Before the exchange to Finland
Hello and welcome to my blog.
Our first meeting was with our parents on the 28th of September. We got a lot of information about the project. A finnish and a polish teacher where there too and we could asked them questions. Then we selected where we would like to go: To Finland or to Poland? I would like to go to Finland.
For the next meetings we had to make a dictionary, in which are the english and german words for diverse food, fruits, vegetables and kitchen equipments… Also we had to create a german food pyramid,
an Erasmus-logo (This is my logo)
and a recipe for a typical german starter, main dish and dessert, that we can present in english.
Sunday(13.11.16)
Today we drove to Finland.
We met us at the train station at 08:50h with our teacher Mrs. Schütt. In Reinfeld Mrs. Dettke came into the train. From Hamburg central station we traveled with the S-Railway to the airport. There we checked in and then we had to wait. Our plane started at 12:40 and we flew two hours. In the plain I heard a CD with Patricia. We were in Finland at 15:35, but the polish people didn’t wait for us, actual it was the Plan. So we drove only with a finnish teacher in a bus to the school in Kotka. There our exchange students waited for us. My exchange student is Jana. Together we went to her flat in the near of the school.
Monday (14.11.16)
First we played some games together.
We got a lecture about the school system in Finland. They talked about the subject home economic. That's a subject that we haven't in Germany. In the subject the finnish students learn how to do the household.
Then we had lunch time and ate dinner.
After that we went to the computer room and talked about the food pyramid.
Then we made groups in which are two people from every country and there we discussed what we can cook, because we make a Master Chef Competition on Wednesday. We have to cook a starter, a main dish and a dessert. It must be one meal from every country.
At last we wrote this blog...
Tuesday (15.11.16)
After some lessons we got a bus tour through Kotka. We were sitting in the bus and a finnish teacher told us what we saw. We stopped on a wild river.

The bus drove us back to the city center. There we had free time and then we went home.
Wednesday (16.11.16)
On Wednesday we made a Master Chef Competition. It was very funny.
We built five groups. In my group were two persons from every country. We had to cook a starter, a main dish and a dessert.
First we layered the table.Then two from us went shopping the ingredients for the food in a big supermarket and the others planed how they cook the food. We had Lunch when we came back from shopping. Then we cooked. Our starter was a german potato soup,
the main dish a polish kind of noodles, you call it ‘Domplings’ and our dessert was a fins apple pie. The jury, who were some teachers, ate our food and said how good these are. Then we ate our food too, but after that we had to clean the kitchen.
At the end was the award ceremony… Our group won! (We became 52,5 Points.) The prices for the winners were chocolate and a flush brush.

Friday (18.11.16)
Today it was our last complete day in Finland.
We drove in a bus to Helsinki which is the capital of Finland.
First we visited the organisation ‘Martat’. They told us what they do: They help people with tips for the household or for food. For example they give cooking classes for former prisoners or for people who are going away from their parents. Then we went to a fast food restaurant and ate lunch. After that we had free time on a place with a white church. We bought some souvenirs in a little shop. Then we met the other pupils and went to a very big shopping centre. We (the german pupils) went to Starbucks and bought a hot chocolate.
Afterward we looked around in Stockman, which is the shopping centre. And then we had to go to the bus and drive home.
Saturday (19.11.16)
Today we had to go back to Germany.
At 10:30h we met us at school, where a bus was waiting for us. When we drove of, everybody waved.
We drove two hours with the bus to the airport from Helsinki. There we had wait a long time, until 17:00h. In this time we went to Starbucks and Burger king.
We flew two hours and arrived in Germany at Hamburg airport at 18:00h. Then we drove with an S-Railway to the Hamburg Central Station and with the train to Lübeck. There our parents waited for us and we went home.
It was a funny time in Finland. I find it's nice that we understand us very well. Thank you

Today we (Lisa, Patricia, Melissa, Tom, Paul and I) gave a presentation to the other german pupils, which are in the Erasmus-project too. We talked about our exchange to Finland and showed them some pictures. Then we made posters, which we can hang up in our school, so that the other people can see where we were and what we did. After that we wrote our blogs.
01.02.17
15.02.17
Today we talked about typical german table manners and brainstorm our ideas on the board.
Then we thought what we can do, so that even more people eat in the canteen.
We worked in five groups: The group, which will travel to Poland next week, prepare a drama about german table manners. One group make a documentation about the canteen in our school, so they interviewed all classes in the school. An other group talk with Mrs. Gerischer, who is the chef and the cook from the canteen and they told her what we think, what she can improve. And one group write a letter about free food in schools to politician. Our group write a letter to the parents from the students from our school and inform them about our canteen and we make posters with slogans to hang them up in the school, so that the pupil get delight to go in the canteen.
29.02.17
The group, which made the interviews, told us how all the classes like the canteen and how often the pupils eat there. They said that predominantly young pupils bought something in the canteen. We got this handout:
![zettel erasmus unsre mensa.jpg](https://peda.net/hankkeet/food/blog/gsb/anders%27s-blog/29-02-17-muster/zeum3:file/photo/a51f9171cb1521ac44887623535140a629454e97/zettel%20erasmus%20unsre%20mensa.jpg)
The group, which wrote the letter to politician, read out their letter. This is it:

Our group showed our posters to the others and read out our letter too.
![zettel erasmus elternbrief mensa.jpg](https://peda.net/hankkeet/food/blog/gsb/anders%27s-blog/29-02-17-muster/zeem:file/photo/c3e0bf5f36e70573b932ad4bd60b361df7251f53/zettel%20erasmus%20elternbrief%20mensa.jpg)
Then we built two groups and went to supermarkets. There we photographed some food with their ingredients and wrote them down.
