Day at school and Berlin Zoo

The past two days have gone by really quickly, and already it's the end of the last full day in Germany. Yesterday, we spent the whole day at school with our exchange partners to see what school is like in Germany. We followed them to their classes for the day- I had Maths, Art, English and Politics for the day. My favourite lesson for the day was Art as well as the English lesson spent with the 5th Class, telling them about New Zealand and answering their questions. The day went by quickly, like it always does. Today we visited the Berlin Zoo, and it was awesome! We had one and a half hours to look around the zoo, and it was so fun! All the animals were so fascinating, but I especially liked the polar bear, lying on its back and scratching its stomach, I thought that was really funny. We also went to the Aquarium, and had a look at the fish, amphibians and other water life. All too soon we had to leave, but we then got around 2 hours of free time in Ku'damm, which is a shopping area in Berlin. At around 3:15, we took the train back to Werder, to spend our last night in Germany. (by Cathy)
