VIEL GLUCK TIM

The Modern Languages Department said a sad farewell to German Exchange Teacher Tim Senz last week.   Tim has been an assistant in the school since September of last year and is now travelling back to his home town of Mainz in Germany to complete his studies.   During his time in Braidhurst, he worked with National 4, National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher German classes, as well as being instrumental in helping develop resources for the Modern Languages For Life and Work class.   Activities he carried out with this class included making German biscuits called Platzchen, broadening their knowledge of German culture through Power Point presentations, helping them prepare Job Applications and CVs in German, as well as engaging in a number of ICT activities.   Tim also visited the PE Department and was an active participant in games of volleyball and in trampoline sessions.   Tim spent his free time exploring Scotland and was so impressed by the beautiful scenery and the hospitality of the people that he intends to return in the near future.   All pupils thoroughly enjoyed making his acquaintance.
