-Third, the blanquette: The blanquette is a dish based on veal meat, cream, mushrooms and some vegetables. It is often served with simple rice seasoned with blanquette juice.

The Dreihackengasse is also a music school. 🎼 In some classes music is a really important subject, just like in our class. We have two music exams in one semester. And also, if you want to go to a music class, you have to play an instrument. For example, the piano. And you have to be really good at playin' it! 🗣 My favourite thing is, that every year the 3rd classes are doing a musical. This year we have to perform the musical KWELA KWELA. Nobody (except the music teachers) really likes that musical but it's ok because it's still going to be very funny (if it's possible to do because of the horrible covid situation 🐔) ! And we are singing in a choir too, with another music class, which is very nice. But there's not just a choir, we also have a school band.&nbsp;They make really cool music. And yes that's it, I hope you like it!! 🎶 Julia&nbsp; 🏳️‍🌈 👽

THE MURINSEL &nbsp;In 2003 Graz became the European Capital of Culture. For this occasion the American artist Vito Acconci designed a "floating" island in the middle of the Mur river. The island is linked to the banks on both sides. Therefore, you can use it as bridge. You can reach the Murinsel without going over a staircase. At the east side there is an elevator to get down to the footbridge and on the west side the footbridge leads directly to the street. So, you can enter the island with a stroller or a wheelchair.On the island there is coffeeshop and a sort of a small open-air stage, where you can sit. I was a few times on the Murinsel and I think it is an original place of interest in Graz.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Johanna

BG/BRG/MG Dreihackengasse Our School, the Dreihackengasse, is a middle- and highschool near the centre of the capital city of Styria, Graz. The school is surrounded by the outdoor sport site and the back and front garden of the school. The Dreihackengasse looks very modern, both from the outside and inside. Its facade is mainly clad with black and white rectangular tiles and a dark purple shimmering color, though due to being built in 1980, the school had a few minor changes. Inside you will find large hallways with the individual classrooms in larger group rooms where all the lockers are. There are four group rooms on the ground floor for the middle school classes, and three balconies for every group room except for the second and third group rooms, who share one. Most of the classrooms are built in such a way that through the large windows you can directly see in either a garden of the school or the street, so that there’s also sunlight coming in, although there’s also classes who share a little atrium with other classes. As mentioned at the top, the Dreihackengasse is also a high school, so you can also graduate here. Once you get to high school here, there’s more courses like the project (p) course. The first floor is also where all the science and computer rooms are, and one stairway up from there are two more music rooms. Fabian

Krampus in Austria On the 5th of December is the traditional Krampus day in Austria. The Krampus was said to be a horrible mixture of a human and a beast. He took children who were not good and brought them to a horrible place. Now, people dress up because they want to scare someone. In their costumes they run after people in the dark.

Nikolaus in Austria The 7th of December is the Nikolaus day in Austria. The Nikolaus is a person who dresses up so he looks like an old man with a long white beard and he wears a red coat and a sharp red hat. He always has the Krampus next to him because when children aren’t good then they get a hit from the Krampus. But when they are good, they get some sweets, nuts and tangerines. Lorenz

Today it is part of primary school. You have to use 10 keys to get to the top, but it's worth it because the view is great. Kacper, Kuba, Platon, Kira, Mikołaj

DISTANCE LEARNING IN SP36 We have our lesson on Teams. It is Microsoft tool for meetings also we can do our homework.&nbsp; Classes in our remote school last about 30 minutes and then I have a 15-minute break.&nbsp; By remote we can get up 5 minutes before the lessons.&nbsp; You probably wonder how does the P.E. looks like. On those lessons our teacher sends a video of exercies and we do not have to do it, but usually our class is doing them.&nbsp; Our exams are also interesting because teachers make them on other platforms.&nbsp; Also, our school has a bought an access for students to a site called Eduelo. It is a site where we canrevise things in an entertaining way.&nbsp; Distance learning has many advantages and disadvantages, but most would like to go back to school.&nbsp; Miłosz, Victoria, Patrycja, Paulina
