Cosmic education – the story about the origin of writing
One of the cosmic stories - about the origin of writing - has recently fascinated the pupils at IMS.
Christmas Singing Event
On St Nicholas' Day, the school management invited everyone to a Christmas carol sing in a romantic atmosphere. This was a way of thanking pupils, parents and colleagues for the appreciation shown to the entire staff of the International Montessori School Berlin in recent months.
Nationwide reading aloud day
We at IMS also took part in the nationwide Read Aloud Day on 17 November. Under the motto "everything to do with books and the written word", the children were able to wander through the school building and take part in interesting activities. Teachers and parents offered entertaining workshops - e.g. on bookbinding, storytelling with the Kamishibai and creating their own comics.
Visit to the ZDF Capital Studio as part of Social Studies
The Tourmaline class at IMS recently had the opportunity to visit the ZDF capital city studio. This visit was organised as part of the Gewi lessons and was closely linked to the topic "Ancient Egypt".
Waste collection campaign on world earth day
Being attentive in natural environments - preferably forest, meadow and water - is a central part of cosmic education. Forest days are an integral part of the school day at IMS. On World Earth Day, the classes Turmalin and Aquamarin carried out a rubbish collection campaign in the surrounding forest of the school and on the shore of Wannsee.
