The Christmas Markets in Germany

From 16 to 18 December, 60 Lower School pupils travelled to the world-famous Christmas Markets in Cologne, Germany. They experienced the magic of the traditional markets with their wide array of gifts and craft stalls and enjoyed the opportunity to try a range of German foods such as sausage, Lebkuchen and giant chocolate sweets. They also learnt about the history of the city on a walking tour, tried a range of sports such as boxing, long jump and cycling at the Olympics Museum as well as learning about the chocolate-making process from cocoa bean to finished product at the Lindt Chocolate Museum. It was also an excellent opportunity for pupils to practise their German!

They debated topics such as the militarisation of Space and nuclear arms ownership. On Friday evening, they attended a ‘mocktail’ evening with a ceilidh. Freddie was awarded ‘Highly Commended Delegate in the Security Council’ Council’ for his input as Gabon.
