German video competition

Here is a film some of our year 12 German students have produced for a pasch-net short film competition: The motto was a quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: "Wo viel Licht ist, ist auch starker Schatten" (Where there is a lot of light, there is also strong shadow).



What do you think? Write a comment and let us know!

Student of the Month - March 2013

Our Students of the Month this March is a group of boys in 7R, nominated by Madame Christian:
Harry Cox-Day, Daniel Lawrence-Preston, Jack Plummer and Nathan Vincent have worked incredibly hard as a team, and produced an outstanding piece of work: They have created a board game called 'Weathernary' to practise saying what the weather is like in French, complete with a board, set of rules, cards, and playing pieces. Brilliant!

Willkommen Frau Bauer & Music Exchange

The German department would like to welcome our new colleague from Germany, who will be with us until the end of the school year. Frau Bauer will be helping with speaking practice, as well as teaching small groups and classes. She has first come into contact with Tomlinscote through our German exchange, when she was a pupil at the Robert-Bosch-Gymnasium in Wendlingen (near Stuttgart).

Do make her feel welcome around school!

 

As music is Frau Bauer's second teaching subject, she is currently involved with our music exchange of 23 Tomlinscote students with a school in Munich, organised by Mr Casselton.  

 

24 German visitors have been enjoying their partners' hospitality since Monday, 11 March. In between trips to London and experiencing lessons at Tomlinscote, the young musicians have been busy practising for their Anglo-German concert tomorrow!

 

It's sure to be a great success!

Viel Spaß!
