Month: November 2017

After arriving back in Germany, our Erasmus+ team went back to business.. but moreover, we found some time to play St. Greg´s ball for ourselves. Our 6 “english students” were explaining and building teams and only minutes after starting the game, everyone was having fun 🙂

Today is our last day.. after arriving at school, we had our tournament of the sports St. Gregory´s has invented in advance. We have already played and trained it on Monday, so everyone knew how to play it. We had a tournament with the sports teacher from St. Gregory´s as a referee and UK was the winner in the end. We had a lot of fun playing this new kind of sports, which consists of a mixture between basketball and netball. Finland was singing the hymn in advance and Germany was cheerleading and screaming to cheer on the other teams.[…]

“Today will be another fun day” That is what Miss Medcroft said this morning, and she was absolutely right! We took the coach for a 20 minute ride to Bristol for a visit of the FLIP OUT trampoline park. After the safety briefing, everyone could try out the trampolines and check how it feels like to do an hour of jumping and what effect it has on the body. After exhausting jumping sessions, we had lunch together before going back to Bath. Back into Bath, we have all been on a tour through the historic sites of Bath, where we[…]

… and a lot more happened today! After meeting again in the Bond Pavilion at St. Gregory’s, we all went on a coach to travel to the centre of Bath, where the Mayor was waiting for us.  Mr. Ian Gilchrist had prepared a friendly welcome for all of us and was willing to answer every questions of our students.      After this nice meeting in the Guild Hall of Bath we got to know the Roman Baths. Every student could walk around on his/her own with the opportunity to listen to an audioguide in English or German.      After seeing[…]

After the daily meeting at the Bond Pavillion at St. Gregory‘s we drove to the Sports University of Bath, where our students were separated into three groups rotating through different workshops: trampoline jumping, hand eye skill improvement and Badminton. All of our students and teachers were amazed by the facilities and the professional equipment the staff had to offer for our Erasmus+ team. After having lunch, we got a tour through the entire university and got to know almost every department… What a sporty and fun day to explore the University and to improve everybody‘s skills in these three kinds[…]

Monday 13th of November 2017: First night is done : all students are fine and very friendly welcomed in their host families. All together registered in the morning at Saint Gregory’s School in Bath. After a warm welcome from the administration and Head of School the teams practised England´s newly devised sports game.     4 new mixed teams, new rules and most important for all of them: fair play and passing the basketball as often as they can. The hardest challenge for everyone of them was to understand the rules explained by the highly motivated PE teacher. Every team had lots[…]

5am in the morning and 6 students and 3 teachers are already on their way to England for an exciting week for our project. After arriving at London Heathrow we got a quick breakfast and then started an exciting day by taking the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station. From there we went to the Buckingham Palace. Today is Remembrance Day in England and thousands of people were on their way to the Buckingham Palace… We had a front row place at the fence, directly next to the entrance to the Palace.   What happened next was amazing and will never be forgotten:[…]
