Sports and Games Day

Thursday 12th July was Sports Day at the Schwachhausen sports field for 3rd and 4th years. Years 1 and 2 stayed at school for a Games Day in the playground.The day began with a song together in the classroom and the rain stopped for long enough that we could spend the whole time outside.
The activities were organised with the help of senior students from  Ronzelenstrasse School.

Scooter Driving Licence

On Wednesday 11th July the Scooter Mobile came to Gete School. Our Community Police Officer Frese watched over the obstacle course, where the first year pupils tested their co-ordination on a scooter.

Classes 1 and 2 Football Tournament

On Tuesday 10th July was the ever popular football tournament for years 1 and 2. The teams were loudly cheered on by their classmates and the referee Martin Kremming had an easy job because everyone showed such fair play. Many thanks to Mrs Ackershott, who organised the tournament.

Childrens Concert

Mrs van der Bent and Mrs Rüskamp have been working hard to prepare for Monday`s Childrens Concert when the String Orchestra, the Childrens`s Orchestra and the Flute Group showed what they had learnt this year. Seventy children played for their enthusiastic parents and siblings. Also there were some future first graders who came with their parents to see what can be achieved after just  one year of `string class`.

Book Box Festival

Since February there have been two big boxes of books in every classroom.
At the Book Box Festival every class introduced their favourite books. Eleven books were brought to life as a series of pictures, scenes from the books were acted out, or extracts simply read aloud. This was a great way to motivate all the children taking part to keep on reading.
The books were on loan from `Mobili Libri` and Ms Mierig also presented this event.

Schwachhausen Bike Championship

Four pupils from classes 4a and 4b took part in the Schwachhausen Primary Schools Bicycle Championship accompanied by Officer Frese, our community policeman.
They were  heartily cheered on by their classmates at the bike park in the Vahr.
