A balloon released as part of a school literary project in Bristol has been found in Finland having travelled more than 1,200 miles (1,931km).
Pupils from Headley Park Primary school launched the balloons a week ago with a tag attached to every one listing each child's favourite word.
The furthest travelled tag, written by Sam Daniels-Roff, arrived in Helsinki along with her favourite word, "game".
It had been found in woods near the city by a girl called Katariina.
She had been out walking her puppy Ettu who discovered the balloon and tag.
The pupils are hoping for further replies from further afield during next week.
