Day 3: The Great Rollercoaster Challenge

9th August 2017

Our second day started at 6.30 in the morning with jogging. After that we had breakfast and then we went into our courses. So, today we had had a big project. Investigating the Physics of Rollercoasters. For three hours we planned, calculated and finally built our rollercoasters across the whole classroom.

Between courses we had lunch, we sang in the choir and joined the vocal group. The non-singers went to sport where they played Volleyball and Basketball. At 4 o´clock we had 30 minutes left to build our rollercoasters and then we started the competition. There was a big race and one of the boy´s groups won the speed challenge… but only just!

In the evening after dinner we went to the different KüA´s [courses designed and run by the students for the students] which were Orchestra, learning French and a Japanese game. There was also a KüA for Martial Arts which was very interesting and exciting to take part in. The second KüA´s from 20.45 to 22.00 o´clock were the drama club, where the students designed a play for the final presentation and Badminton for the more sporty in the lasrge sports hall with Julia. Lukas ran a KüA on to learn how to ride a Unicycle which was visited by Nick, our course leader, who loves all kind of bicycles – but kept falling off this one.

After the KüA´s we all fell asleep very quickly because of this exciting but also really long day.
