Crate stacking and Leap of faith

Hey Guys,

Today we had not only kayaking, but also very thrilling activities called leap of faith and crate stacking. Really cool!

Leap of faith

After we had finished lunch, we began to pair up for crate stacking. But we all had to wait some time so the ones that weren't crate stacking took the leap of faith, which is basically just jumping into the great nothingness and getting saved by the rope around our waists. Cool experience, but a onetime thing. Although many of us went for a second or even third or fourth round.

Crate stacking

Crate stacking is called “Bierkistenstapeln” in Austria and we “joked” that it is very important to us, so many were competitive. Here is the official top three leaderboard:

1 Bene und David 18

2 Noah und Luis 17

3 Maxi und Benni 16

3 Matthi und Paul 16

As you see, the top three were close together and Bene and David even reached (but not broke) the all-time record at the Moorland Hall Crate stacking Competition.

This day was cool, anytime again 😉

Bye,

Luis, Noah and Paul

Capture the flag

Have you ever heard of or played the game capture the flag? It’s basically a game you play on a big space with two teams. Every team has a flag and they have to steal the flag of the others. When we were in Moorlandhall, one evening Jo announced we would go play Capture the flag on the moor. Like always, we had time to change so we would be dressed appropriately for the activities. We already knew there was a lot of mud on the moor so we put on rain trousers and coats (as always). On the field there were also a lot of spikey bushes with yellow flowers and they where very dangerous apparently. At the end it was 1:1 but Jo didn’t let us play another round, so it stayed like that - still, the two rounds were exciting and pretty fun. To sum up I liked to play Capture the flag with the class, but I wished we could have played another round (just to have a winner)! See you soon, Vicky

Mayflower Starting point

Hi guys, Benjamin here. I want to tell you about a very important place in Plymouth. It’s the starting point of the “Mayflower“ in the city‘s harbour. But let me tell you a bit about the ship: Looking for a place to practice their radical Christianity, about 100 English Puritans (an English christian movement) set off for America on the Mayflower on September 16, 1620. These Pilgrim Fathers unwittingly laid the foundation for the creation of the United States. It was really unbelieveable to stand there, knowing that the formation of such an important country began right there. All in all our trip to Plymouth was very cool and exciting. Bye

Free time activities

FREE TIME Everyday, mostly before lunch or after dinner we had some freetime to do whatever we wanted to on the grounds of Moorlandhall.When the weather was nice outside, which it luckily was almost everyday, we went on to the big field outside and played football, often till after nine in the evening. Sometimes our whole class was playing, sometimes we were only about half the class, but regardless it was very,very fun. Some of the time we were in the community room either playing „Stadt Land Vollpfosten“ or we were trying to build a 1000 piece puzzle while also talking about different topics. Some of us even played some songs on the piano and teached others to. When we were outside sometimes we also played volleyball.When the stars were shining beautifully outside we talked into the night. We really enjoyed having some free of any by ourselves. Bye, Alina & Alexandra :)
