Mathematical City Tour

On Tuesday evening eleven of our colleagues took part in a mathematical tour of the city organised by Hilde Block. In the marketplace, in front of the City scales, by the Bessel memorial (with the big egg), on the Schlachte and in the Biblegarden we saw many examples of mathematical phenomena in accessible forms - some with a Bremen connection and some without.

At the exit of the Lloyd Passage we saw that the mathemetician and astronomer, Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel took part in measuring the land in and around Bremen. What was then the church tower of St. Ansgarii was used as a measuring point.

Along the way the teachers were instructed in the ancient mathematical art of counting on their fingers and toes!

First Day at School

All the new pupils and their families met under the chestnut tree in front of the school and waited for the doors to finally open at ten o`clock. The third graders formed a welcoming line and everyone walked past them into the gym, which was by now very full. The new first graders sat on benches in front of the stage and, accompanied by the Parent`s Orchestra, the `Gete Kids` choir was led in song by Ms Adler. Ms Krivec`s class presented the musical piece ´All Little Mice Must Learn to Read`.

Then down to business! The new kids came up on to the stage and were assigned to their different classes. They then walked in line with their new class teachers, past the proudly waving moms and dads on their way to their new classrooms.

Outside in the sunshine the parents and grandparents enjoyed coffee and cake together. Many thanks to the parents of the second grade for baking and organising the coffee!

Here we are

This will be the english version of our german Blog "Der Geteblog".

Step by step we are walking towards autumn. It's getting darker even earlier and so you need something to read for the inside.
So we, as a school, want to help you by creating this blog. We want to inform you regularly about our activities, events and news concerning our school.
So we hope you'll like our little articles.
