Newspaper 3 - 2 0 1 2 I S S U E T H R E E
It was three years ago that we first met in Italy during a teacher´s conference to set up an
international Comenius project. And here we are … a lot of work, new experiences, encoun-
ters, an online webpage and three editions of our own newspaper, fun and disillusions and
especially new friendships later. Time seems to have flown by very fast … which is a good
thing, because it means we fully enjoyed this project.
Did we achieve the goals we set out to do ? Probably not entirely but is that necessary or the
main goal of this kind of projects? Or is it maybe more to discover that besides the diffe-
rences between pupils and teachers, the organisation of our schools, our countries and cul-
ture – we in fact have so much more in common than the things that divide us.
We are all passionate about human beings, education and Europe. We are all keen on dis-
covering new challenges and we all walked this undiscovered path together.
We can be proud and thankful of what our pupils realised over this period of two years. May-
be not because it made them smarter or their grades yent up in a spectacular way, but more
because it made them richer in ever possible way. And that is more than we could have as-
ked for.
Enjoy the fruit of their labour in this last issue of our newspaper!

The Swedish artist Oskar Linnros
Hans Oskar Linnros, born August 15, 1983 in Sundbyberg, Sweden and is a Swedish musician. He started out as a rapper in the alternative hip hop duo Snook together with Daniel Adams-Ray. They released two albums and received both praise and heavy criticism. Snooks unorthodox hip hop
was met by comments that the band wasn’t keeping it real and the fact that Adams-Ray spent his teenage years in „Lidingö“, that made critics to call them as “Upper class rappers”. Despite the critics, the band had many hits, amd received awards from radio station P3, The Swedish
Hip-hop Awards 2003, and best Swedish band at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006.
The band Snook drifted apart. Daniel Adams-Ray attended design school, while Linnros started producing other artists such as the rapper Petter and the singer Veronica Maggio. The album Linnros produced and wrote for
Maggio was nominated for five Swedish Grammies. The two had met while working on a remix for Petter and became romantically involved.
In June 2010 Oskar Linnros released „Vilja Bli“, that was an album he had written, played and produced. The album contained hardly any rap vocals at all and was quickly compared to Swedish artists, for example Mauro Scocco, Orup and Peter LeMarc, artists that were extremely popular in
Scandinavia in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Linnros told that he wanted to bring back that sound, but with an updated version. He also named Donny
Hathaway and Al Green as being influences. The album „Vilja Bli“ received lots of good reviews and the music journalist Jan Gradvall wrote that the album “is one of the most complete Swedish debut album I have heard and full of hits ”.

Agnes Carlsson
The pop-star Agnes Carlsson became fame as the winner of “Idol 2005” the second season of the Swe-dish Idol series. Agnes is the Swedish Idol artist that has been most successful international and has given out the big international hits “Release Me” and “On and On” that have reaching the top-ten in charts worldwide. “Release Me” topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs and peaked at three in the
United Kingdom. The song has selling over 900,000 copies worldwide.
In the spring of 2005 when Agnes was 17 year old, she auditioned for the second season of popular Swedish singing competition “Idol” in Gothenburg. The four judges were all hugely impressed by the strong power of her voice and she successfully passed through to the theatre rounds of the contest. Her vocals continued to impress the judges, and she made it to the semi-finals. Here take the audiences
over the power to decide who for continue the competition and Agnes did not get a place in the final eleven contestants and when she again failed to grab a place through the special 'wildcard' round, the judges decided to pass her through to the finals as the judges' choice contestant. After Agnes winning “Idol”, she signed a recording contract with Sony BMG and her debut single, "Right Here Right Now (My Heart Belongs to You)" was released.
A week later, the song debuted at number one on the Swedish singles chart, a position it held for six
weeks. The song was quickly certified double platinum for the sale of over 40,000 copies in Sweden. Just one week later her highly anticipated debut album “Agnes” was released. The album debuted at number one on the Swedish albums chart and was certified platinum in its first week of release and it has selling almost 40,000 copies.
International music Career
"Release Me" began to receive attention from abroad, with Roxy Recordings later stating that the song would receive an international release. The move marked the first time that Agnes' music would be dis-tributed outside Sweden. The single made its first international appearance in Denmark, where it peaked
at number six selling over 25,000 copies, but most of all, "Release Me" gained massive remarks in the UK and Agnes was signed to the small independent record company 3Beat, where the song received its
official UK release on May 31, 2009, proving to be a big hit, being picked up by most music channels, also with Agnes performing the song and a few others at G-A-Y, the UK's biggest gay nightclub venue and also a live performance on GMTV, one of the UK's biggest breakfast shows. Release Me hit the top of Radio 1's A-list play list, and eventually debuted at number three in the UK Singles Chart, and contin-ued to ride high in the top ten for many weeks. After eight weeks it managed to get a Silver certification with over 300,000 copies sold. In Ireland the song debuted at thirty-eight and later peaked at ten. "Release Me" continued to reign European charts during the summer and autumn, being released in
most European countries, becoming a success in France, Belgium, Italy and Germany. Agnes made her first appearance outside of Europe in late July after being signed by “Warner Music” in Australia with "Release Me" as her first Australian entering the Australian chart at number eleven in its first week of release. Her second international hit was “On and On” that also get a big attention.
Agnes has also been in the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest in 2009 and sing on the Wedding of Victo-ria, Crown Princess of Sweden, and Daniel Westling the song “When You Tell the World You're Mine”.

Nena : 99 Luftballons
(German)
Hast Du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich Von 99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Denkst Du vielleicht grad' an mich Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass sowas von sowas kommt
99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All Darum schickte ein General
Eine Fliegerstaffel hinterher Alarm zu geben, wenn es so war Dabei war da am Horizont Nur 99 Luftballons 99 Düsenjäger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk Das gab ein großes Feuerwerk Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons 99 Kriegsminister Streichholz und Benzinkanister Hielten sich für schlaue Leute Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen, Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht Dass es einmal soweit kommt Wegen 99 Luftballons
99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt es nicht
mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh ich meine Runden
Seh die Welt in Trümmern lie-
gen
Hab' nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an Dich und lass' ihn
fliegen

Lyrics Nena : 99 Balloons (English)
Do you have some time for me
Then I sing a song for you
Of 99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
Do you perhaps grad 'at me
Then I sing a song for you
Of 99 balloons
And that something comes from some-
thing
99 Red Balloons
On their way to the horizon
Was considered for UFOs from outer
space
So a general sent
A squadron behind
To give an alarm when it was so
It was there on the horizon
Only 99 balloons
99 Jet's
Everyone was a great warrior
Talked for Captain Kirk
That was a big fireworks
The neighbors have gathered nothing
And felt themselves equally dressed
It is shot on the horizon
To 99 balloons
99 Secretary of War
Matches and gasoline canisters
Talked for smart people
Already weathered fat booty
Scoring, war and wanted power
Man who would have thought the
That even if it comes
Because of 99 balloons
99 years war
Left no place for winners
Secretary of War no longer exists
And no Jet's
Today I make my rounds
See the world lie in ruins
Have found a red balloon
I think of you and let it go

Silbermond : Irgendwas das bleibt (German)
Sag mir, dass dieser Ort hier sicher ist und alles Gute steht hier still.
Und dass das Wort, dass du mir heute gibst, morgen noch genauso gilt.
Diese Welt ist schnell
und hat verlernt beständig zu sein. Denn Versuchungen setzen ihre Frist. Doch bitte schwör, dass wenn ich wieder komm,
alles noch beim Alten ist.
Gib mir'n kleines bisschen Sicherheit in einer Welt in der nichts sicher scheint. Gib mir in dieser schnellen Zeit irgendwas das bleibt.
Gib mir einfach nur'n bisschen Halt. Und wieg mich einfach nur in Sicherheit. Hol mich aus dieser schnellen Zeit.
Nimm mir ein bisschen Geschwindigkeit.
Gib mir was.. irgendwas, das bleibt.
ooohhh, ooohh
Auch wenn die Welt den Verstand verliert, das Hier bleibt unberührt. Nichts passiert ...
Gib mir ein kleines bisschen Sicherheit
in einer Welt in der nichts sicher scheint. Gib mir in dieser schnellen Zeit irgendwas das bleibt.
Gib mir einfach nur ein bisschen Halt. Und wieg mich einfach nur in Sicherheit. Hol mich aus dieser schnellen Zeit.
Nimm mir ein bisschen Geschwindigkeit.
Gib mir was.. irgendwas, das bleibt.
Silbermond : Irgendwas das bleibt
(English)
Tell me that this will be a safe place here And all good things have come to stay And that the word, which you gave me today,
Tomorrow will still be revered.
This world passes swiftly and forgot to persist
Because the siren’s song has clearly set its terms But please promise me When I return
Everything will still be the same.
Give me a little bit of certainty In a world where nothing seems safe at all Give me something - that lasts - in this- fast-paced world.
Give me a shoulder I can lean onto And lull me into safe certitude
Get me out of this rat race world
And slow the tempo in my life down Give me something, something that lasts.
And when the world’s going crazy It remains unchanged here We’re secure!
Give me a little bit of certainty
In a world where nothing seems safe at all Give me something - that lasts - in this – fast-paced world.
Give me a shoulder I can lean onto And lull me into safe certitude Get me out of this rat race world
And slow the tempo in my life down Give me something, something that lasts.

Från och med nu (Swedish)
Står i din port står bara still För en minut sen var du min en tredjedel av den jag var går hem

från och med du jag blir aldrig samma, från och med du

från och med du (somliga ljus brinner aldrig ut) står inte ut, står inte ut
ett år försvinner utan ljus även om ett sekel går så ska jag alltid vänta på vår tur från och med då
Från och med du, du,du,du från och med du, du,du,du
jag blir aldrig mer densamma , jag blir aldrig densamma som förut somliga ljus brinner aldrig ut och i din port har ingenting
förändrats utom just på din för bredvid ditt namn står ett namn till

DAY ONE: A NICE GERMAN WELCOME
1 3 I S S U E T H R E E
After three hours of driv-ing in our rental car, we finally arrived in the Ger-man village of Lemgo. There we met Matthias,
who took us to a nice white house, our house for the next week. When
we stepped, we immedi-ately liked it. Let´s give
you a little tour through our apartment.
This is our home; the
fourwindows at the bot-
tom of this house is the space we use. It is just a five minute walk from the
school and the shops aren’t far either. The house lies next to a big street, but we don’t have
a problem with the noise of the cars driving by. When you walk through the front door, there is a little hall. Behind that hall, we have our own kitchen in which we already made
pancakes, eggs, fish and potatoes with accompany-ing sauce: simply deli-
cious! Next to this kitch-en is a spacious living room (with a big flat
screen). Unfortunately for us, all the channels broad-cast in German.
In the same room, a bed is crammed in the corner. This bed is occupied by
pupil from Belgium.
The other room is a chamber with a (broken) shower and a lot of clos-ets, in this one, Laure and Roxanne.
The only room left, is our cosy bathroom. We have a toilet and a shower, and there is also the pos-
sibility to spy on the neighbours.
The other part of the day, we had a nice and warm welcome in the Heinrich Drake Schule in the room where the teachers normally pre-
pare their lessons. They had us taste delicious sausages and potato sal-
ad and when we were stuffed, some German pupils took us to the shopping street. The
combination of a long car trip and hot weather made us thirsty, so we went in to a local bar. The strange thing about Germany is that a Cola costs 2.10 euro in a bar,
Afterwards we went to a little student restaurant where we ate pizza and lasagne until our stom-achs were full. Then we
rolled ourselves back to the apartment and fell asleep.
DAY TWO: MEET THE LEMGOVIANS
After waking up at 6 am. and having eggs for breakfast, we started our trip to the school.
When everybody was pre-
sent, the German pupils could start their guided tour through the school. Our impression was that the new part of the Hein-rich Drake Schule is very
nice and modern. Their refectory or mensa is also very spacious and high-brow. The next thing we
could do, was follow one of the courses that the kids were having. I had
the opportunity to see one of the maths classes where the pupils had to measure things like the contours of the school or head and belly contours. A big difference between
the school in Belgium and the HDS in Lemgo is that pupils can walk around in class and say what is on
their mind. In Belgium we can’t say or do much in the classroom, otherwise
the teacher would send us to the secretary to get a red or a yellow paper. . This means that you will have detention on a Wednesday afternoon to clean up the school.
When we left the class, Frau Grote and her pupils made some really tasty sandwiches and ham-burgers. Because school
starts very early here (7:45 AM!) people don´t have a large breakfast
and take a ear.
DAY THREE: HERMANN
Yes, Belgians can cook.
Yes, Hannes can cook.
Because Wednesday we woke up with nice, hot and fresh pancakes. Pan-cakes with jam, sugar or nutella.
This sweet breakfast
made our morning com-plete even though we were late at school. The rest of the morning was filled with working on the online newspaper to make sure that it can be
finished on time. After working very concentrat-ed on this task, dinner was served in the mensa. All the pupils and teach-ers could eat until their
belly was full. But a belly
wouldn’t be completely full if there wasn’t any ice cream in it, so we went to an Italian Ice Café and took us a nice, big, cold coupe of ice cream with a
lot of fruit (offered by our nice teachers).
1 4
O N L I N E
This was necessary for our following trip to Detmold, where we could walk
around in the city for a while. But, since all the Belgians like a little bit of peace and quiet, our teachers took us to a local tavern to drink a nice cup of coffee in the sunshine.
Thereupon we took the bus to a very, very tall statue which they call the ‘Hermannsdenkmal’. While we were walking to this statue, suddenly two
teachers (dressed up as a
Roman and a German man) jumped out of the bushes, attacking each other which made the trip really amusing. The nice thing about this sculpture
was that you could get on top of it. Here, the view was magnificent ! You could see a lot of
neighbouring towns, sun-ny hills and shady forests. On the edge, there were a
lot of names of villages and the wind directions were also on it. The fact that this statue is made out of bronze is quite alarming for us because in
Belgium we have a lot of thieves who steal this metal to sell it on the market. That’s why we make fake bronze statues which are made out of wood and are painted in
the same colour of real bronze, this is much cheaper and the robbers
It was amazing to see the huge amount of stored bot-tles ( nine million !!!) and even more impressive to
see the speed of the pro-duction process with all kinds of new and huge ma-chines. A very friendly woman showed us around and offered us free bottles of soft drinks at the end of
the tour which was a nice and unexpected surprise.
Our last stop was a trip to a little restaurant in a cosy town, it was a copy of an old town they reconstruct-
ed on the side. Here we had our dinner all together. Our generous teacher paid our food, so the food tasted even better. When we left the restaurant, the stars were already shining. And
through this dark and quiet night, we took of in our fancy orange bus. When we arrived at school, we walked to our apartment in the silver moonlight.
At .6.00 am, wake up be-cause the teachers are coming over to have breakfast.
And, oh no, we still need to go to the shop for bread, ham and milk. The shop opens at 7.00 am (which is quite early for us) and the teach-ers are arriving at a quarter
past seven. So we had to be very fast to get every-thing ready in time. We started roasting bread with cheese and ham to make ‘croque monsieur’, a toast-
ed sandwich. When the ready and the teachers were there, we could start
serving coffee, tea, fresh orange juice and toast. They said they liked it, so we were very proud of our-
selves. After having this nice breakfast, the teachers cleaned the table and they drove us to school. The rest of the morning, all the stu-dents and teachers were
helping to finish the online
newspaper. To get our minds restful, frau Grote made these very tasty snacks for all of us. After this delicious break, we sat ourselves down in front of
the computer and finished the newspaper.
DAY Five: SPORT FOR SPAß
Our day started in a rush because we woke up to late, so we had to run to school (and we still were to late…). There we started
immediately with listening to known Swedish, German and Belgian songs, which
was really nice to hear. Then, for the last time, frau Grote and her class, made
these really delicious snacks. Thereafter a group started on making pizza and the other group went horseback riding. Our teachers helped prepare the oven and the pizza, and
we went to the horses. These horses were very easy to handle because they were specially trained
to work with small children. We once had to be the rider and once we had to be the
helper. After and before this trip, we all had to brush the horse to get it comfortable.

If you have been sportive, the chance is big you’re hungry after this. So we had some very nice pizza
(made by mister Brancka-erts ) and as desert, he also made this very tasty chocolate mousse. But on-ly eating wouldn’t be good for our health so Jens helped us with that prob-
lem. He taught us how to work with a diabolo and lots of other tricks. Then
there was another man who taught us how to play badminton.In these five
days, we had a really nice time. The German and Swedish people were very, very friendly and kind. And also our teachers were unforgettably nice!! We will never forget how nice
it was in Germany, and when we have the chance, we will be back! (Written
First visit at the Ex-
tersteine and Jun-
kerhaus
The Externsteine are a striking sandstone rock formation in the Teuto-burg Forest and as such a prominent natural feature in Germany. The original
name of the rocks is not clear, there are several interpretations. Today's spelling Externsteine seems
to have emerged only in the 19th century. Before, mainly forms like Eggster,
Eggester and Egistersteine occupied. There are other
interpretations but a kin-ship with the Latin exter-nus (located outside),can however be exclud-ed.Located in the north-
eastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, in the
southern part of the lip or circle in the Teutoburg
stones belong to the Horn-
Bad Meinberg Berger dis-trict Holzhausen-Externsteine, which is sit-
uated about 1.1 km to the
northwest. The rocks are part of the central moun-tain chain of the Teuto-
burg Forest. They lie just to the southeast of the low mountain range bor-dering the Egge.
In the northwest the Ex-ternsteine go directly into
the rising wooded slopes of the stone and borders directly on the southeast bend of those in Hagen.
Right past the rock for-mation in the catchment of the river Weser flows Wiembecke, which is dammed at the foot of the rocks by "Wiembecketeich”.
In 1926, the external stones became "one of the oldest and most important protected areas in the dis-trict of Lippe. On 12 May 2006 the external stones
were awarded "National
Geotope" by the Academy of Geosciences. From a conservation point of view, not only the rock itself is particularly valua-ble, but also its rare vege-
tation.
Karl Junker & Das unkershaus
Karl Junker was born in
Lemgo. After his carpenter training, he studied arts in Munich. In 1877/1878, he embarked on a study trip through Italy. Afterwards, he returned to his home
town of Lemgo, where he
lived and worked as a painter and wood sculptor. He did not receive any recognition in the art sce-ne during his lifetime. The response to the exhibition
of his works in Berlin in 1914 - after his death - remained ambivalent. It was not until the 1980´s that the work of Karl Junker was rediscov-
ered. For several years, it has been shown as an ex-ample of the art of an out-sider and was shown in exhibitions at home and abroad.
The Junkershouse is a cre-ation of artist Karl Junkers (1850-1912)
The artist Karl Junker de-signed the house. It was built by Lemgo´s master
carpenter Karl Schirneker and his staff..
The building gets its unu-sual appearance through the richly carved architec-tural ornaments. It covers the walls like stucco, sep-
arated by a strictly sym-metrical pattern with pi-lasters, entablature and cornice
An important aspect of the
work of Karl Junker is the
equal treatment of archi-
tecture and interior de-
sign. Just like in the fa-
çade, wood also domi-
nates in the furniture of
the rooms.

Racism has no place in our society !!!
Everybody knows the word racism. But what is racism ?
Nobody can say when rac-
ism really starts. It’s from
old times. It was a different
racism then we know. It
was only how you look.
When you look different
then the people in your city
they mocked you. When
you were a child from a
slave or came from another
country then they mocked
you too. It was with your
hair colour too.
Today the racist only watch what your reli-gion is and your home-land. This is crucial
when a racist meet a
foreigener. This has normaly to do with clothes. Then normaly you wear clothes, what look a litte bit like your
religion. But the racist look also from wich counrty you are from and what colour your skin have. For them is important that you are from his country.
For exampel in the his-tory of Germany. It was Adolf Hitler. He chase Jews and put them to the concentration camp
and killed them. 6 mil-lion Jews was killed in the second world war, because he said that they are „bad“ people.
He killed familys, moth-ers, fathers, old people
even small children. For him it was not im-portant wich age the people had. Only what they were. But he don’t only chase Jews. The people who don’t do
what he wanted too.
He had his own pictur from the „perfect“ Ger-man. The „perfect“ Ger-
man had blond hair, blue eys and was large. He was sporty and
strong.
In Germany we have some organisations that care of the victim from racism.
They speak to them and
maybe they get an new identity, they move to another city were no-
body knows who they were
Racism it’s all over the world.
So it was in the USA on the 19th centruy too.Malcom Little was born in Nebraska in 1925. He had seven brothers
and sisters. His father was killed when he was only six years old. The police said it was an acci-dent but he thought that white people killed him. Later his mom became ill,
so the children had to leave their home and live in different families and childen’s homes.
He was one of the best
pupils at school and wanted to be a lawyer.
But on this times in the USA it was not a job for black people. This times was very hard for the blacks. Blacks couldn’t sit next to whites on buses
or trains. black childeren had to go to different schools.
O N L I N E N E W S P A P E R
So Malcom left school when he was fifteen ans moved to Harlem in New York. In Har-lem he started to steal and must go to prison for seven years in 1946.In prison Mal-com read lots of books and learned about a group of black Muslims. They wanted a better life for black Ameri-cans- a life without white people.
Malcom Little changed his name to „Malcom X“ because „Little“ was
a slave name.
He started fighting for the rights of the blacks. He talked on the radio or on TV
about freedom for black people. He used violence to change things.
In 1964 Malcom’s life
changed. He traveld to Mecca and came back
with a new name aga-ing. He was called El-Hajj Malik El Shabazz. Now he thought that violence was
wrong. And he fought for a better life for everybody every-where. Black and
white together.
But on Febuary 21st, 1965, three men killed
Malcom X in Harlem. On that day America lost one of the most
important men in ist history – a man who helped black people to fight for their dreams.

Clouseau
1 9 I S S U E T H R E E
Basic information
In 1984 their adventure started with a very little concert
on a Sunday morning. In those days their name
was “Clouseau en Vrienden”. Their group was set
up by Bob Savenberg and is named after Inspector
Clouseau from the Pink Panter because he always
imitated this character from the movie.
In 1987 Clouseau performed on Marktrock. Their first single was called Brandweer and was only
sold 427 times
Their real breakthrough was in 1989 when they competed
in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Anne. They
became very popular in Belgium and they produced their
first album “Hoezo?”. Their group existed of 5 members:
Bob Savenberg, drums; Karl Theys, bas; Tjen Berghmans,
guitar; Kris Wauters, piano and the singer Koen Wauters.
Especially the singer was very popular. In 1990 Tjen Bergh
mans left the group because afer an artistic discussion.
In October of the same year they produced their second album Ofzo. In 1991 Karl Theys left
the group so now there were only three members.
They participated again in the Eurovision Song Contest, because they hoped for a European
breakthrough but they never succeeded.
In 1996 Bob Savenberg left the group, so now the group consisted only of the two brothers.
Koen Wauters was born on 17 September 1967 in Halle. Besides a singer he’s also an actor and a
tv-presenter. He was fond of soccer but he never became a professional soccer player because
of a knee-injury. In 1989 VTM (Flemish commercial television network) was set up and Koen Wau-
ters became presenter. He presented programs like Idool and X-Factor. He’s maried to Valerie
De Booser (a famous fashion model) and they have 2 children, Zita and Nono. His participates
every year in the race Paris-Dakar.
His brother, Kris Wauters, was born on 21 September 1964. He had three brothers, one of them
is Koen, and two sisters. He plays the guitar and the piano, he also sings and writes the songs and
music. But he prefers being in the background .

Guided tour through the school
This morning we all gathered together in the school at 7.30 am. Also the
Swedish students who arrived very late
the evening before. We started with a
guided tour through the Heinrich - Drake
school, prepared by some students. Our
guides where Alex, Rufat and Tim. We
started in the cafeteria. Students can sit
here during break or study a little bit.
It’s located in the older part of the
school, but it is decorated with a lot of
colours and the flags of the Germany, Belgium and Sweden were put on the
ceiling, especially for our visit
Our next stop was located in the new part of the building (and is Joris his
favourite part), namely the kitchen. Almost every student has an hour of cooking during the week. They make, for instants, little sandwiches with meat and vegetables, that students can eat during their first break at 9.30
am. They call it ‘breakfast´.

In the garden, there were some hard workers who were making a floor outside the house with the oven. It’s the same oven as we have in Belgium, accept for the little house that’s protects the oven from all sorts of weather conditions. It was (and still is) all built by students. Gui recognized one of his bird boxes, the German students had built together with him
when they were in Belgium.
As we went through, we passed one of the two sports halls, but unfortunately this

As we went through, we passed one of the two sports halls, but unfortunately this one was closed. The other one was located almost in the centre of the town and we didn’t have enough time to go there. So we contin-ued our tour to the canteen .
Here everybody eats together during the midday. You can also buy your food over here, but the prices are a little bit ex-pensive.
Our last stop was the chemical class. Here some students were putting together the solar system with balloons and paper marché. If the balloons are dry, they will take out the balloon and paint them in the right colour. So They will have a clear view of the solar system

The comparison between the renovations in the Belgian school
and the German school
When we saw the school for the first time, it was a sort of
coming home. Our school in Belgium has been renovated
for years and years and it’s the same in the HDS.
We’ve renovated the entrance, the main corridor, the sec-
retary, the staffroom, the school theatre (see first picture),
they put solar panels on
every roof … and that’s only the last two years. What’s
striking, is that the same colours are used in all the new
parts of the school: blue, white and orange. And it’s not
done yet. Because I heard that the school will renovate
our playground and maybe the school will construct a
whole new floor on the top of our newest building
In Germany they’re constructing a whole new building next to
the old building. You see a big difference between the two parts
of the school. The new part is more modern, which is normal of
course. One of my first impressions of the new part were the
animals. I saw fish and a lizard. In the new part, they have built a
new kitchen with all the facilities. Last year, they built a new
refectory, where they can buy a hot meal, like schnitzel with veg-
etables and potatoes, dessert,… or they just eat their
own sandwich.
So in this state of mind our school and the German
school are a little bit
the same.
