! Ana 11 years old
At Skrapan you can go with the elevator to a bar called ’’the Heaven’’. It is on the 25th floor. You can eat at different places. I ate my first frozen yoghurt there. At USA candy store you can buy Cheetos. You can also eat pasta and pizza at different restaurants. Inferno Online is a place very close to Skrapan, there you can play different games and the most popular game is League of Legends and Counter Strike Global Offensive. It’s a lot fun, you can buy many things, such as battery, Pepsi, mountain dew, toast, bacon snacks and much more. It is a floor where you can go to when you are 23 years old. Andreas 12 years old
Stockholms Stadium was built in 1912. The summer Olympics 1912 was held there. I was there 2012 at the Olympic Day. The football team Djurgårdens IF was playing at Stockholms Stadium. I have been there several times and watched them play. I think it’s a very emotional place to stay at because it brings back memories from when I’ve been there before. I also like the location because it’s very colourful and very nice. The team Djurgården stopped playing football at the Olympic Stadium in 2013, but the women’s team still plays there. In winter time you can also go skiing inside at the Olympic Stadium. Elliot 11 years old
At the "SÜder stadium� you can watch football. The team Hammarby played there earlier. The first time I was there I was nervous. I had not been to a match before. There were crowded with great supporters. They have now torn down the stadium. They have built two new arenas in Stockholm. It was very emotional to a lot of persons when they let people come there to take memories with them from the old court and the gallery. Gordon 11 years old
”Skansen” is a zoo and the world’s oldest open air museum. There are both Swedish houses, plants and animals there. One time I was there with the school. We learned about all animals at ”Lillskansen”, where all baby animals are. I often watch the seals when I visit “Skansen”. I think they are popular too many people. The pigs are also very cute. One thing I like about “Skansen” is that they have special lollipops and they are very nice. They are called “Tomteklubbor”in Swedish which means that they have two brownies on their Gunnar 11 years old
Every summer I and my friends go to¨Gröna lund¨. It always starts to rain when we are there. But at the end the sun comes. I went to everything except “Insane”, “the Free Fall” and the “Catapult”. My favourite is the ”Jet line”. I ate a lot of candies and nice things there, popcorn, cotton candy, slush and much more. Henry 11 years old
Maybe one month ago, I went to the Technical Museum with my brothers Melker and Sixten, my mum and two of her friends, Linda and Trude. My mum’s friends are from the Netherlands but they can speak Swedish. In the Technical museum there are a lot of new and old things. It is very close to the “Kaknästornet” which is a very high tower in Stockholm. In the technical museum there is a very old mine. But there is new things like games on computers and more technology things. There is a café with cakes, food and drinks. It´s a cake I like very much with strawberries, a kind of cheesecake. It is a very good café there. If you want to go and have some fun, dance and play some games you can go to the playhouse. It is very big and it´s not very many people there. You can test you skills, how high you can jump, how fast your reactions are etc. So now have I told you something about the Technical Museum. Good Bye. Ivar H 11 years old
First time I was at ’’Gröna lund’’ I was 5-6 years old. It’s funny to be there in summer time with friends and my family. I like to eat their ’’Fish and chips’’ there. My favourite rollercoaster is the ’’Jet line’’. I like their different candies and especially a small candy that’s called ’’Black bull’’. There’s a new rollercoaster that’s called ’’Eclipse’’. I bought a ticket for it last summer. It was scary to be so high up in the air. I use to go with friends in the summer. There’s a card that’s called ’’the Golden Card”. I bought it last year. With the card you can go there whenever you can without paying anything, well it costs to buy the card. Ivar K 11 years old
Last summer I was at Skansen with my mum and sister. It was a hot day, so we bought ice-cream. We went to see the pigs first. There are more animals to see, seals, monkeys, wolf, bears, moose, snakes and a lot more. A part of Skansen has a place called �Little Skansen�. It is for baby animals and built for young kids with low fences so they can look at the animal babies. It was fun to see the animals and to ride horse. I would love visit Skansen again. Jesper 11 years old
At Skansen you can look at different animals. It’s an open air museum. There you can also look at plants. They have a special “Linné-garden” for that interest. My favourite animals are peacock, elk and fish. Skansen also has one show stage. When I was there with my school we had our packed lunch. I have also seen a person make different things of glass “glass blowing person”. I have been too Skansen about eight times. I have been there with my mom, my dad, my little sister and with my school. When we had a dinner at Skansen I ate meatballs and spaghetti. I think it’s a good place to visit. Kaspar 11 years old
I am going to tell you about a place in the centre of Stockholm that is called “Sergel’s square”. The man Johan Tobias Sergel was a sculptors and gave the square its name. It has a very special look with black and white squares. Many people pass there every day because the square is surrounded by lots of stores, small shops, places to eat, the underground and the Cultural Museum. The FOOO is having a sort of party called #the FOOObuzzkillzoo here. Going there you had to dress up like an animal and dance to the music video and you could win a meeting with them. I went there with my cousin, my dad, my uncle and some of my friends. I dressed up like a cat and all of my friends too. It was so fun even if I didn’t win. I saw them and I caught them on film and I took a lot of pictures with my camera

This was one of my favourite places when I was younger. Two times a week I begged my parents that we should go there. Sometimes they said yes and sometimes no. Every time they said yes or ok I was totally happy. I remember when I and my dad went on the white waterslide and he got lots of bruises on his leg because I pushed him into the wall of the waterslide. The white one was always my favourite. There was also one time when I was six or seven years, when I saw a famous person He played in a music band in the 90’s. The building inside is kind of modern square-theme. They have an outside pool there you can swim out through cute little curtains. I will remember this place as a grown-up. And if it will stay there I will take my children to the place as a memory Leonardo 11 years old
Skarpnäck’s allotment garden is a great place if you want an allotment or with other words if you want a cottage with a garden when living in town. My parents bought this allotment in autumn 2013. Most of the neighbours are very nice. It’s very refreshing to take a walk there sometimes. In summer 2014 I went on several walks with my cat and that was a lot of fun. It was also a lot of fun when we put on the sprinkler and ran through the water. There are many wild animals, one time I saw a fox! It was amazing! I used to hear an owl at the time around seven o’clock pm. “Skarpnäck’s allotment area” is near to the Globe, south of the city. From Hornstull at Södermalm it takes about ten to fifteen minutes to get to Skarpnäck's gardens with car. You should really go there to see yourself. Lucille 11 years old
Now I am going to tell you about inferno online. Some days my friends and I go to Inferno online and play games together. Inferno is a place where you can play with your friends and talk with them and be with them. The most games people play there is CS: go, League of legends, World of World Craft, Dota 2 and Diablo. When we go there we are happy. We stay there from one to five hours. We play League of legends a lot and a little of CS: go. It doesn’t cost a lot twenty-five Swedish crowns for one hour and ninety for five hours. If you want to eat there you buy a sandwich. Good Bye!

”18 smaker” or 18 flavours is an ice-cream place at Södermalm in Stockholm. There they just serve ice-cream and other stuff that’s made of ecological raw products. The menu during winter season is hot chocolate, ice-cream and they sell ice-cream bombs on order. The menu at summer season is lemonade and icecream. In the summer the ice-cream flavours are summer fruits and berries. Hot summer days a cold ice-cream is yummy. When I was there for the first time I took an ice-cream bowl with two different ice-creams. The flavours were vanilla and raspberry. My favourite flavours now are; vanilla, banana, raspberry, gingerbread and candy cane. In early spring 2015 ”18 smaker” changed locality, but just a few meters away from the old place.

Now I will tell you about Grรถna Lund. It is an amusement park. The entrance fee to Grรถna Lund is 120 Swedish crowns. It is rather expensive. My first time in the amusement park was with my class at school. And it was funny and we ate candy all the time. But afterwards all in the class were sick. There you can go by rollercoaster. It is great fun. At school all talk about Grรถna Lund. There is a lot of candy to buy there. We never went there again with my former school class. Mรฅns 11 years old
This place is “Söder stadion”. It was the football team Hammarby’s home court. It was taken away in 2014. I miss it very much. I was there with my football team. I went there when they took away the grass in the football field and the gallery. They are planning to build offices there instead. I played in Hammarby, that’s why I went to the court. I was there when Hammarby played their last match at this arena. Team Hammarby is at the top level in the Swedish football league.

“Skrapan” is a skyscraper at Södermalm in Stockholm. It is a house with 25 floors. There you can live in an apartment, do all kinds of shopping, eat at different restaurants and cafés. There you also can find an aerobic centre. One day I went to Skrapan with my friends. We went to a “café” called “Honeycomb” to buy frozen yoghurt. My favourite yoghurt is the one with raspberry and chocolate. You can choose the one you like. And you can take topping on your yoghurt. And you can drink coffee, smoothies and water. I like to go there with my friends about twice a month. The shop, USA Candy is my favourite shop. There you can find all kind of chocolate, pink fluffy marshmallows, jelly beans, whoopers with a taste of strawberry, sour sweets and really sour war heads. The music band ”The Fooo Conspiracy” has made a music video here. The name of the music video is “Build a girl”. They are good singers and can dance very well.

The place I am going to tell you about is Brandbergen south of Stockholms City. The last time I was there was there was at Christmas. My brother Elias and his girlfriend Emelie live there. They have a pool in their backyard. In the winter time you cannot use it. But you can during in the summer. All streets have horoscope name. They live in the Capricorn Street. It takes a long time to travel there from my house at Sรถdermalm. You have to take the train then take the bus and finally walk 5 minutes.

I am going to tell you about a place in Sweden Stockholm, and that place is the Globe. The Globe is a big white globe and it was built in 1989. I see the Globe every time I go to school and home from school. When it gets dark outside the Globe has colours coming from it, and on Halloween it was coloured like a pumpkin. The original properly name of the Globe is “the Ericsson Globe�. I was in the Globe one time when it was a liquorice-festival and I was there with my friend Cilla and her mother because I and Cilla both love liquorice. The Swedish Song contest finale was held there before but now it is somewhere else. That was all about the Globe.

This is an arena and it’s called “Zinkens IP”. I pass this place, at the west of Södermalm, on my way home from school every day. I think it’s a nice arena. I have been ice skating there. I have done it with my class and also with my family. In summertime I play football there. It’s like a big arena with many places to sit and watch. Sometimes when I pass the arena I can see people sitting and watching matches. I am not often there but it’s nice to live right next to a big arena. Vincent 11 years old
Our class has created a book about the student’s favourite spots in Stockholm. Maybe you’ll find some spot in Stockholm that you are interested in and hopefully will travel to in the future. All texts are written by students at ”Björngårdsskolan” Södermalm March 2015
