…and it’s that time of year again.
Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to many children this year.
As they do every year, the OGS staff baked cakes for everyone.
The children looked back on the past year—but they also looked ahead and are looking forward to what comes after summer break!
We wish you all the very best from the bottom of our hearts!
The Pottery Club is small but mighty!
This club meets every two weeks.
Conny Lageveen is a pro when it comes to pottery and works with the small group to show them how to create beautiful pieces and what techniques are needed to shape a small animal or a vase.
Before summer break, the children get to take their artwork home.
As part of our relaxation club, some of the children worked with Susanne Lachnicht on the topic of "Gratitude".
The results are now hanging in the playroom of our OGS.
One week before our trip to Park Epe, the OGS helpers discuss what still needs to be organized: lunch, drinks, which games to take along and much more!
Thank you very much for planning this great afternoon together with the team
and also for carrying it out with fixed tasks!
We are all very much looking forward to it!
The children who were allowed to visit the research gallery this time were absolutely thrilled.
Great works of art were created there, a lot was discovered, experimented and explored.
Many children were particularly fascinated by the "electrics" area.
Thanks to Mr. Bürger for making these visits possible!
The Christmas party was very well attended again this year.
Many relatives and friends of our OGS children visited us to find out more about the work of the OGS.
A combination of a cozy coffee and exchange as well as the presentation of the AGs of our OGS made this possible.
A big thank you to everyone who helped to make this afternoon so great!
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026!
It has been running since October - the new jewelry club.
Under the guidance of Elanur Tasaroglu, a social work student, four to five children can create beautiful necklaces, bracelets or earrings every Thursday.
The children need a lot of dexterity for this!
If something doesn't work right away, Ela supports them with a lot of calm and patience, so that at the end of the lesson every child can go home with a "real piece of jewelry".
Susanne Lachnicht has trained in the subject of "relaxation for children" and has been offering a working group on this subject since this school year.
The children experience dream journeys, the sound of singing bowls or yoga with calm music and can find peace here.
A warm welcome!
We welcomed our new OGS children in a small ceremony.
The respective godparents had already diligently designed welcome cards in advance - the new children had not expected such a nice surprise!
Nice to have you with us!
For nine children, it is time to say goodbye, as they will not be returning to OGS after the summer vacations.
At a small celebration with homemade cake and cold drinks, the children talked about the past and the future.
Everyone is sad that their time at OGS is over, but they are also looking forward to the new chapter ahead.
When asked what the best thing about OGS was, the children replied: "Everything!"
Of course, we are very happy about that.
At the end of the celebration, each child received a goodbye bag.
All the best for you!
