Day 4
Guten Tag,
Phantasialand was incredible yesterday. The students had an amazing time on all the different and exciting rides.
The chocolate factory was also very interesting. Although the general feeling seemed be that the shop attached was even more enticing.
We all then enjoyed a frikadellen dinner. Afterwards Mr Grant again lead another popular session of Danish Longball.
Mrs McIlveen then lead a prize giving to show the staff's appreciation for the fantastic way students had conducted themselves over the trip.
After a good night's sleep and a decent breakfast, we're all safely on the coach - homeward bound. We're currently on schedule to arrive at eight thirty this evening.
Bis heute Abend.
Day 3
We're now on our way to Phantasialand. (8:05am UK time).
BisMorgen.
Day 2
Guten Tag,
We all had a wonderful day. The adventure started with a fast paced trek to Reichsburg, which sits at the top of a steep hill. The views made the hard work worth it. The castle tour uncovered slayed polarbears, fallen knights and secret passageways.
At the end of our guided tour, Mausi the Falcon performed spectacular stunts which displayed his speed and agility. Much to the spectators delight as he dived and sped close overhead. The students participated bravely allowing Dipsi the owl to swoop in and land on their arms for a treat.
After shopping and lunch, we all took a relaxing trip down the river admiring the beautiful surroundings.
Then Mr Grant lead an exciting game of Danish longball.
Day 1
All students and staff arrived safely and on time yesterday. We were treated to a Schnitzel dinner, which we all enjoyed. Mr Grant then lead outdoor games.
