From Jena to Okehampton

 

At 6 p.m. on Sunday we started from the school and drove by bus to the ferry in France. At 8 a.m. on Monday we took the ferry from Calais to Dover. After that we went to Okehampton by bus. We went for 8 hours. Then we walked to the shopping centre in Okehampton and back. It was a hard walk. After that we cooked pasta with tomato sauce. At 9 p.m. we slept.

Sands School

 

8 o’clock we got up and had breakfast. Then we prepared our visit of the Museum of Dartmoor Life. There, we worked at the tasks and looked at the museum. After that we ate cream tea and we drank black tea with milk and had some time to go shopping in Okehampton. Then we went to Sands School in Ashburton. There the students showed us the school. We could take part in the school meeting. After that we talked to the English students. and  had “Fish & Chips” in Ashburton. Finally we went home.

Tuesday, 15 September

 

 

We woke up at 7.30 o’clock. First we had breakfast and made sandwiches with cheese, ham,

salad, butter and tomatoes. Then we had an English lesson about “How to tell the way”. We walked down to the town of Okehampton. There we did a town rally with different tasks, e.g. “How much is a postcard to Germany?”, “How many people live in Okehampton?” and we had to take pictures of letter boxes, English houses and a place where people can relax. After this we went on a walk through Dartmoor National Park. There were ponies and sheep and maybe pheasants. We walked through a forest. That was funny and difficult because it was very steep. We had a picnic on soft grass. In the youth hostel we made dinner and then listened to music, danced and took a shower.

Sands School II

 

Today we were at Sands School. There we painted the schoolyard with chalk. It was a little bit boring. Then we climbed on the climbing wall and talked to the English students. After that we went to Hound Tor in Dartmoor and climbed it up. It was very funny and a little bit dangerous. We visited an old village. We went back to the hostel and had free time. In the evening we read the Sherlock Holmes story “Hound of the Baskervilles”.
