Town Tour

So today ten colleagues accompanied 100+ pupils around Bremen.  We started off at the cathedral at 10am.  One of the five tour guides didn't show so we had to put two classes together.  Unfortunately this didn't make things easy for us or the guide as the kids quickly got distracted or bored.  The 30 degrees weather didn't help either and most of them are not used to walking far - although through the town centre and Schnoor is not exactly far.

Some of the information I had heard on my last tour but there was a fair amount of new information too which was interesting and I understood much more on this two hour tour with 40 kids than I had on a one hour tour with four adults so my listening skills must be better - which they should be after almost a year here!

Following the two hour tour, we spent an hour in the park where the kids could do what they liked (within reason).  Most were happy with this.  You would think they all would be considering it was a day out of the classroom, but no.  The other surprise of the day was that 12 year olds find it necessary to wear tights in thirty degree weather!?

Tomorrow is the open air fun pool which could be interesting if the weather changes before the predicted 12 noon.  We shall see....
