Mrs Bingham recently went to Germany with 11 other Modern Foreign Language teachers, after receiving a CONGRATULATIONS LETTER from Comenius, who promote languages. However, before she was informed she had to apply and say how it would benefit the school kids. "It was a VERY long application form" She said, when interviewed by Eloise, Tino and Monika, 6SR.
What happened when you got there?
"We had a group meeting immediately and we had some traditional German dinner which was white asparagus, potatoes, and schnitzel"
Did you stay at a hotel or where you provided with living accomodation?
" No, I did'nt stay at a hotel but I did stay with this lovely German family. And basically try speak german for the whole night- which was a bit of a challenge, but like I say they were lovely."
What did you do on your second day?
"We went on a bycicle tour to see sites related to the Second World World War. By touring the city, we learned about Germany and I made amazing friends."
What was the school like?
They were really understanding of the english language, so i had to speak very little german. I brought with me some uniform for them to try on. They thought it was very funny"
Did you enjoy it?
"yes. it was the best expirence ever"
