Primary 7 s German adventures

On Wednesday 5th October, Primary 7 went to JYHS for their German Adventure.

We had to go around JYHS and find different cities in Germany.

We were put into teams with 3 or 4 people one or two from Dedridge and a pupil from JYHS.

It was really fun and we had to use our problem solving skills and got to learn some German vocabulary and a little bit about German cities and German culture.
