Saturday 3

Today, Saturday, we have spent our time visiting a special place. We had to move to Vila Franca de Xira to enjoy of a huge habitat characterized by having some special conditions which allow animals to live in a perfect ecosystem. Also in there, they are studied and classified by scientists just for them to be controlled and protected. We have acted like ones by observing different types of animals and knowing even the deepest curiosities we could imagine. The explanations and activities were interesting, that's why we felt very glad to discover all that information about animals, concretly birds. The conclusion of this journey is the fact that people cause a rellevant impact on other human beings and we have to be aware of caring our home and the ones we share it to. On the way back, we crossed the bridge Vasco da Gama, which is 14 km long....

We presented the results  in front of the other students and teachers. Afterwards we had lunch at the school and we took the train and went to a corn maze. We had to look for points and stamp that we had passed through there. Finally we went home to rest a little after such a intensive day.

Tuesday

Tuesday was the last full day in Babenhausen. After waking up we met in school. Then we started to work and we planned about what we're going to do the next months in our Erasmus project. One of the main activities we did was to prepare and design our international herbarium.

Little after 13.00, we had lunch while some brave students sang and karaoked in front of everyone on the stage. Then we went on the train to a bowling club where we spent our evening smashing and striking in the bowling lanes.

We ended the day with a farewell party in the school at which every Erasmus student attended. We have had an unforgettable week in Germany.

Saturday report By Dídac Jiménez

To start the second day in Germany, we woke up and we had breakfast with our families.

Then we all met in the train station to go to a nature park where we were able to climb trees and we made a high-rope course. It was an incredible experience. We ate a sandwich there and we went to Frankfurt city center. We had lunch on our own with some German friends and then we visited the Garden of heavenly peace. It was very beautiful!

Next we went to some souvenirs shops so we can bring a detail for our families.

We caught the train to return to Babenhausen, but the train stopped working for half an hour. This time we used it to talk with our friends and to have a great moment, so it wasn’t that boring.

When we finally arrived at Babenhausen we went to our homes and we had dinner.

We have to rest because tomorrow will be a very fun day with our families.

Friday report by Claudia Serigó

This has been the first day that we’ve been in the school, but not the first in Germany. Each student arrived with their German parner, and then we took some chairs and sat in a circle. We played a game that consisted of throwing a ball and saying our name and where we came from. Then we played more games to get to know each other a little more. Then in groups, each group made up of German students and five students from the same country took a tour of the school and the town of Babenhausen. We made some presentations from each country before going to lunch. We ate in the school dining room with music and then went to take a train to visit nice Geligenstadt

After the visit, we ate some ice cream, went to the station and came back again.

Everyone went to their house and then met again to go to the bowling alley and spent the rest of the day together there.

We took the train back and everyone went home to rest for tomorrow.
