Coretta's Field Trip to Ballenberg

Coretta had her first field trip of the year where they went to Ballenberg, Switzerland which was approximately a 2 hour bus ride. Ballenberg has more than one hundred century-old buildings from all over Switzerland, 250 farmyard animals, traditional, old-time gardens and fields, demonstrations of local crafts and many special events create a vivid impression of rural life in days gone by. Coretta had the opportunity to see many animals such as chickens, cows, and horses, as well as several old style buildings. She was able to see how and what utensils they used to make food, to build a shelter, make clothes, and witness first hand what rural Switzerland was all about many many years ago. She had the opportunity to make some tea that she was able to bring home with her. The tea is called Good Luck Tea and has a variety of different tea leaves amongst it's ingredients. Coretta's B Drink as it was called consisted of Blackberry leaves, strawberry leaves, and raspberry leaves and a special secret something. She had a great time with her friends and teacher exploring Switzerland's past.
