ÖSB: What are the changes?
by Tilki Tekla 8A
I asked the former EUS student Anna von der Bank
about the changes in her new school. She said, that
everything was different. In the ÖSB you have to take
notes in every lesson because without notes you can’t
write a test. She also said that the tests are longer,
they usually take 2 hours. Furthermore they have
smaller check-ups, repetitions and they have a lot of
homework. Anna´s class has less classes than we do,
but they learn as much or even more. In the ÖSB there
are also optional lessons, like Italian, volleyball, maths,
IT, chess or art. I think it is cool that the students can
choose between different subjects. Anna doesn´t
have a desk drawer but she has a school locker. In the
gymnasium there is a snack bar and free WiFi which is
available for every student. Anna really likes the ÖSB
and I hope I will get the chance to like it too.
Model City
by Zalán Barts 6B
In the last Geography lessons we learned about cities and urban
development. It´s an interesting topic and soon we had the idea
to build our own paper model cities. We were divided into two
groups. The first group started to build Vienna which is a typical
European city and the other one chose to build an oriental
city. At the same time class 6A started to work on a typical US
and a futuristic city. Finally we want to present our cities to
each other.
We had about seven lessons to do that. Each team had two
group leaders who told everyone else what they had to do.
Some had to build houses, some designed green areas or streets
and some glued all the buildings on a large base plate.
The result are two fantastic
cities. I think both did a
great job but I´m in the
European group so I like it
better. If you are interested
in this project you should
visit us on the Open Day.
We are going to display the models next to our classroom.
