Brilliant Berlin
Shortly before half term two Higher and Advanced Higher German students embarked on a three day trip to Berlin, to experience what one of Europe’s most dynamic cities has to offer. They enjoyed visits to many of the iconic sights including the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, the thought provoking Holocaust Memorial, the East German Museum and the TV Tower. They also fitted in a guided tour around the Reichstag parliament building where they learned about the troubled history of German politics and were able to get an amazing view of Berlin from the huge dome at the centre of the building. Upper Sixth student Zara Collings commented “I really enjoyed the trip because I was able to see for myself many of the things that we have studied about Berlin in school.” Due to its success, a similar trip will hopefully take place again next year.
