The children even had the privilege of going to a ‘water caste’ were they observed how water is cleaned for people living in the Munich area and where the water is stored before it is distributed.

Wir lernten viel bei unserem Ausflug in das Kindermuseum. Wir besuchten die Ausstellung ‚Bau mit‘ und erfuhren viel über das Bauen von Häusern. Anschließend konnten die Amethysten selbständig viele verschiedene Dinge wie zum Beispiel ihr Traumklassenzimmer oder eine Mauer bauen.
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. After having watched a movie detailing the resistance and interrogation of Sophie Scholl, Saturn went with Mr. Hill to see the places where it all really happened (Except the interrogation and execution because that building was torn down a long time ago.). We started by...
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’ – 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...
Im Heimat- und Sachunterricht (HSU) haben wir Getreidearten sowie deren Bedeutung und Verwendung als Thema durchgenommen und dazu eine Farm besucht. Die Kinder- und Jugendfarm in Ramersdorf hat die Kinder nach den häufigsten Arten von Getreide und dessen Herkunft gefragt, anschließend durften die Kinder Körner zu Mehl mahlen. Dazu mussten alle kräftig anpacken! Zum Abschluss konnten die Kinder mit ihrem selbst hergestellten Mehl Brötchen backen - ein tolles Erlebnis für alle!
Neben dem Lernen schafften es die Topase, wie jedes Jahr, auch auf das Eis. Mit tatkräftiger Unterstützung von Frau Kleinheisterkamp, Frau Granovski und Frau Buchmüller, drehten die Topase ihre Runden. Nach anfänglichen kleinen Schwierigkeiten hatten alle viel Freude am Eis, und es war für uns alle wunderbar zu sehen, wie sehr sich die Lernpartner gegenseitig halfen und sich das Eislaufen beibrachten. Jeder Topas kann nun Eislaufen und wir hoffen, dass alle es in den Ferien einmal schaffen,...
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 ...
