As part of the year 7 German curriculum this year, students learned about a special day of celebration in Germany. On the 3rd October Germans celebrate the Tag der Deutschen Einheit, commemorating the 3rd October 1990 when Germany once again became a unified country.
After the end of the Second World War, Germany became a divided country and this division was symbolised by the wall which separated East and West Berlin for 28 years. Students learned something of how this division came about and the events that led to Germany being united as one country again.
Students were encouraged to create a map of Germany using items and resources they had at home. Thank you to all those students who submitted entries. We had many excellent ones made and ones created out of very unusual items.
Congratulations to Freddie Jenkins, Riley Chester and Theo Byrne , who were runners-up. And an “Echt gut gemacht” to Jessica Ashford who was our overall winner.
