Experimenting with Everyday Objects

Can a paper-clip swim? Can you blow a tin-foil ball when it is in a bottle? How does a tea-light ride a lift?

After  three days of the `Experimenting with Everyday Objects`project the pupils of Gete School have the answers. There were twenty stations for the children to perform different experiments. They discovered that it is very difficult to blow out a candle through a funnel or to blow up a balloon that is in a bottle.They built jellybaby submarines and  made an oboe out of a drinking-straw.

The kids were very enthusiastic participants in this project and it was just a shame it was only three days; the pupils would have been happy to carry on experimenting !

Schools Make Music in the Kult Theatre

The finals of the `Schools Make Music`competition were on Monday. All five primary schools made a super presentation, each one very different,but all of a very high musical standard. In the end the School auf den Heuen was chosen to represent Bremen in the Nationl Finals in Koblenz 2013. Well done!
From the secondary school entries, Oberschule Seebaldsbruck and Kurt-Schumacher-Allee Gymnasium were successful.
