Murder in Carnuntum

Class 2e took part in a competition organized by the Österreichischer Buchklub der Jugend and made a comic based on a book they read, "Murder in Carnuntum". This is a fine example of English across the curriculum, as it combines History (a big topic in the second year is how the Romans lived) and English in a fun way. Mr King took the photos and prepared the layout, while the pupils wrote the text for the speech bubbles.
The result was not only an entertaining comic version of the book, but also first place in the competition. The prize is a day trip to Carnuntum with a guided tour and meal.

Barwitzius Primary School Project

Recently Mr King and two pupils from 3d, Carina King and Anna Pickl, spent five days at the Barwitzius Volksschule in Wiener Neustadt for an English project with a third-year integration class taught by Elisabeth Haslinger and Doris Kopper. The idea was to make English fun and attractive through the use of songs and rhythm. The guitar and cajons proved very popular, as did the four songs (thank you, Danny and Gerry!) For Anna and Carina it was also very good experience, as both are considering becoming primary school teachers.
The culmination of the project will be on Saturday 25th June, when the class presents some of the songs and dialogues learnt at the end-of-semester presentations.
