Last Weekend!

Marie: Even when it is already in the middle of the week, I want to write about my last weekend. On Saturday we wanted to do a barbecue. So we went to the super market and we bought some really yummy stuff. Then we went to a barbecue place close to my home, but sadly it didn’t work. Krissi and I went all the way back to cook everything at my homestay. In the end we had a nice meal, but it was already four o’clock and we ate lunch J

On Sunday we went to the museum here in Dunedin. It was really cool. In the Discovery centre, which was just 5$, you could do a lot of cool things. You could try out funny experiments and then you could go into a butterfly centre, where you could see a lot of different kinds of butterflies.

Netball

Ann: Yesterday my hostmum, her daughter, my two hostsisters and I first went shopping and then we went to a netball game. It was quite cool. It was a women competition and our team won! Netball is a quite important game in new zealand, many kids at school play it and many people watch it. It was a very cool game, we had a lot of fun!

SHOPPING SHOES

bees: You may already know that St. Hilda´s has a formal in a few weeks and of course we are all going to go. That´s why we now all need dresses and/or shoes. So today I went shopping with my homestay mum and her sister who is in my year group at St. Hilda´s. I´ve found some pretty cool shoes. They´re blue (of course) and perfectly match my black dress :)                                                                                  

Ou-ed Mt. Cargill

Lena: Yesterday we went with Outdoor Education for a walk down Mt. Cargill. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best. But never the less we had some really amazing views.
We went down the Bethune Track, which was really cool,  and saw where the mountain bikers do their biking.
It was a really funny and we had some good german snacks :D  But we had to were so many wool clothes and polyprop tops and a lot of other clothes, because at the top of Mt. Cargill it was so windy! :D

Visitors & School trips

Marie: As you may already have noticed, the school in New Zealand is totally different from school in Germany. In the lastccouple weeks, all the classes did a lot of field trips or got visitor. I want to write a bit more about what exactly we do.
For example, we went to the beach with our Bioclass. There we counted cockles (a special kind of mussels). About this we now have to write an essay. In Germany, you never do that much field trips.
As I already said, we get a lot of visitors in the classes. In Health Education, we first had a doctor visiting us for two lessons and now we have a police women, how is talking about drugs and all this stuff.
From other classes, I know that they do field trips and so on as well. You go rock climbing, golfing or to the aquarium.

I really like that we get that much visitors and that we do field trips. It makes school a bit more interesting and varied.

Asian Food

Today we were at an Asian food restaurant with all internationals from our school. It was really cool and a lot of fun!!! I ate so much because this asian staff is defenetly one of the best things I have ever eaten. I love it although eating with chopstics is't a easy thing that's why it took a million years to eat one bowl of rice!!!

"Goodbye Picnic" at the beach

Lena: Yesterday Katharina (both), Jule, Krissi, Anne, Britta, Sophia and I organised a "surprise picnic" at the beach for Kyra. We told her we would meet in town and would do something together. But instead Jule and Kathy went to Kyra's house and picked her up. They told her a lot of lies which she believed and they went to the beach without any anticipation. Then we had our picnic and after that we run down some steep dunes. This was so fun :D The last time we all ran down together, but we were too fast and fall all over. :D

It was a really nice day :)
