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