The children in class 1b recorded a radio play together with Ms. Vortkamp. Each child had a role; there were narrators, animal voices, human voices and noisemakers. On Wednesday, we made ourselves comfortable on cushions in the assembly hall. We then had popcorn and listened to the whole radio play. It was great fun.
In science lessons, we kept lots of objects made of different materials in a box of water to see if they would float or sink. In the end, we were even able to make metal float. A ship made of aluminum foil carried 72 marbles before it sank.
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.
Friday was the day again. All classes worked hard and decorated their classrooms and the school corridors for Christmas. Many parents helped out and there was a great buffet of cookies.
On 31.10.2026 we celebrated our first class party. Everything was decorated for Halloween and well prepared. There were spider webs, small and large spiders, big pumpkins, mummies and ghosts. All the children and some of the parents came dressed up. There was also a small performance: the skeleton shake. After the dance, there was lots of playing, talking and laughing. It was a great class party!
Ms. Sicking was in every class this week and talked a lot about teeth and dental health. Afterwards, we went to a prepared room. There, everyone was able to test their knowledge at various craft and game stations.
We helped King Kunibert solve various puzzles so that the evil sorcerer could not steal the king's treasure.
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.
After getting to know our class mentors briefly yesterday, today we went on a rally through the whole school building with our mentors.
