When we were discussing healthy  nutrition and eating habits in our English class, the idea for a cooking afternoon was born. Franziska Hofko, the head chef, picked out the recipes, and all the students bought the ingredients and whipped up this meal for us.

Appetizer: Noodle soup with vegetables

Main course: Crispy chicken with rice and broccoli

Dessert: Brownies

It was truly a wonderful and cosy afternoon. I not only enjoyed the time with you but also the lovely food. Thank you for your dedication. 😀

You earned three stars (out of three) for that! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Liebe Schulgemeinschaft,

wir freuen uns sehr, euch heute eine richtig tolle Kurzgeschichte vorzustellen! Die Geschichte mit dem Titel „A Fatal Argument“ wurde von einer unserer Schülerinnen geschrieben – und sie zeigt, wie viel Talent und Kreativität bei uns an der Schule steckt.

Hier ist die komplette Geschichte:

Inspector Harris Hayes was lying in his bed, but he could not fall asleep. While he was staring on the wall and counting the cracks in the ceiling the phone rang. Reluctantly, he got out of bed and answered the phone. It was his assistant John Dublin. Hayes was wondering why he called him so late. “What is going on, John? It's the middle of the night. I hope you have a good reason for disturbing me!” John Dublin spoke so fast that the Inspector could not follow him. “Dublin can you speak a bit more slowly. I did not understand you”, he said annoyed. “ “I’ve just received a call informing me that Fiona Smith, the richest woman in the United Kingdom, has been murdered.”

When Hayer and John arrived at the crime scene, Inspector Harris Hayes immediately felt bad. Something was wrong. When he saw Fiona Smith's body, he knew this was no ordinary case. “There you are at last! I've been waiting for you!”, a bright voice sounded behind them.

It was Detective Stella Bright, who had already interviewed the suspects and was waiting for them at the crime scene. Hayes whispered to his assistant, “John! Why didn't you tell me that SHE is the reporting officer in this case! You know we don't get along!” Bright began to report what she had discovered so far: Four suspects had been near the victim at the time of the murder: 

Oliver Grant
was Mrs. Smith's gardener. He had worked for over ten years for her and knew Fiona well. He stated not to have seen her that evening, but he said he heard loud arguing coming from the boathouse.

Amelia Brooks
a journalist, had interviewed Fiona several times for an article about her charity projects. She was near the boathouse, working on a report about local pollution and was surprised to meet her there.

Daniel Kerr
a former business partner of Fiona's dead husband, lives across the lake. He claimed to have had no contact with Fiona for years but maintained that she had been in the boathouse.

Lucy Harper
often goes jogging along the lake. She was the one that discovered the body. Lucy only knew her from the newspaper. 

The investigators listened to all the statements together again. The boathouse was mentioned in all of them. So, they decided to take a closer look. When they arrived, they found an old-fashioned, broken earring. But that was not the victim’s earring, because she never wore such earrings. They took this evidence with them and asked the suspects again. Suddenly the journalist started talking, "That earring belonged to Daniel Kerr's wife. I have seen her with those earrings in a few articles. But she died years ago.” Daniel Karr wanted to say something but then he decided not to. 

Sometime later, he confessed. He had gone to Fiona for money. She refused. An argument broke out in the boathouse. When she threatened to expose his tricks, he lost control, pushed her, and she fell, hit her head on the stone edge, and died immediately.
