Celebrating German National Day at IBSB

Enjoying this special cultural celebration and living like Germans for one day.

This year, because of the pandemic, the IBSB German Year 6 students couldn’t spend the National Germany Day outside school, but made a promise to each other that we would be creative and have fun. The children made a video at home where they spoke in German and included German traditions or activities. The German flag accompanied them in this process and the result was great. All of the children did their best to make an authentic and interesting video. Some of their ideas really need to be mentioned: cooking and explaining a recipe, dancing ballet, talking about tourist attractions in Germany, and many others. We watched the videos during our lesson, commented, laughed, and thoroughly enjoyed the moment. I could see the happiness on my students’ faces. And for their incredible effort, each received a diploma as a present, before going outside to take a nice group photo. Luckily, we had the best weather in October that day – sunny and warm! The other German groups also had a great time with fun and interesting activities during their lessons, such as singing or playing challenging games. Congratulations to all our students learning German – it was a pleasure to celebrate the German Unification Day with you, united as a single German nation for a day!
