Grainmill

Friday 27th of September (in St Ansgar)

My school day started as always at 7 am. After breakfast we left the house at 7.50 am. The way to school takes more or less 15 minutes, because I live in a small village called Grafton close to St. Ansgar
The first class starts at 8.15 am, I went with my Host sister Emma to Spanish class.
The second class of the day was History. In this class the teacher wanted me to play a game.
It was me against the Americans. The first one to name 5 famous people from the other student’s country would be the winner.
I would say we ended up in a tie.

After history all of the Germans met and waited excitedly for our first school bus ride.
We had a really nice bus driver, so we asked her to take a photo of all of us in front of the bus as a reminder.
We drove about 5 minutes to the Grainmillers factory on the outskirts of St. Ansgar.
When we arrived, we were welcomed by one of the employees. First of all she gave us brief introduction about the factory.

None of us have ever been to a factory like this, so it was quite interesting for all.
Later they showed us how they produce their products and explained to us how the machinery works.
As a departing gift, they gave us oldmeal, which they produce at this factory.
Then we drove back to school and had our last classes together with our hosts.


In conclusion you could say, it was a really productive day, and everyone learned something new.
