Well done to everyone in 2E1! Our comic relief song raised a total of £54 from a mixture of online donations sales of the CD in school. A special thanks to Craig (Y), Kirstin, Shannon, Kieran (M), and Andrew (K) for giving up your free time to sell the CD in school!

Here is the lyrics to our song:

Beyans Geschichte

Chorus:

Wir wohnen in Montrose in Nordostschottland

Wir haben heute ein großes Frühstück gegessen

Sie heißt Beyan, ist zehn Jahre alt

Sie hat leider heute kein Frühstück gehabt

Verse 1

Letztes Jahr bin ich nach Spanien geflogen

Jeden Tag bin ich im Meer geschwommen

Ich habe auch eine Radtour gemacht

Es war klasse, es war toll!

Spanien macht echt Spaß

Verse 2

Beyans Vater ist leider gestorben

Vorher ist sie in der Schule gegangen

Aber seine Mutter hat nicht genug Geld

Sie ist traurig, sie hat hunger

Aber wir können ihr helfen!

and the english translation:

Beyan's Story

Chorus

We live in Montrose in North-East Scotland

We ate a big breakfast today

She is called Beyan and is 10 years old

Unfortunately she didn't have any breakfast today

verse 1

Last year I flew to Spain

I swam in the sea every day

I also went on a bike tour

It was fantastic! It was great!

Spain is a lot of fun!

verse 2

Unfortunately Beyan's father died

Previously she went to school

But her Mother doesn't have enough money

She is sad, she is hungry

But we can help her!

2E1 Café scene Podcast and Poster competition

Last week the pupils of 2E1 had a poster competition. In groups of 3, they had to design a poster about Montrose, making them as colourful and interesting as possible, but also using as much German as possible. Well done to Naomi, Daniel and Kieran M, who won the prize for the best poster. You can see all of them here.

The 2nd activity that the groups had to prepare, was a script for a café scene which we recorded. You can listen to all their work here:
