Dinosaurs Experts

Posted by in Time, Topics

During the topic “Time” the Dragon class (first year) has worked on a big dinosaurs project and pupils became real dinosaurs experts. Teachers decorated the whole classroom with big photos of dinosaurs. They brought books and toys  about the topic, which were available for the pupils all time. It was very exciting to put “dinosaur eggs” into water and wait for their hatching. In arts we glued dinosaurs onto landscapes and got an impression of the archaic world long long ago. We also crafted dinosaurs out of paper plates and…read more

Posted by in Time, Topics

The students of the astronaut class worked in the science course on the topic: “How was the school 100 years ago?“. At the beginning of the course we studied old timetables from 100 years ago and compared them with ours. Furthermore we compared the school rules of that time with our school rules and found a lot of differences. We had a lot of fun doing the practical exercises with pen and ink. We have learned how to write on slate writing boards with slate pencils. We have also tried…read more

In art lessons, the students of the tiger class created a 3D image from a shoebox on the theme “The dissolute time” by Salvador Dali. First of all, the artist and his picture were introduced.

Communication through time

Posted by in Time, Topics

The rocket class has had a really exciting time by exploring how people used to send messages in the past. Travelling through time they constructed drums and tin can-telephones and used morse codes. Of course they also sent messages by these and veriefied the different communication tools. They also tried communication by letter and telephone and had a lot of fun to find out how long the messages took to arrive at the addressees.

Feel the Rhythm

Making music needs a good feeling for timing. The Rocket Class practised a lot of timing and the pupils composed their own rhythm-composition. The Highlight was, of course, being on stage in front of all classmates and performing the own composition. Everybody could be very proud of their performance. Applause to all talented and brave musicians! Rocket class in concert:

The new boxes contain the possibilties to experiment with water and sand, to do some bakery and to play with plasticine. Most of the pupils love choosing a box in the beginning of their leisure time. Some of them need some help to dare the experience which makes them able to make a decision. You can find the description…read more

Finally, everyone…read more
