IP is spending its last two weeks on the sunny Biarritz. Right after the school the IP students enjoys the last opportunity to sunbath on the welcoming beaches of Biarritz, Anglet and Hendaye. Meanwhile the activities never stop. This week we offered quite a variety of them: from a visit of Bilbao in Spain to the very atypical for the hot summer day activity – ice-skating.
My time in Bournemouth
I spent two amazing weeks at IP Bournemouth where I had a lot of fun, made new friends and could enjoy the programme which the IP Team prepared for us. Even the weather was better than I expected. In the first week, I especially liked the workshop IP Summer Magazine where we collected some IP gossip as well as horoscopes, made a photo story and judged the summer fashion. Also the Nail Painting was a pleasure since I first spoiled my hands with a peeling, then I could learn how to make French Manicure and completed it with nice flower stickers. One of my favourite evening events was the Black & White Party where almost everybody dressed up in black and/or white.
Last Week in Teignmouth
This week we quite often went to several coffee shops and had the so called “Cream tea”.
“Cream tea” is a typical Devon ceremony during teatime. Next to the famous English tea that is served with milk, you got the scones, which are somewhat really sweet and heavy yeast breads “Hefebroetchen” either plain or including raisins, nuts or other ingredients. On the scones, you but clotted cream that is a kind of special butter with cream and on top, there goes strawberry jam.
This week was a special one, as announced before in the previous post, we went to Bordeaux for the first time this summer. Over 30 IP students participated in the trip, everybody came back tired, but full of wonderful impressions. The pictures speak for themselves – students enjoyed it a lot.
The hotter the summer – the bigger IP Club! Students from different countries: from Sweden to Spain joined the team to learn French together. Besides the intensive learning process, students always find time to travel and to surf. No matter if it rains or the sun is shining, surfers are always on the beach, because our students know well that surfing is more than just a sport activity – it is the style of living.
Nine kilometres of fine white sand, clear water, a lot of sun, a cool breeze, cliffs, and many young, international, and interesting people: that’s the beautiful beach-side of Bournemouth. However, that is not the only characteristic side of this popular university-town.
In den Pfingstferien 2009 haben wir wieder eine kleine Gruppe von Schülern zu einer Schülersprachreise in Exmouth in England begrüßt. Hier gibt es ein paar Fotos:
