Eden Project




 Today we were at the Eden Project. The Eden Project is a Botanic Garden in Cornwall. It opened for the first time in March 2001 and since then many people visit it everyday and today we were some of them. The Eden Project has 6 big domes where they changed the temperature and the climate so that exotic plants could live there. It was really impressing that exotic plants could really live there. The air was really humid. 

We made a Workshop there and also learned about the climate change and how it is affecting the plants. Before that though, we got some worksheets to do in the rain forest. We hat to look for plants with the adaptations asked, which were for example thorns, draw them and then explain what the adaptations are good for.

Then we had some time to just walk around by ourselves to have a look at everything.

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 :)
