Class 2b and the Mola-Art Forum

As part of the Bremer School Action Project Class 2b have spent eight weeks finding out about the life of the Kuna Indians of Panama. Every week they visited the Mola Art Forum in Schwachhausen and sewed felt bags, weaved dancing bands and found out lots of interesting things about the Kuna. Here in the school they have also been looking at the everyday life of the Kuna Indians.They have made Indian boats and model canoes and learned the canoe songs as well. They have been playing pan pipes and trying papayas and coconuts. At the end of the two month project there was  a presentation in the classroom for parents and kids from other classes who were interested in what 2b had been doing.

Werder Handball Mini-Cup 2012

Every year Gete School takes part in the Handball Competition for Primary Schools and 2012 is no exception. This year 15 of our pupils went to the competion. They played in 3  teams:

Also outstanding was the contribution from the parents, who not only drove the children to the event but formed a supportive fan group for all the players from our school!

A big thankyou to all the children who took part - thanks for your efforts, you were fantastic!

Red Riding Hood at Gete

How to play Red Riding Hood, Mother and Grandmother when all the actors are men? Of course, with things from the clothes recycling container! Axel Brasgalla and Tom Habben transformed the familiar fairy tale by using things that are  normally thrown away.The result was a theatre performance without a moral point but with lots of humour. The children thanked the two actors with enthusiastic applause!

Spring Concert 23rd March

The whole school took part in the concert, with a little contribution from every class.

Ms Witte, Ms van derBent and Ms Röbbeling introduced Peteri, our new `guest pupil`from Finland and told us all about our partner school in Jämsä.
