My week in Mengen

Hey guys!

I spent a wonderful week in Mengen which is a small town in the middle of nowhere. I got to know the pupils of grade 6 and we had a lot of fun together.

I was allowed to join the English lessons and the pupils informed me about their favourite free time activities during a TBLL lesson. The pupils were friendly and open-minded and they wanted to know more about me. So I told them about me as well.

On Wednesday, we even went to a climbing park in Bad Waldsee together. In the beginning I was really afraid because we had to climb very high through the treetops. But then there was a nice guy who explained everything to us. He gave us helmets and instructed us how to use the ropes. After that I felt much better. And in the end we had sooooooooooooo much fun – although it was raining very heavily. We were all wet and tired, but the day was awesome.

But this wasn’t the only thing I did in Mengen. On Friday, we spent one night at school. We were playing funny games and after making our own popcorn, we were watching a film. The pupils were divided into two classrooms. I was sleeping in the girls’ classroom. I made many new friends there. “Giri” is a very nice German giraffe for example. After a very long night, we were having breakfast at school.

This was a week full of new experiences and nice people…but the journey will go on!!!!

See you soon!
