Kindergarten

Children learn about China

Last month the kindergarten children of the European School Munich got to know China. The occasion was the beginning of the new year according to the Chinese calendar. It is the year of the rat, the children learned. They also learned in which years they themselves were born: In the year of the snake, the horse, the goat and the monkey. The children also learned the Chinese numbers up to ten and they tasted Chinese noodles. They made percussion instruments and practiced a dragon dance to the rhythm.

A highlight of the project was finally the visit of the Chinese Tower in the English Garden. Together with the kindergarten team and parents who helped with the excursion, the children took the bus. Using public transport is part of ESM's environmental school concept. After arrival, first of all there was a small snack, then the tower was explored. It has 12 sides and five floors, which are climbed by a big spiral staircase, golden bells hang from its roof. Thanks to the beautiful weather, the kindergarten children could also play in the nearby playground. So everybody had a great time and could learn a lot about the Chinese culture.

Parents and children eat together

Goulash and couscous, ratatouille and salad. This was on the menu on Tuesday, February 4. But unlike usual, the kindergarten children did not eat alone on this day: they had invited their parents. About 70 parents were able to gain an insight into the daily routine of the kindergarten and the canteen at the new Fasangarten site. Did they enjoy the meal? In any case, the atmosphere was cosy. The kindergarten team was very happy about the visit. If it is desired, there can certainly be a repeat.

The cafeteria is operated by the local company Il Cielo, just like at the Neuperlach site. The school catering is organised by the Parents' Association of the European School Munich. Special attention is paid to healthy and conscious nutrition.

Primary School

Reading week in the library

Five exciting and thrilling days took place in the library of the Primary School in the first week of March: The Reading Week 2020. 26 classes in total came to the library to participate in unique workshops.

Some discovered the advantages and disadvantages of printed books and electronic devices in "Tablet vs. Books". Others learned how children in other countries learn to read with the PowerPoint presentation "Reading 1x around the world". Some classes wished for "Exciting reading in the dark": The library was darkened, so the pupils could immerse themselves in a story really deeply. One class learnt a Japanese folding technique on the subject of "upcycling", with which they transformed old books into works of art. The primary school library team would like to thank the teachers and their great students - the reading week was again a great success!

Au début, elle a expliqué comment Munich s´est agrandi au fur et à mesure du temps, après elle nous a lu un extrait du deuxième tome qui parlait plus particulièrement du marché qui avait lieu sur l´actuelle Marienplatz qui s´appelait Schrannenplatz. Finalement, elle nous a fait un petit quiz sur ce que l´on mangeait au Moyen Age à Munich.

Ski and snowboard race 2020

Although the snow conditions could have been better, the track still offered optimal conditions for the downhill race. On Thursday, 5 March, the annual ski and snowboard race of the European School Munich took place. More than 200 pupils from classes P5 to S6 took part in the ski run in Sudelfeld, and another 50 went snowboarding in Spitzingsee. The times at the giant slalom were measured professionally, like at a real world cup race. The children and teenagers competed against each other in their respective age groups. Some parents were there to cheer on their children. At the end there were medals at the award ceremony. But even those who didn't make it to the podium had a good time. 

Since 2007, the ski race has been organized every year for the winter sports enthusiasts of the school and enjoys great popularity. In addition to the sporting competition, the race is an important event in the context of transition, as pupils from Primary and Secondary School get to know each other.

The ski race was organized by the teachers Maria De Stefano and Bernd Auerhammer, the snowboard race was organized by the teacher Kristina Scheiber. They were supported by numerous other class teachers, as well as by many parents who helped as ski guides and race assistants. It was only thanks to the cooperation of all those involved that the event could be held so successfully again. The European School Munich would like to thank everyone for their great commitment.

The ESM Players present: Romeo & Juliet

The ESM Players present Shakespeare's romantic tragedy!

This abridged version of the most famous of all love stories is set in modern times – with two households, both alike in dignity, being rival football fans.

A feud, going back several decades, between two mighty families, erupts anew when the Capulet and Montague clans meet in broad daylight. But these are not just any clans, these are football fans – and they seek trouble.

With the Prince trying to install peace between the clashing fans, this peace lasts only briefly since the Montague clan risks further conflict by secretly gate-crashing the Capulets’ masked ball. Romeo, although pining for Rosaline, instantly falls in love with Capulet’s daughter, Juliet. While Capulet has arranged for Juliet to marry County Paris, she, too, falls in love with Romeo. With the help of Sister Laurentia and Juliet’s nurse, the lovers arrange to be married the next day. Meanwhile Mercutio challenges Tybalt to a duel, Romeo tries to intervene – a fatal mistake…
