Assembly

Wie jeden Montag treffen wir uns alle im Lunch Raum zu einem „Assembly“. Die letzten zwei Montage befassten wir uns mit unseren „Lunch-Regeln“, die Sie unten sehen. Viele dieser Regeln werden gut eingehalten, auf andere werden wir in Zukunft wieder vermehrt achten.

In kleinen, klassengemischten Gruppen besprechen die Kinder, was sie genau malen möchten...

...und gestalten dann ein Bild zu der zugeteilten Lunch-Regel.

Weihnachtssingen

To celebrate Christmas as a whole school the children were involved in a wonderful performance for their parents. This was based on the story "So ein Kamel" by Andrew Bond with songs sung in both English and German.

The children worked really hard and it was great to hear so many positive comments from parents after the performance. A big thanks again must go to Frau Weinmann and Frau Roth, in addition to the other staff members, for all of their super efforts.

Christmas is coming...

Last week our Christmas tree arrived in school. During the afternoon our Grade 1&2 class helped to decorate the tree in the Aula.

This is better than homework!

Just a little higher...

While taking turns to decorate the tree, the children also made some colourful decoration for the classrooms.

Advent

Today the children were introduced to their new "Christmas Room" located at the top of Villa Silvia. The children were able to sing songs and learn a little about Christmas. This 'ritual' will continue every morning until we finish for Christmas.

To help get us in the festive mood the weather decided to treat us to some snow!

The children had lots of fun at break and lunch time!

Christmas Cookies

Unbelievably it is already the time of year when the build-up to Christmas begins! To start our Christmas festivities this week we began making decorations for our special 'Christmas Room'. From 1st December we will be using this every morning as part of our Advent ritual.

We also had some special help this week from Frau Keller's mum. She helped our children make beautiful Christmas cookies. We had lots of fun making them...

...and tasting them!

Nature Day

"Am Dienstag verbrachten wir einen tollen Tag im Tierpark Goldau. Wir haben viel erlebt und wir durften auch verschiedene Tiere füttern.
In der Tierschule im Park konnten wir besonders viel über den Igel lernen, sogar anfassen durften wir ihn!
Dieser Tag wird uns noch lange in bester Erinnerung bleiben."

Daddies Come to School...

The Kindergarten children had a wonderful evening on Tuesday 3rd November with some very special guests....their daddies! The children and their Daddies worked hard to carve the Räbelichtli for our procession through Männedorf. Frau Keller and Mrs. Pugh would like to say a big thank you to all the very creative Dads, Mums and Grandads that came to help us.

Father and son in deep thought during the Räbelichtli planning stages!

Happy workers!

Daddies concentrating hard!
