Dear members of our school community, !It is been 151 days ago that I took responsibility as head of the school. It was a start into a new world, into a very different culture and into a fascinating and unique school. It was sometimes stressful, it was hard work but I always realized that it is the greatest opportunity in my working life to be a responsible member of this school community. I wished I could have sent my children to this school and I understand why our school constantly grows. We are attractive for students, parents and teachers at the same time and that is why… !
101 students are now attending the Deutsche Schule Kobe/European School since March 31st!!!
We are bigger than ever but remain the family like school, that provides a challenging and caring learning environment. !The cherry trees blossom and accompany us into the warmer season, finally. There is a coincidence with the developments in our school. All of you who went to see the outstanding results of our ‘Project Week’ and the creative ‘Celebration of Books’, could see something like academic blossoming.

EVENTS - Celebration of Books
!!
We all had chances to think about our
favorite books and how stories can take us to
another place, give us please and help us
learn about something new. The children
dressed up as a favorite character and
thought about the IB learner profile they most
represent: Communicator, Thinker, Caring,
Principled, Risk Taker, Balanced, Inquirer,
Knowledgeable, Open Minded, Reflective.
We talked about why this character had this
kind of Learner Profile. Finally, we followed
the Tiger who came to Tea....and had parade.

Class Activities - Early Years
!Presenting
our very own stories
In the unit on Stories, the
students learned that stories
come in different forms.
They can be found in
books, pictures, songs,
recounts (storytelling),
dance, actions and in
puppets too. For their
summative task for this unit,
the children were asked to
create a story of their own.
They were also asked how
they want to present their
stories. Their choices were
narrowed down into three:
book, puppet show or
storytelling using the
computer and their pictures
(Voicethread).
!Please check out the link below and see
the impressive videos of the students:

Class Activities - Grade 1 & 2 !Field trip to fire station
Grade 1 & 2 students went to the Sumiyoshi Fire Station. It was fun to learn about the different trucks and the reasons
for all of them. We were lucky to see an ambulance get called for an emergency run,
while flashing their lights and sounding the siren.

Our knowledge of ecosystems allows us to aid in their conservation and protection
During our unit about ecosystems the students did a fun activity to learn more about food chains and food webs.
On the playground we started making food chains starting from the sun, then we passed a ball of yarn from the producers like plants to
consumers of these plants and from the herbivores to the carnivores. After we made a lot of these food chains the students realised, that it
actually isn't just chains but that it now looks more like a web!
Then we tried to take out some of the animals and plants in our food web and the students realised how important it is to keep an ecosystem
balanced because everything is connected!
