Excursion to White Rose Museum

On the 17th of December, the 7th grade went on a field trip to see sights relevant to the White Rose, such as the Scholl residence, the White-Rose-Museum in the Ludwig Maximilians University and the memorial cube in the gardens.

We started by...

Pop-Up Cards – Jade

The Jade class very much enjoyed creating pop-up cards for the Christmas market. The learning competencies for this activity were to be able follow instructions carefully, learn folding and cutting accuracy and develop a sense of shape and form through expressing their creativity.

‘Walk like an Egyptian’

'Walk like an Egyptian’ – most of us can sing along to the song, but have you ever actually tried to walk like an Egyptian? At least like the ones depicted in paintings. Well let the Rubies tell you, it’s not that easy!
What also proved challenging was drawing like an Egyptian; the proportions of the figures had to be exact, the correct colours had to be used and the hieroglyphics had to face the right way. However, the Rubies rose to the challenge, proving that they can concentrate an...

Jeder Topas kann nun Eislaufen und wir hoffen, dass alle es in den Ferien einmal schaffen,...

The Vikings – Emerald Learning Group

During this term, we have learned that the Vikings lived in a longhouse which was very smelly, dirty and cramped. The air inside the longhouse was smoky because they did not have windows as it was too cold outside. Instead, they had one small opening in the roof in order for the smoke to go out. The whole family lived together in one room and in the winter, their farm animals also lived with them in their small, cramped houses! We made 3D models of their longhouses and some of them can be found ...

The Number Tree – Jade

The children of grade 1 have enjoyed the story ´The Number Tree´, where a lonely tree flourishes into a happy tree surrounded by plants and animals. This story is a wonderful medium to explore the value of number from 1 to 10 and has given the children the opportunity to compare amounts and understand first addition tasks and number sequencing. The colourful visual aids gave a tangible contextual basis for further exploration and recording.
