Excursion to the Frankenhof

We won a trip to Frankenhof Wildlife Park with our herbarium from the Nature Promotion Society. In sunny weather, we started with a guided feeding tour. We were allowed to prepare and feed the food for various animals. For the meerkats, for example, we put the food into two bristly brooms. Then the meerkats had to work a bit for their food.

Afterwards, we had plenty of time to play in the large playground. There was even a brand new, large slide tower. For lunch, we all had a portion of chips before the bus took us back to school.

Easter bunny campaign

All the children received mail from the Easter Bunny and then searched for small parcels on the grass by the jumping pit.

Visit to EGW

We visited the Westmünsterland waste disposal company in Gescher. There we first learned a lot about correct waste separation. We then had to put our knowledge to the test and sort some waste into the correct garbage cans. We then toured the site. There were lots of garbage collection vehicles on the road and people who wanted to unload something at the building yard. We were even able to watch a refuse truck unload all the garbage. Then we made paper. To do this, we tore up old newspapers and colored paper, mashed them into a pulp and worked with scooping frames. Each of us now has a colorful, recycled sheet of paper.

Dental health campaign

Ms. Sicking was in every class this week and talked a lot about teeth and dental health. Afterwards, we went to a prepared room. There, everyone was able to test their knowledge at various craft and game stations.

Reading evening at school

In October 2025, we held a reading evening at the school. We met at the big school gate at 6.00 pm. Everyone had cozy clothes on and cuddly blankets with them. First, Ms. Gerdes, Ms. Duesmann and Ms. Holtmann read us stories by Astrid Lindgren before we made ourselves comfortable in our reading caves. Finally, we all enjoyed a delicious pizza.

Eat potatoes

Today we cleaned the potatoes we harvested yesterday and then cooked them. We then ate the jacket potatoes with delicious apple sauce and herb dip. It was really tasty.

Trip to the potato field

Today we made up for the excursion we missed in second grade: We walked to the Meyer family's potato field. Once there, we first learned a lot about potatoes and how they are grown. We were also able to discover many different varieties in the soil. Then we were allowed to take a close look at the large harvesting machine and even climb on it once. Each and every one of us harvested a bag full of potatoes. Tomorrow we will cook delicious jacket potatoes and enjoy them with apple sauce and herb dip.

This is us in the 2025/2026 school year
