All Australian students participated in our normal lessons at school. In the first period, we had two hours of English. We talked about Australia and had to find different things on a map, such as mining areas, cities and rivers. Mister Jung had a lot of inquiries for the exchange students, named Elliott, Christopher and Michael, and they wilfully answered all questions without hesitation. During my third and fourth periods we had art and continued our linocutting projects. Michael and Elliott went to music class instead of attending art class. The other students made instructional videos for younger students explaining how the Circle of Fifths - a compositional tool in music - works. The exchange students instead played piano, percussion and drums. At the end of the lesson the exchange students explained what music lessons are like in Australia and how music is viewed as a whole in Australia. Until the end of the lesson the students played songs together. During recess Michael and Elliott went to a bakery in the Fußgängerzone and also purchased some gummy bears for me. Michael and Eliott returned and wasted their seventh period in the Year 10 break room instead of going to Biology. In the eigth and ninth periods the exchange students played badminton with the eleventh-graders. At that time I had French, unfortunately. Then we met at 4:10 and went home together by bike.
