DAY+2

= Welcome to Day 2 of the Berlin Camp   =

FULLWOOD BLOG Hello all,

All is going well over here in Berlin. We all managed to get a lot more sleep last night and feel much more refreshed and ready for a tour of Berlin this afternoon! Yesterday we had our first workshop in preparation for our Lion King themed show later this week. Annabella and Lucie got groovy with some street dance, whilst Schneeha has been selected to play the part of Simba in the show! Nabila has even earned herself a little solo in the play too :) Meanwhile Danyal and Kevin have been doing us proud in the band with Danyal on the bass guitar and Kevin on the trumpet. Viktor and Amanpreet have been singing their hearts out. Yusuf and Megan have been feeling the beats of the samba druma and Adam has been on the roof top terrace tagging in his graffiti sessions.

Yesterday we all discovered Berlin Zoo where Elwood met his long lost cousin and Viktor met his namesake. In the evening we played Yahtzee, Uno and Ludo in mixed groups, having to negotiate the rules with our european friends. Miss Jones managed a big German sausage and tonight we will be trying to get some answers to your sausage themed questions.

Check out the picturess of us all in action on our trip so far.

Lots of love across the borders and of course a very happy Saint George's day to you all,

Miss Birkett, Miss Jones, Mrs Martin, Mr Rawlings, Elwood and of course all the children

= The second day Monday 22nd April, 2013 = Again the sun is shining, when at 8:00 o'clock "all the kids of Europe" meet for breakfast. And short before 9:00 o'clock we come together in front of the St. Michael's Home for a first group photo. Afterwards we leave for the different bus stops. Everything works well, the bus ride is no problem. All the kids and the teachers sit upstairs in the double deckers and have a beautiful view at the Kudamm. We leave the buses at Uhland Street and change for the U-Bahn and go to Hallesches Tor. Bang on time we arrive at the KMA ( Kreuzberger Musikalische Aktion). After a warm welcome the kids and the adults are divided into six different groups/workshops and start their work. Yes, really- in the dance workshop, the drumming workshop, the theatre workshop, the graffiti workshop, the band workshop and the choir workshop everybody is working very hard. In fact two house before lunch and one and a half hour after lunch we labour - and the results you can see and hear are really satisfying. It's amazing what we have learned in such a short time. But there is no time to relax - now we have to go to the Berlin Zoo. Thanks to our red caps everybody is to be seen everywhere - fantastic! Each "schoolgroup" is wandering or better scuffling through the zoo in their own tempo and manner. At 6.00 o'clock pm, when the zoo is closing down we line up for our trip home with the M19 and M29 buses. The Kudamm we already know very well now. After a short breather we meet for dinner in our lounge, delicious noodles with gravy fill our stomachs. And then the real highlight of the day starts - our well prepared games-meeting. In mixed groups of four or five kids we sit together and play UNO, Ludo or Yatzee. And now we all have to speak English - in short it's fantastic how good the communication works. At 10:15 pm the party is over. Good night.

BRUKSSKOLAN

Pa morgonen at vi en god frukost - macka, flingor med mjolk, ost, skinka och nutella! Alla nöjda.

Väl framme pa kulturcentart delade vi in oss i grupperna och alla startade direkt. Andrea och Suli (ty) fick hoppa in för körledaren som opererade en tand. Lunch: Linssoppa - nu har de smakat det. Vi har ofta frukt med oss och igar fick de kex och möjlighet att köpa glass, sa de klarar sig bra!

Pa eftermiddagen besökte vi Berliner Zoo. Toppenväder, alla djur man kan tänka sig, lekplats, tomma kamerabatterier...

Middag pa kvällen: Spagetti och köttfärssas. Därefter delades alla in i grupper om fyra där varje sprak var representerat och ALLA spelade Yatzi, Fia eller UNO. De fixade det!!! Läggdags kl 22 och de flesta Comeniuselever somnade snabbt.

Vill ni läsa mer ingaende har ni en längre text pa bade tyska och engelska...

BJÖRKNÄSSKOLAN ====Igår kväll åt vi middag tillsammans och visade varandra olika bitar av våra olika länder. Det var sång och dans och stor show. Skolan från Höganäs visade Lussetåg. Det gick bra att berätta om de svenska uppfinningarna även om det var väldigt pirrigt att gå upp på scen. Vi hade tränat flera gånger innan som tur var. Vi fick varsin kasse med en massa grejer i. Bl a en tröja och namnbricka som vi ska ha när vi åker till verkstäderna om en stund. I eftermiddag ska vi gå till Berlin Zoo och efter middag har vi spelkväll. Vi måste spela med andra som vi inte känner och prata engelska med varandra!====

Men nu är det först frukost!
