Hier der erste Erfahrungsbericht von unseren England Schülersprachreisen nach Bournemouth:
An important part of the activities in the IP-Centre Bournemouth are the parties on Monday and Thursday. They are held in our meeting place, called “the IP Ocean”, which in fact is a huge college hall. Every party night is based on its own theme like e.g. “Black-and-White” or “Crossdressing”. Last Thursday, everyone was asked to come in fancy dress. As you can see on the photos, different interpretations of the word “fancy” were allowed. The costumes varied from getting dressed up like an actress or actor on an award show to self-made costumes that reminded you of German carnaval.
The whole Thursday afternoon the Arts Workshop prepared and decorated the Ocean for this highlight in the evening. Healthy drinks and snacks like cucumber sticks were made, the names of all countries the students came from were cut out in their national colours. The information boards were hidden with the help of glittering cloth. Some students also used the provided material to build and create their own costumes.
Then it was time for preparing and dressing yourself. At the entrance every student had to write his or her name on a sheet of paper. The staff members collected all names in bowls and mixed them. The reason for this was the Blind-Date-Game that was played later on. Every boy had to pick out a girl’s name and search for her in the whole party crowd. After screaming names and asking every girl for her name nearly every couple found each other and started talking.
After dancing to songs from Lady Gaga, David Guetta and of course all together to the IP-song “I gotta feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas, it was Limbo-time. A huge queue formed and tried to walk under the lower and lower placed bar. When the bar reached the height of the hips, a lot of students fell down. The winner soon became obvious: the 12year old Jesus from Spain.
Thereafter the IP- Queen and the IP-King were crowned. The jury, i.e. the members of staff, picked out the three couples with the fanciest dresses. They had to walk on a catwalk through the whole “Ocean”. The winner was chosen with the help of the noise of the audience. The proud King was the Spanish group leader Jorge, who was dressed as an Arabian. To his side the proud Queen stood grinning dressed in a self-made Spongebob costume.
Afterwards everyone was dancing until it was time to go back to their rooms. As the atmosphere of this party was really cheerful, we are all looking forward to our next party, which will be themed “Caribbean-Slam”.
