0:00:14.477,0:00:15.667
For the past year

0:00:15.667,0:00:18.247
I have been working in a detective agency.

0:00:18.677,0:00:20.686
And I'd like to share a story with you

0:00:20.686,0:00:23.478
of one case we had[br]in our detective agency.

0:00:24.287,0:00:26.298
Our detective agency has become

0:00:26.608,0:00:30.518
one of those agencies that[br]gets the oldest cases around.

0:00:30.828,0:00:34.777
In this case that I am going[br]to share with you was no exception.

0:00:35.477,0:00:37.938
Everything you are about to hear[br]happen in Helsinski

0:00:38.188,0:00:39.948
during the Spring of 2016

0:00:42.448,0:00:44.626
It all got started when our boss

0:00:44.626,0:00:48.137
sent us a weird short clue from Jyväskylä.

0:00:48.807,0:00:50.627
It has only three words in it.

0:00:51.807,0:00:55.337
[BERTEL LILJEQUIST PAAVALI]

0:00:56.287,0:00:58.737
First we were baffled by his message.

0:00:58.737,0:01:01.088
What are we supposed [br]to do with this information?

0:01:01.088,0:01:02.818
So we had a meeting,[br]we sat around

0:01:03.198,0:01:06.178
trying to remember anything[br]related to these three words.

0:01:06.398,0:01:10.117
We knew there was a church called Paavali[br]in Vaakuna, Helsinki,

0:01:10.857,0:01:12.438
but that was about it.

0:01:14.238,0:01:17.049
Finally, one of my colleagues [br]blurted out the obvious:

0:01:17.049,0:01:19.808
Just put those three words[br]to the search engine.

0:01:20.378,0:01:21.778
And we did that.

0:01:22.019,0:01:23.909
And the very first results

0:01:24.149,0:01:25.839
Paavalinkirkko in Helsinki

0:01:25.839,0:01:28.359
or St Paul's Church in Helsinski.

0:01:29.529,0:01:31.758
So what did we do with this information?

0:01:32.108,0:01:33.959
We planned our operation.

0:01:34.029,0:01:36.079
We checked the route to the church.

0:01:36.079,0:01:38.640
We packed all our cool gadgets and gear.

0:01:38.890,0:01:41.190
And a little bit of snack and off we went

0:01:41.190,0:01:42.716
snooping in the Church.

0:01:43.186,0:01:46.280
In the church we met helpful priest.

0:01:46.500,0:01:49.480
He was happy to show us around[br]and answer all our questions.

0:01:49.800,0:01:53.279
And during all that conversations [br]and questions

0:01:53.279,0:01:55.189
we managed to find something

0:01:55.189,0:01:57.841
that didn't quite seem[br]to belong to the church.

0:01:58.281,0:02:00.800
It was a tiny old wrinkly paper scroll.

0:02:01.170,0:02:02.519
And when open up,

0:02:02.519,0:02:05.020
seems to be a part of a bigger map.

0:02:05.160,0:02:07.520
At this point some of my colleagues[br]just went crazy.

0:02:07.740,0:02:11.040
We never had a case like this before.

0:02:12.070,0:02:12.950
All I know

0:02:13.220,0:02:15.980
we got three more clues.

0:02:15.980,0:02:19.001
similar kinds of clues [br]that all took us to villages' sights.

0:02:20.031,0:02:21.141
The second one

0:02:22.211,0:02:23.250
had two words.

0:02:24.239,0:02:26.079
[AHRENBERG NARINKKA]

0:02:26.819,0:02:29.250
You know what I am guessing?

0:02:29.250,0:02:31.830
This took us to the Helsinki synagogue.

0:02:32.129,0:02:34.611
And the third one had even numbers in it.

0:02:34.841,0:02:35.601

0:02:35.801,0:02:38.342
[1862 1868 Gornostajev]

0:02:38.682,0:02:44.140
This took us to that beautiful [br]Uspenskin Katedraali in Helskinski

0:02:44.520,0:02:46.931
In both of these places[br]we found another map.

0:02:48.912,0:02:53.441
The fourth clue would have [br]taken us to Jyväskylä,

0:02:53.441,0:02:55.047
The Muslim prayer house.

0:02:55.407,0:02:56.789
That was too far for us,

0:02:56.789,0:02:58.382
so we ask our boss in Jyväskylä

0:02:58.382,0:03:00.509
If she could do the snooping for us.

0:03:01.009,0:03:02.152
Luckily she could,

0:03:02.542,0:03:05.402
And she managed to find [br]that fourth missing piece.

0:03:06.652,0:03:08.612
When we combined those four pieces,

0:03:08.612,0:03:11.740
we found that it formed [br]a map of Suomenlinna.

0:03:12.270,0:03:15.662
This old fortress island[br]off the coast of Helsinki.

0:03:16.212,0:03:18.092
And what is even more exciting,

0:03:18.472,0:03:21.422
on the fourth map there was[br]this big red X-mark

0:03:21.822,0:03:25.152
right on the Kuninkaanportti, [br]the King's Gate there as well.

0:03:27.532,0:03:29.039
But at this point

0:03:29.239,0:03:32.093
I will let one of my colleagues[br]tell you what happens next.

0:03:32.683,0:03:33.631
(Video)

0:03:33.951,0:03:38.471
[ Well, we kind of made the first map.]

0:03:38.931,0:03:44.661
[ And then with the help of the map[br]we went to the King's Gate]

0:03:45.073,0:03:53.543
[Then, at the King's Gate, [br]we found the key from the moat]

0:03:56.253,0:03:57.863
[ Who found it?]

0:03:57.863,0:03:58.945
[Girl: I did!]

0:03:59.165,0:04:01.253
[ Where did you find it from? ]

0:04:01.253,0:04:03.123
[From a rock, it was attached to it.]

0:04:03.123,0:04:05.323
[ So how did it feel like? ]

0:04:05.323,0:04:06.476
[ Exciting ]

0:04:06.616,0:04:09.595
[ I remember a little girl[br]who was quite thrilled.]

0:04:09.595,0:04:10.705
[ (Laughter) ]

0:04:11.565,0:04:13.375
[ It was exciting, right? ]

0:04:13.375,0:04:14.146
[Girl: Yes ]

0:04:15.046,0:04:19.145
[ I was really wondering, [br]where does the key belong to? ]

0:04:19.455,0:04:21.405
[ And we never found it out. ]

0:04:21.485,0:04:22.292
Yeah.

0:04:22.612,0:04:24.922
My colleagues are a little bit younger.

0:04:24.942,0:04:26.776
In fact I have a confession to make:

0:04:26.986,0:04:29.267
those are my pupils in our pre-school.

0:04:29.267,0:04:30.899
I am a pre-school teacher.

0:04:31.689,0:04:35.817
And we had a detective agency[br]called Leopardit or Leopards.

0:04:36.537,0:04:37.537
And,[br]

0:04:39.427,0:04:42.717
we are three educators and free thinkers.

0:04:45.447,0:04:49.359
We had this detective agency running[br]throughout the school year.

0:04:49.739,0:04:51.537
with different kind of cases,

0:04:51.817,0:04:54.948
and different kind of [br]or different learning objectives.

0:04:56.548,0:04:59.297
But you might still be wondering why?

0:04:59.527,0:05:01.577
What happens to that key we found?

0:05:01.877,0:05:05.016
For all of you English speakers,[br]we found a key, old looking key.

0:05:05.186,0:05:07.057
What happened to that key?

0:05:07.257,0:05:08.456
What was it for?

0:05:08.486,0:05:10.518
Well we took it to the national museum

0:05:10.708,0:05:13.867
because it was, looked really old,[br]to get it evaluated.

0:05:13.867,0:05:16.009
We still haven't heard back[br]from the museum,

0:05:16.139,0:05:17.688
but I am sure we will soon.

0:05:17.838,0:05:20.115
and maybe the next year's detectives

0:05:20.215,0:05:22.445
want to find out what that key opens.

0:05:22.445,0:05:24.590
What else there is still to be found.

0:05:26.270,0:05:27.170
So,

0:05:27.700,0:05:29.870
why did I want to share [br]this story with you?

0:05:30.028,0:05:33.365
We knew that adventure[br]is a great tool for learning.

0:05:34.403,0:05:39.554
And with this exciting narrative running[br]throughout the school year,

0:05:40.804,0:05:45.963
we managed to get a lot of[br]learning objectives fulfilled.

0:05:46.489,0:05:50.322
For example, we met a lot of [br]new letters, new numbers.

0:05:50.712,0:05:53.341
And we even managed to read maps.

0:05:53.671,0:05:55.542
We got to know our city better.

0:05:56.792,0:05:58.482
And most importantly,

0:05:58.632,0:06:01.982
most importantly we got [br]to know ourself better.

0:06:02.352,0:06:05.932
Because we have to remember that preschool[br]isn't just about academic skills

0:06:05.942,0:06:07.022
It's about growing.

0:06:07.022,0:06:08.792
It's about learning about yourself,

0:06:08.792,0:06:10.492
how to take care of yourself.

0:06:11.112,0:06:14.802
Having success in an adventure like we did

0:06:15.472,0:06:16.683
builds that confidence.

0:06:17.013,0:06:20.362
that inner feeling that you are[br]going to get through no matter what.

0:06:21.272,0:06:23.322
And come that first school day:

0:06:23.322,0:06:24.971
with new teachers, new classmates,

0:06:24.971,0:06:26.464
new school, new everything.

0:06:26.594,0:06:28.573
And with that same confidence

0:06:28.573,0:06:31.253
they faced the King's Gate[br]in Suomenlinna.

0:06:31.673,0:06:32.384
Thank you.

0:06:32.794,0:06:35.293
(Applause)
