STONEHENGE - more than 4000 years old - Prehistoric Monument

21st June - MIDSUMMER SOLSTICE

21st December - MIDWINTER SOLSTICE


In only four days there will be "the longest night" of the year - our ancient ancestors celebrated this day every year - they were hopeful that the sun was going up, days would become longer and life would start again...

...


CIRCE du SOLEIL - Sonnencircus

Thank you so much, dear Simone, for this wonderful hint. It has nothing to do with English, but with our school circus, and really is a good example for the perfection and variety of things that can be shown in a circus. The artists belong among the best of the world.
I think I have been watching YouTube videos for quite an hour before I finally chose these four videos, but there are many more. We can't travel to Frankfort or Salzburg to watch it live - but we can watch it here on YouTube. This circus has many different faces, but it is mostly very colourful and energetic.





Here you will be able to see a performance with water and diving artists:






Now, watch the fantastic flying man, which I liked the best of the three, but go to YouTube and just find more... to relax... and dream ...





What a wonder these artists don't just crash into each other - I am full of admiration:

BT Team Ellen

Hey classmates,
now in my first entry, I will show you what Ellen MacArthur did during the last decade.
The story about her that is published in our English textbook is 9 years old. Now she doesn't sail alone any more, now she has a Team. The BT Team Ellen. I added some information about it.


I hope you will like it

with kind regards,

Daniel
