In our PT English sessions we have delved into the world of the ‘Mr. Men and Little Miss’ books. After reading some of the stories together, we put together character profiles and identified the most important details about plot and setting. By this point we were excited, inspired and ready to write our very own stories of Mr. Men and Little Miss characters going on adventures - and misadventures - together!
After many lessons spent brainstorming, planning, writing, illustrating and editi...

Auf Wunsch einiger Kinder beschäftigten wir uns in den letzten Wochen in Neugierologie mit dem Thema „Griechische und römische Götter“. Wir lernten Gaia, Kronos, Zeus, Athene, Cloacina, Mithras und viele andere Gottheiten kennen. Wie wurden sie dargestellt, welche Symbole tragen sie und wofür hat man zu ihnen gebetet? Und da viele griechische und römische Sagen Naturphänomene wie z.B. die Jahreszeiten erklären, hörten wir auch einige Sagen, wie beispielsweise die „Sage der Persepho...

Im Kunstunterricht beschäftigten wir uns über einen längeren Zeitraum mit dem Thema „Fotografie“. Die Kinder durften zu Beginn die verschiedenen Kameras ihrer Lernbegleiterin testen, bevor sie selbst als Hobbyfotografen durch das Lernhaus flitzten und ihre Umgebung mit einer analogen Einwegkamera festhalten durften.
Bis unsere Fotos entwickelt waren, lernten die Türkise Keith Haring kennen und zeigten sich begeistert über seine Werke. Mit viel Freude gestalteten sie ihre eigenen Hari...

In HSU this term, our theme was maps. We had to learn how to read different types of maps, how to follow them, and how to draw our own types: we even created our own planet with countries and capital cities. To celebrate Europe Day on May 9, 2019, our fourth graders had the difficult task of drawing a European map on the chalk wall in the Oasis. By using a projector, chalk and energetic Opal and Malachite fourth graders, the job was done in no time. We learned how to work together and understood...

Although the sun wasn’t shining as much as we’d like, we took advantage of sunny moments to do sports outside and practice our waveboard, skateboard, basketball and street racket skills. Luckily, indoor sports never fail to be a highlight for our learning partners, either!

The highlight of this term was the three-day trip to Burghausen with the Malachites. With their newly acquired knowledge of maps and orientation, the learning partners were very interested in looking at our location on the map and finding out as much as possible about the travel route. We thoroughly enjoyed the camp activities, including a scavenger hunt, a swim in the lake, T-shirt styling and very a popular disco. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience for everybody.

We are extremely excited to announce the test lesson (Probeunterricht) results for this school year: of 36 grade 4 children who participated in the test lessons for secondary school (3 of which for Realschule), 94% have passed successfully!
We are extraordinarily proud of our Jules Verne children! We’d like to congratulate all of the children who passed and can now attend their secondary schools of choice. Only about 6% of our children gave us the news that they didn’t achieve passing gr...

The Jade class has been learning all about the senses and really enjoyed our blind tasting event in the Oasis. We tried a variety of both familiar and less familiar foods by first exploring these foods with our sense of touch or smell before finally tasting them and considering the sometimes strange textures and new flavours.
The fresh basil, spicy horseradish and the exotic fruits were an interesting surprise!

Shortly before Easter Holidays Topaz took a trip to the neighbouring Jugendfarm for a bread baking and lemonade making fieldtrip. Blessed with a warm and sunny day, Topaz took advantage of the weather and stayed outdoors most of the time. Together with our wonderful guides, we got our fingers sticky and kneaded the bread dough. As we left the dough to rise some of the kids learned how to start and upkeep a safe and plentiful fire, while others gathered delicious herbs, squeezed lemons and mixed ...

Over the last few weeks, the Emeralds class have been writing their own stories about the water cycle during their English lessons. They had to imagine that they were a form of precipitation and write about the adventures that their water droplet, hailstone or snowflake went on!
Once they had written their fantastic stories, the Emeralds class created their own story books. The books are aimed at younger children so we now have a wonderful collection of colourful, informative books in our cla...
