Visit at a Game Company
Mr. Jukka Miettunen
pedagogical manager
As you know games are an essential part of our school working culture. Our Kodu-clubbers have been working hard whole semester and as prize for that we made a visit to real game company. The company was Ludocraft here in the City of Oulu.
With the help of Mr. Tony Manninen, the CEO of company, the pupils and four teachers had a tour in the premises. We got to know how the professionals work and how to make a game step by step.
We talked about also what strengths do you need if you like to work in game industry. Mr. Manninen told to students about the importance of school and doing best in all subjects. If you like be a code maker, study math. If you are interested in artistic part-draw, paint and use art as versatile as you can. The game industry needs also good scriptwriters so reading and writing is essential. When asked many of the students plan to work with games in the future. Let's see!
The teachers were amazed about the working environment or should we say learning environment in the company of creative business. There were a lot of insipring details like room for Lego-building, a 12 000 pieces puzzle, snooker table and a music studio.
The house was full of history of game making and playing. You could see the game consols, joystics and games from several decades.
The walls were full of material of ongoing and past game projects. The manager encourages the employees to write as much as possible and there were many printed books in the book shelf made by the Ludocraft employees. Nice!
What a nice ending for the semester before Christmas break. Hopefully Ludocraft people pay us a visit in spring time!

Happy Indepence Day Finland!
Happy Birthday Finland!
On December the 6th we celebrate the Independence Day of Finland. Finland
became independent in 1917 so today is it's 96th birthday. Yesterday morning we took a moment at school and honored our independent country by raising the flag and singing a song called "Lippulaulu" which means "Flagsong".
Later we also had a little ceremony inside where students from different grades sang songs and read poems about Finland.
