On the way to the Oktoberfest



This week a new friend joined our class who had just arrived from Germany !


A heartfelt welcome to little Luca and the Hebek family, we are so happy to have you with us in Pre-Kindergarten and the DSKI school community.


Ein herzliches Willkommen an Luca und die ganze Familie Hebek, wir freuen uns, dass ihr bei uns im Pre-Kindergarten und an unserer Schule seid. 

Auf ein spannendes Schuljahr !


We introduced Luca to our morning circle, the rainbow song with colour sticks and of course to our stick hockey using the Chicco soccer goal. 

Soccer is one of Lucas passions and he scored many goals with his classmates!




Luca also enjoys playing with lego, so the children showed him our wonderful train set and together the children constructed a variety of track systems with added houses and farms.






The children role played, driving to various directions and we even went to Germany.


Well, we told the children that the Oktoberfest that is held at our school on Saturday is originally from Germany and we watched the cute video clip again, covering word by word.


Oktoberfest für Kinder


So dear parents, please check your vocabulary skills: What is Dirndl, Lederhose, Hut, Riesenrad, Kettenkarussel, Achterbahn, Hunger, Wurst, Brezel, Lebkuchenherz, Oktoberfest ?


The Pre-Kindergarten children also coloured a drawing of a Dirndl and Lederhose which we will hang up at the entrance to greet visitors to our Oktoberfest.




Last, not least, no Oktoberfest is complete without Weisswurst, Lebkuchenherzen und Brezeln.


So the Pre-Kindergarten children took out their Playdough and started making lots and lots of rolls (snakes) and then watched their teachers making Brezel. 

It was not an easy shape to make, but everyone tried - great job!










Die Kinder hatten sehr viel Spass beim Kneten und “Schlangen” rollen, schauten den Lehrern gut zu wie man die Brezeln formt und haben es auch prompt selbst  probiert. Prima !





We finished the week with a walk to the nearby field to look at the beautiful sunflowers and check out the growth of the sweet potatoes which we will harvest next week.





But first, we will have some delicious Wurst und Brezel at the Oktoberfest tomorrow and lots of fun with family and friends.


Wir freuen uns alle auf ein tolles und erlebnisreiches Oktoberfest an der DSKI mit Familie und Freunden, leckerem Essen, das “O-zapft is”, Spielen, dem Fliegerlied und guter Musik !


Das Fliegerlied


Herzliche Grüsse und bis zum Oktoberfest !
