I do not have time to write the blog….

But you have to do it ….

Day 6 Thursday

We were in London again. This time we were there in Madame Tussad which is a house with wax figures. I liked most the different departments with the figures of famous people. Then we ate Pizza. Afterwards we went to London’s Dungeon, which is a kind of gigantic ghost train about the dark history of London. We then split us up. Some went shopping and others had ice cream and I petted my squirrels again in St. James Park.

AddOns by Flo: When Sophie writes we she means „the girls“.

Because of their first trip to London the boys decited to stay in the Nursery. What they are doing there? They are digging a very big hole. Why? Because it is more fun then playing on your phone and much better than going to a Megacity – Erdkinder!

At five a clock on this day the boys told me that they are hungry. So we tried to find out what you can do as a boy when you are hungry and there is no Mami (or cooking group) around you. The solution? They make their own dinner (maybe this was the starting point of their nightfoodsessions). Great job boys!

Friday

We stayed at the caravans to take a break. A pair of us went shopping and the rest of us just chilled in their rooms. We put all together the food in the kitchen and sorted it. Afterwards, Saskia, Melissa, Sophie, Inga and I go for a walk. While this, Maël was cuting Jannis‘ hair and all I can say is that it takes some getting used to. For dinner we had the rests of the last days and sausages , vegetarian and with meat. We didn’t do not so much because everyone was tired.

AddOn by Flo: It is interesting to read that that was the first day they chilled. Because Saskia and me had the feeling that they are chilling the most time – how different the cognitions could be. For example: would you say it looks cleaned up on the picture?

Saturday

Today we had the plan to watch a rugby game. We were for Northampton Saints and they won the game. It was very exciting but to the end a little bit boring.For dinner we eat toast. And then we go to bed.

You have to write your reports before we can go shopping (no pressure – only a requirement of the driver).

So here they are:

Sunday

We left school at 6 am. By 1 pm we were at the border with england. Then we took the ferry to england. We arrived in Nobottle Nursery at 6 pm. In total we drove 13 hours When we arrived we chose our rooms and cleaned umpacket out our clothes.

Additional from Flo: It was the first time for me, that we arrived here and everything works. We paid Dartford Crossing (Tinas account does it), the water is warm in every caravan (thanks the plumber), it was warm in the caravans (thanks to God) and everything is cleaned well (thanks to Judy).

That was crazy!

Monday:

We stayed at Nobottle Nursery to settle in a bit and go shopping because we didn’t have anything to eat. When we came back from shopping, Melina, Charlotte, Lilly and Inga made a one pot lasagna that ended up tasting like a cinder block because the bottom was completely burnt. After cooking I played Uno and football with Saskia. In the evening we ate dinner and played a few games.

Additional from Flo: What a luck: there is still something to do. Kevin repaired a drawer, we repaired the waterheater in the kitchen (after two useless YouTube videos we pushed a little black button and it works 🙄) and Judy checked the wastetank and regognized that it is full until the top. So it started to get normal (and interesting).

Tuesday

Trip to Oxford

Today we woke up on 7am then i go into a shower and after this we ate breakfast. At 9am we started on the trip to oxford later one and a half hour we are in oxford. We have visit oxford, one group visit the botanic park an the other group went sightseeings in oxford and the university’s, we visited the universitys. After we had looked at everything, we went in kfc and ate lunch. After this we went shopping in a mall, we found very cool clothes. Then we droved home, but first we went food shopping for the next day. At the evening we cooked food, it was really yemmy. Then we went to sleep.

Additional by Flo: In the evening we drove to the airport to bring Kevin to his flight home. While I have to check the permission for his flight with him the boys want to have a walk around europs biggest airport.

After a while I see the boys crossing my way followed by three policeofficers. There faces lookes like: Oh no, we go to prison, what have we done, will we see our Mamis again 😂.

When I arrived them one of the policeman asked me very unfriendly what we have to do on the airport, why we are in England and so on. After I explained our trip, they where very friendly and tell us, that there are a lot of criminal gangs of youth around and they thought our boys are such a gang – funny when you know the little gangsters (Janis, Lukas, Mika, Pepe, Maël).

On the way home Maël to Pepe: Thank you for rescue us with your Englisch.

Wendsday september 13.

We drove away at 9 o clock with the train to London. At first we drove with the underground to Buckingham Palace. After this we went to a park and there were so many skrirrels and pigeons and Maël caught one. Then we we went the elisabethtower. At the half past twelve we walk to the London Eye and the River Thames. From there we drove to a food market named Borough Market. Now we were tired so we did not want to walk any more .So we went to underground station next to Towerbridge. At 6pm we were at home. Dinner was noodles with cream sauce .

Written by Charlotte

Additional by Flo: This trip to London feels like a trip with my family ten years ago. In the morning some boys stand up at 8:55 to leave at 9am (of course without breakfast). In the park the squirrels and pigeons are more interesting than the Buckingham Palace and after two hours they starts with: I am thirsty, I am hungry (suprising wirhout breakfast), I have to go to the toilet, do we have to go over the bridge- I see it from here, when do we drive home…

Saskias an me have to say: stay with the group, look for the cars, stay – it is red. So we feel more than kindergardener then teachers 🙄

We leave London at 4pm. As soon as never before with a group. In the nursery the boys starts to hammer stones and be very happy with it.

The project can be soooooo different 😎

Heute haben wir uns zu einem Ausflug in die Warner Bros. Studios aufgemacht. Wir haben sehr viele Informationen über die Entstehung der Filme und den Drehorten gesammelt.

Hier einige Eindrücke:

Carlo und Jonas testen die unterschiedlichen Reisevarianten:

Im Film fährt Hagrid und Harry sitzt daneben. Ob es hier Parallelen gibt?

Findet den Fehler (nette Anekdote dazu gibt es persönlich von uns):

Gringotts vor dem Besuch unserer Schüler:

Und danach 🤭:

Wiedermal ein wunderschönes Gelände für einen Markttag. Leider hat heute das Wetter nicht so mitgespielt, sodass die Kundschaft etwas spärlich war. Dennoch gab es für die Kids oft die Möglichkeit, ihr Englisch im Kundenkontakt zu üben.

Hier seht ihr unseren schön gestalteten Stand, der durch die Insektenhotels der Schüler diesmal einen besonderen Reiz hatte.

Hello, can we help you?

Unter der Decke befindet sich ein Sprössling namens Edward (dank des Besuchs von Abby und den Kids hatten wir dann doch einigen Spaß.

Hier sieht man Jack Jack umgeben von Natur Pur.

Und auch Mattis hat sich ein naturnahes Plätzchen ausgesucht. Könnt ihr ihn entdecken?

Während ihr das Erdkinderprojekt auf dem Spielefest vorgestellt habt, haben wir unseren freien Tag genossen, da morgen Markttag ist.

Halbzeit-Selfie aus dem Fußballstadion der Cobblers.

Nach der Arbeit folgt das Vergnügen. Playing FIFA in the kitchen:

Goooooooooooooooooool:

Ob da gerade jemand von mir geärgert wurde?

Wie versprochen, die nice new Outside-Toilet:

Aber auch die Sitzgelegenheiten. Design by the girls:

Nicht kleckern sondern klotzen by Mattis:

Unsere Mädels Emely, Lilly und Patricia haben heute die Heimreise angetreten und hatten einen entspannten Flug nach Hause. Wir haben noch einiges zu tun, bevor wir am nächsten Donnerstag hinterherreisen.

Wir haben festgestellt, dass wenn am Abend die englischen Wörter ausgegangen sind, dass sich das Plattdeutsche durchsetzt. Deshalb berichte ich jetzt mal vom irschde Doach un der Ärbt und de zwaade Doach aus London.

Die Outside-Toilet wird renoviert:

Morgen wird sie dank Jonas fertig sein.

Die Küchengruppe ist fleißig (zumindest ein Teil)

Die Gartengruppe baut Bienenhotels:

Und entfernt ungewünschten Bewuchs:

In London war nur ein Teil der Gruppe:

Und wie immer haben wir (mit) die schönsten Sonnenuntergänge:

Morgen fliegen unsere Mädels zurück in die Heimat 😢 und überbringen euch die besten Wünsche persönlich.

Aus alt mach neu, aus hübsch noch hübscher?

zeigen die Mädels in einem Präsentationsvideo:

Und da Paula sich die Arbeit gemacht hat, bekommt sie am nächsten Tag die Belohnung:
