Famous legends in the Scottish winter
What the kids thought ...
"We learnt to make beautiful drawings for our legends."
Legends and blizzards
"It was fun talking about the German letters, ä, ö and ü!"
"Now I might take German in Secondary school!"
Pupils from Dommitzsch in Saxony visited Cauldeen Primary School in Inverness, Scotland. The German pupils taught their new friends all about the legend of Siegfried, and the children even made an action-packed video together.
The project was on legends, and the highlights of the trip included a visit to Urquhart Castle, bowling, a visit to Culloden Battlefield, and lots of snow!
The children from Germany loved the dramatic Scottish countryside, and the Scottish children were really impressed by the exciting legend of Siegfried (from the Nibelungen saga).
