Today we visited the nativity scene in the Agatha Church. The sexton, Mr. Holtkamp, told us a lot about the crib. Afterwards, everyone was allowed to light a candle and think of someone. After a little refreshment, we walked back to school.
On Wednesday, a policewoman was there and all the children were allowed to ask questions and take a close look at the uniform. She then read a police book to all the children. All the children received a traffic booklet from Captain Bluebear and those who wanted to could try on the handcuffs.
As they have done for the past 12 years, Mr. and Mrs. Gartmann were back at our school today to press apple juice together with the first graders and some parents. First the apples were cut into small pieces and then chopped twice before they were put into the juicer. With combined forces, the juice was squeezed out. It was then strained and finally each child was allowed to bottle their own freshly squeezed apple juice.
