GERMAN EXCHANGE 2019
On Tuesday 26th March we welcomed our German
Exchange pupils and teachers from Bad Laasphe. There
was an excellent atmosphere as pupils greeted their
partners, with many older pupils excited to see their friends from
Germany, and younger pupils ready to form new friendships with
their new partners.
Following this was a very successful project day where both
German and English students demonstrated fantastic team work,
creativity and language skills as they designed and constructed
mascots to represent the German exchange. There were lots of
great designs – we were really impressed with the end results!
In addition, pupils were then given the chance to experience
some British culture together with a trip to Worcester. Pupils
took the time not only to learn about Worcester but used the
day as an opportunity to form bonds between themselves and
their partners. It was a fantastic day and all pupils were a credit
to their schools.
Our German visitors also had the chance to experience a day
in the life of a Wilnecote pupil taking part in various different
lessons. At the weekend our exchange pupils had the chance to
experience family life in Britain and see the different things our
country has to offer.
As always it was an emotional goodbye for some as we waved
our visitors off on Sunday afternoon.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff,
students and their families who took part in and supported the
exchange this year – it has been greatly appreciated!
