New club offer: drumming teaches rhythm and community
Rhythm is our constant companion: heartbeat, pulse, breathing. Participants in the drumming club led by Hernández Diaz experience this.
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.
Teambuilding
The highlight was the teambuilding with Lena Bergquist, who organised some great games. We were all able to get to know each other better and familiarise with our three new colleagues.
English test
The kids in Mr Mike Brennan’s English class study the language at IMS’s highest level, improving their skills in writing, reading comprehension, listening and, of course, speaking. The aim of the course - which is taken from year 4 to year 6 - is to help the children advance as much as possible, and this year the students again took a final test to assess their progress.
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".
