Bilinguale Klassenfahrt der Klasse 6c

On 8 June 2026 we went on a class trip to Schwäbisch Hall. We stayed in a youth hostel near the city center. After we had arrived, we had lunch. Right after lunch we moved into our rooms and thought they were pretty decent. We even had our own sinks.

The week was full of activities, but some of them were more interesting than others. In this report I'm going to write about my highlights. On Monday we met Cate and Taylor, they are Americans and were our instructors for the week. As a warm-up activity we played name games. We were supposed to say an adjective, starting with the first letter of our name, then our name and an interesting fact about us. The games were cool, but the best part of the day and my highlight was the evening. After dinner we headed to the classroom where Cate and Taylor waited for us. Then they introduced us to a really fun activity: " The spaghetti tower competition". We needed to create a tower from raw spaghetti and marshmallows, which we used as glue. There were more challenges than just building the tower. We were also required to think of a name for the tower and a backstory. Then we were awarded for different categories. My group and I were awarded for the best design but you could have been awarded for the best name, the best backstory, best style or the most stability. The next day Tuesday was so fun. We did a lot of fun and great tasks. But my favourites were the photo-find and the open-air exhibition in Wackershofen, which is a museum where you could see how people lived in the past. Once breakfast was over we were introduced to the task called the photo-find. We worked in groups of four and we were expected to take different kinds of pictures, e.g. a family portrait, worm's eye view, bird's eye view, despair on stairs, Valentines and many more. The best photo in each category was awarded with 5 points and if you made it to actually take a photo you got one point. Afterwards we had lunch and started getting ready for the open-air exhibition. We got on a train and headed to the exhibition. At the location we meet our tour guide. First we visited a house that was really old. We went to the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom and outside to the geese farm. The tour guide was an amazing guide because we learned a lot of things from him. What I found most fascinating was that geese were kept as dogs to scare off the strangers and to alarm the owner. After that we went to a school where the teachers used to live downstairs and where 75 kids were cramped in one single classroom upstaira. Once we had finished with the school we went to a newer and richer house. You could instantly tell the difference between the first house and the richer one. There were so many other buildings, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to visit them since we had to catch our train in time.

On Thursday we went to the New Globe Theatre inspired by the one from William Shakespeare. We went backstage and into the changing rooms and we learned interesting facts about theatres in general and about that specific globe theatre. What I found most interesting was that after building everything they did not have enough financial funds for the seats. So they made a plan. Everyone that gave money for a chair, which was 500 euros per chair, would get their name written on the back of the chair. People, actors, companies and banks donated money, some even buying more than one chair. My last highlight of the week was on Friday when we were leaving. Not only because I was happy that I can see my family, eat my mom’s cooking and sleep in my own bed, but also because the train ride was awesome. We played Werewolf, everyone had a place to sit and we talked about our trip and other stuff.

Although it was a long week, I had so much fun doing the activities, going to the different places and getting to know my classmates a bit better!
