Gib mir Sonne




You can find the notation right here now. To listen to the song, have the video in the elder posts. Good luck! Jyrki















I have put more photos on today. These photos are of the reception classrooms, that have set up garden centres in their classrooms. Children can pretend to take on the role of shopkeepers, gardeners etc.





I have also included photos of art work that my children have done. The children had to make an animal camouflage into a background of its habitat. They used watercolour pencils to create the background. Then they added the animal and stuck it on its environment.

Music and geography





Hi - I started working on two themes in music. I started with a finish sentence of a song, which is called RAUHA - pupils saw the 8 notes and invented own lyrics in german language.
With a second group - year 5 / I started to play the song: Gib mir Sonne, which is in german language. I am very busy to post the notes in the next two days.
I found out that it is good, to share the documents, we are working with. And in May, we should exchange our papers lively - but that's a second step, which I will explain later.
In year 7 I am teaching geography, biology and history at the present moment.
In geography we examine the different climate belts on earth, in biology we do this lake project.
I think we should do it in the same way, Hanne worked with her pupils.
Find the names of the plants, animals in each language. Show differences, etc.
Now - no more words but some pictures.
Two - from music / and one of my grade 7 pupils. Sheets of our books - coming tomorrow. Bye Jürgen

Well hello everyone!








We have started to look at plants in my class. The children in my class are aged 5 and 6 and our theme for this half term is PLANTS. The children have labelled parts of a flower/plant and I have taken some photos of their work. Also included is a display that a teacher has in her classroom about plants. As soon as any other work is produced by the children in our school, I will post on here. Children in my department, are going to be looking at plants found in our school area and in another green area outside of school.








Hope you are all well!!
