Meanwhile, Nursery focussed on German food. They ate sauerkraut, Frankfurter sausages, cornichons and the most German food of all time; the kohlrabi. The children gave mixed reviews but enjoyed learning about German cuisine, especially the North German delicacy called Mettigel (raw meat!), one of the strangest culinary decisions to have ever been made.
Year 1: read ‘Ein Löwe in der Bibliothek!’ (A Lion in the Library!). We then created our own lion! They also created our own Bauhaus inspired art pieces and learnt about Paul Klee the German Artist.
Year 2 learnt about German food in different parts of Germany, and also looked at what food Germans eat during their celebrations, such as at Easter.
Year 3 learnt about what makes Germany famous, from sights such as the Cologne Catedral, to famous German people such as Sebastian Vettel (F1 driver).
Year 4 discovered more about the history of the Berlin Wall, why it was built and the consequences of it.
Year 5 learnt about amazing German inventions and discoveries and how they have impacted the world, such as Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press.
Year 6 investigated the German suffrage (women’s rights) movement and wrote magazine articles about this.
