Of Butterflies and Animal Poems

– Presentations in primary school

At regular intervals the pupils of the elementary and secondary level present their results from the lessons they have learned to classmates from the other grades. Today there were two presentations and great amazement among the audience.In the first hour, the students of class 3/4 (DaF) shared what they had learned about the butterflies in specialist knowledge.
In addition to the information about the habitat, the life cycle and the nutrition, the pirate class was very enthusiastic about what butterflies are able to do: roll the antenna in and out, see it in color and even taste things with their feet.In the past few weeks, students in grade 5/6 have been studying poetry in the German Plus class. At the end of the lesson, they wrote their own animal poems and today presented them to class 3 in a “museum tour”: from the advantages of a cat as a pet to the short life of a gecko, to the dreaming romance of a pig, the pupils were enthusiastic about the creativity and inventiveness of the presenters.The poems were given musical accompaniment by a class 6 student on the piano. “The poems were fun, varied and very creative,” said Ken from grade 3.
