“Hello to All the Children of the World”
The International School gave a warm welcome to their new first graders and parents. On Saturday, August, 29th, 2020, our new Year 1 had a very special first day of school! Due to Corona, the ceremony took place outside at the soccer field. After the welcome speech of Ms Köneke, the Year 2 students performed a small show: starting with the ‘Good Morning' song and a dance ‘Ants In My Pants’, followed by the GFL children presenting the German fairy tale ‘Dornröschen’. The Year 2 students impressed the audience by singing, dancing and acting and so it was what it is supposed to be: an unforgettable moment for those starting schooling! Ms Stamm introduced our new Year 1 students by calling them up on stage. Every child got a red heart balloon, and together with their class team (Ms Napier, Ms Sommer and Elvin) they joined their first short lesson in school. All Year 1 children were happy when they returned to their parents with a little surprise gift and promised to come back on Monday!
