Grade 6 had a fantastic week in Bristol. The weather was kind to us and our hostel was very luxurious! We took part in lots of different activities to help us immerse ourselves in the English language and culture, including:
- visits to the cinema and theatre
- cooking and model-making with a local Scout Troop
- a workshop, handling small animals, during our visit to the zoo
- making films and doing experiments at the @Bristol Science Exhibition
- an audio trail around the world's first steam passenger liner
We were all totally exhausted, but happy, on our return home on Friday.

- Advent singing11.12.2009
-
On Thursday evening, 3rd of December clear children's voices could be heard from the play ground at TAZ Horgen as our yearly Advent Singing took place.
The parents drank hot soup or punch to keep them warm while the children prepared themselves for singing. All the children stood around the big Christmas tree. The Christmas decorations for the tree were also made by the TAZ children during handicraft or in Kindergarten.
All grades sang an individual song and other songs were presented in bigger groups or even from the whole school. We started with our TAZ song which was composed by one of our teachers.
To end the evening everybody enjoyed some biscuits, mandarins and lebkuchen.
- Inauguration of the playground14.12.2009
-
The new playground was our focus when starting the school after the autumn break. To inaugurate the playground we organised a sack hopping competition to support "chance for children", a project for children in Ghana living on the streets. TAZ children were looking for sponsors to donate money for each completed lap.
As refreshment we offered apples and pears, Swiss bread and apple juice from a farmer in Horgen.
