On Thursday afternoon we had the knight games where we learned how to shoot with a bow and an arrow or could fight man versus man with foam tubes. In the evening our host Günter took us on a tour of one of the towers of castle Schönburg. He took us up an old watchtower while telling us the story of the long dead Elizabeth. Günter’s talent in story-telling and the scary atmosphere within the tower made even the oldest of the group shudder.

Last but certainly not least the IP Open Stage Party on Friday night was a lot of fun. The kids impressed each other with unique magic tricks, a wrestling show and much more. In the end almost everyone performed something on stage with the occasional help of some of the teamers.
The Goodbye on Saturday was very sad and some of the kids didn’t want to go home.
We hope all of them enjoyed their week in Oberwesel and five of them even stayed for the second week.

First up this time were the Lions with their play entitled “One Day in Chichester”. Their dramatic act left the IP Activity Team open-mouthed, glad that no such occurrences had actually befallen the students or staff at our centre! The thrilling plot involved some seriously shocking happenings, opening with the sudden death of some IP students in the refectory! Luckily, however, not even this was enough to stop life at the centre continuing as usual: the remaining students decided “Oh well, let’s go to lunch now!” It was then that the bloody knife was found in the staffroom. Naturally, a teacher was arrested. Then came the twist! Yet another victim – and that with the “murderer” already locked up! The conclusion? Somewhere, be it in Oaklands or the Accommodation Office, the library or the warden’s office, a murderer is still on the loose.  *cue scary music…*
The Penguins’ rendition of “All the Small Things” reintroduced infectious smiles to the stage. They sang with much gusto, not even put off by the technological problems that caused the music for their song to be interrupted and jokingly declared that the DJ should be thrown out!
These opening acts really set the mood for the evening. All of our students were extremely enthusiastic, both about their own acts and those of their peers. This allowed for the creation of a relaxed, appreciative atmosphere that helped even the quietest of students to step on stage with confidence and really show their talent.
A number of popular choices in dance and song had the audience clapping, dancing, singing and laughing uncontrollably in their seats. All the old favourites were featured, such as “YMCA, “We Will Rock You”, the Macarena and, of course, our very own IP dance alongside some rather more unusual choices, such as the Penguins’ dance to “Ein Lama in Yokohama”! In many acts, improvisation ruled, leading to significant confusion but also plenty of laughter!

The other plays that were performed on the night, the work of the Penguins, Hedgehogs and Snails, were a mixture of martial arts, silent films and fairy tales. Kitted out with their I Love London The mysterious ninja Snails kidnapped fought bodyguards to get to a princess. The Penguins and Hedgehogs decided to base their work on fairy tales, choosing Snow White and Cinderella respectively. The Hedgehogs’ take on Cinderella could not have been more modern – Cinderella fell in love with Prince Charming, only to discover he and the Fairy Godmother (played by another boy) are an item! The wonderful kiss at the very end of the play got a number of wolf whistles from the audience!

All of the groups’ artistic masterpieces – a giant cardboard ship, swords, gold, pirate faces, parrots, treasure maps and even “pirate love letters” – will be part of the decorations for next week’s Pirates of Chichester party.
Our students never fail to impress us with their creativity and fun-loving natures and this always shines through on Open Stage night; this week was definitely no exception!

Girls sauntered in casually in jeans, trainers and baseball caps; their male counterparts tottered in in skirts, blouses, perfume and outlandishly bright high heels. In some cases, it was incredibly difficult to determine who was male and who female! Suspiciously, these transformations also seemed to be linked to the sudden and otherwise mysterious spiriting away of more than a few oranges and a surprisingly large amount of toilet paper from the boys’ toilets. It would be safe to say that all the students got very into their new genders – and the party, of course!
They danced the night away to a slightly altered playlist including brilliant classics such as Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” and James Blunt’s “Beautiful”. The beauty of the music spun its enchanting web over all the dancers present and led to the formation of some fun new “couples” for the evening.
It was simply amazing to witness the closeness of friendships between students of different nationalities and the easy way in which they all interacted with one another. We hope that the students who have now returned home will stay in touch with one another for some time to come and that all our new students will enjoy their stay just as much as their predecessors!

Also our trips, the sports and the pool is much more fun in the sun instead in the rain!! There was a exhibition / fair taking place this week in the town center of Teignmouth and we also went there every.
The mask workshop was great too and we got some nice hands and faces.
The soccer students got a new trainer and he is keen on organizing a wide evening program with cinema, exhibition, bowling and other things.
On the weekend a lot of students will go back home and so we are going to be a smaller group next week.

Together with all the other international students that nice evening slowly went over. The day after at the bus to the airport the last tears were running and then our friends were looking forward to seeing their friends in Spain again.
We will miss you – it got a bit quieter here in Exeter St. Luke´s now.

Nobody could have anticipated the number of students who turned up to participate in Wednesday afternoon’s Friendship Bracelets Workshop!  Running alongside the various sporting activities on offer, we had decided to hold the workshop in question as a quieter alternative to cater for all our students’ varied interests.
We knew that it had been a great idea when we saw all the students sitting waiting for us in the Ocean, waiting to let their creative juices flow!

It is amazing what one can do with just the basics, i.e. wool, scissors, cellotape and some beads. However, the finished products highlighted our students’ talent and creativity once again! Given a few hints and ideas and the equipment mentioned, our students gave the activity their full concentration and let their imaginations run wild! Bracelets made ranged from simple and yet beautiful pleated and twist designs to those demanding very challenging and complex knotting techniques, all of which our students mastered in record time!
Many of the students who attended stayed for the whole three hours. At the end of this time, there was no one left in the room without a colourful bracelet around their wrist and, due to their generosity and friendly natures, the students also presented one another with their creation to seal blossoming international friendships. Several were also kind enough to give their IP team the thoughtful gifts! It would seem that this workshop even inspired some students to take up the craft as a long-term hobby, as pieces of wool and even more new bracelets and smiles are now to be found all over Chichester’s campus!

On Tuesday, some of the students took a trip to Salisbury. They were all stunned into silence by the beauty of the cathedral – especially the unique fountain inside. The IP team took their opportunity to do some shopping as well.

The karaoke night on Wednesday evening was fun. The Spanish group sang ‘Venga Boys – Boom! Boom! Boom!’, whilst the IP team also contributed by singing Britney’s ‘I’m not a Girl’. During the day, students were able to relax by drinking cups of tea, being massaged and undergoing Yoga exercises which were led by our very own Yani.

On Thursday, students had the chance to create their own postcard. Using photos of Bournemouth from brochures, they demonstrated their creativity in making some very attractive postcards for their friends and family. In the evening, the Ocean was transformed into a casino, with top prizes on offer for the 3 students who won the most money. By the end, we had some expert Poker and BlackJack players!

We held a ‘Create your own IP Diary’ workshop on Friday, in which the students could, for example, write down the highlights from their stay, and the contact details of the new friends they had made.

The week ended with a bang, as many students danced the night away and watched the fireworks on the beach.

On Tuesday, some of the students went on a trip to Winchester. Once again, we were very lucky with the weather. In their spare time, the students were able to go inside the Cathedral, go shopping, and visit the other sites. For the IP staff, we enjoyed a relaxing drink (non-alcoholic of course) in the park!

Our highlight on Wednesday was the Open Stage. The students, and even the teachers (!), got together to provide us with an evening of entertainment, in which they showcased their talents. This included juggling, playing the piano, and singing.

The afternoon workshop on Thursday was another huge success, as the kids all enjoyed the opportunity to design and decorate their own T-shirt. Using ‘I love Bournemouth’ templates, fabric paints, pens, and glitter, the students all demonstrated their creativity. Since the Spanish were all leaving the next day (after having been here for 4 weeks), they also signed their names and left heart-warming messages on everyone’s T-shirts. It was so emotional that a few tears were even shed by the students. Many didn’t want to leave – even when the workshop ended! As for the IP staff, we were also very sad to see the Spanish Group Leader, Juan, leave. From all of us at the Bournemouth Centre, we will miss you!!

The boys could choose whether they want to have a black or brown moustache.
The opening was, taking a picture of all the guests having a pizza and wearing a chef´s hat. Everybody who had taken a picture got a voucher for a “Cappuccino” in our “Café Amore”.
Everybody danced to Italian pop-music and enjoyed the night somewhere south (without rain).
