In the beginning of December we went to Germany for 4 days and learned about Berlin and historical moments and buildings of Germany.

A couple of weeks after New Year we had 2 more weeks with work experience. The whole school is now working on what we call OSO which is a big project where you have to write about your choice of career and do interviews and stuff. If you don’t complete this project, you’re not allowed to enter the exams by the end of the year so it’s important to do it. In the end of March, we’re going to Spain as you know. The whole school is going abroad that week but different places. Then we have the exams.
