What do Numbers Sound Like?

Is there a connection between math and music?
The children from our school were finding out the answer to this question from the music teacher Michael Bradke with his stage programme `Join In - Musical Numbers`.
With hands, feet and voices the children experienced addition with bars of music, odd and even numbers and counting with drumming. Especially fun for the children was hearing different musical interpretations of their own names.
This stage programme was only possible thanks to the support of our school club.

Ecumenical Celebration

This year we once again had an ecumenical religious celebration, concentrating this time on the story of Jonah and the Whale. Class 4b have been working hard on a theatre piece with Ms Witte and Ms Buchheim and performed this with the narration of Ms Zaremba from St Ursula`s Catholic Church.  The end prayer was given by Pastor Grosse  from  the Jona Evangelist Church. Once more the celebrations were accompanied beautifully by the choir (Ms Adler) and the parents`orchestra.

All Day Concept

At the school conference on the 19th November the all day school concept was adopted with a clear majority. Further information for anyone who is interested can be found on the Homepage under the menu point `school programme`.This all day school concept is central to the architectural plans currently being submitted for a new building in the school grounds. The new building will include a canteen , subject rooms and classrooms and should be in place by 2015.

Christmas Bazaar

This year was the school club`s first Christmas Bazaar. Christmas decorations were put up and the tables were full of wonderful handmade Advent decorations and Christmas gifts. The teachers`room served as cafeteria for the afternoon and lots of Gete parents turned up with their children to spend a couple of hours having coffee and cake. They all returned home with full bags!
It was well worth all the effort put in by the organising team as the school club made enough money to support future projects and ideas for the school.
Many thanks to all!
