Bern

On Wednesday, the 23 of March the whole school went on a school trip. When we arrived in Bern Grace met us at the train station. We had 2 stops to make, 1 at the Paul Klee Zentrum and the other at the National History Museum. When we entered the Paul Klee Zentrum Sarah and Robin were there waiting for us. When we had put all of our things in the lockers we went to see Paul Klee's artwork. Each of us had to do a piece of creative writing. I did, two women in the wood. There was a lake nearby so we went and ate lunch there. Once we finished we went to the National History Museum. The Lower School had to go to the medieval expedition because that is what we the Lower School is working on in history. Everyone had a great time.

Lockers

A few weeks ago we got our new lockers. They are red and blue plus we switched back to our old locker room. Our locker room also has ski racks. Millie can even fit in a locker. I have one locker for books and pencils and another for my bag.

New Student

We got a new student called Michael. He comes from Azerbaijan. He speaks Russian, a little bit of German, English, French and he is learning Chinese. He is 12 years old. He knows how to create robots and also he knows how to create apps for iTunes. He is a really good friend.

Shakespeare

We have a new school mascot, or at least until April. Miss Prendiville's friend got 2 poodles from Canada, a girl and a boy. She got them 6 months ago. The only problem is that the girl is in heat so they had to separate them, that’s when Miss Prendiville offered to dog-sit.

Miss Prendiville is bringing him to school every day so he will not get bored at home. All the students absolutely love Shakespeare. He is a really rare, brown colour and he is the most gentle, cute dog ever. He is 8 months old and he is really huge, but the funny thing is that he still has to grow a lot. The only time we heard him bark was when Miss Prendiville had to leave the office just for five minutes. We will miss him when he will leave. :(

Guest Speaker

We went to Clarens to see the magnificent Jamie Andrew who is a Scottish mountaineer. Unfortunately, he had a very bad experience with his best friend, Jamie Fischer, who died right next to him at the top of the French Alps. Although he was lucky to survive, he had terrible frost bite and had to have both hands and feet amputated otherwise he would have died. After being in the hospital for 6 months, he still continued mountaineering and many other sports for example: skiing, rock climbing, ice climbing, snowboarding and most important of all, marathon running. He also had three babies with his wife who stayed with him the whole time in the hospital. After this really sad story, he juggled for us with tennis rackets stuck to his arms. It was really fun to see. So after all, that day wasn`t so sad! His story was just magnificent!
