Finnish log houses

Pupils of class 6 in Alakylä school have studied facts about Finnish log houses. With the help of their teachers Pekka Kivelä and Matti Vesa the kids have learnt about building strategies of log houses within their technical work lessons. The pupils made the structure of the houses, built up the walls of the log houses as well as the roof. They will also make a door frame, windows and other details in the log houses. All the parts of the house are made of wood. Pupils will make altogether 3 Finnish log houses, 2 of which will be given to our project partners in Croatia and Czech Republic. For transport the building blocks will be numbered, the parts of the houses will be separated from each other and the houses will be re-assembled in their future home schools. The pupils have enjoyed the building task very much.
