Outdoor Learning in German!

On Monday, children in Primary 1, 2/3 and 3/4 took part in an outdoor learning activity led by our visitor Andrea from the Goethe Institut. She taught the children a little about Germany and the children learned to identify it on a map of Europe. They also learned the names for many animals, while on a ‘treasure hunt’ for animals and animal cards which were scattered all over the football field. We found out that there are lots of animal names in English which sound similar in German!  We learned to count in German and also collected natural materials and stick them onto a special card to take home. Everyone had a great time and we would like to thank Andrea for all of her hard work, with the younger classes this week and with the older pupils a few weeks ago.
