Punch, singing, and plenty of Christmas spirit

We received the following report about the 5th-grade Christmas party from Ronja Heckmann, Dr. Claudia Röder, Laura Haller, and Leonie Zapf:

On the afternoon of December 8, the 5th-grade class from Steinmühle gathered with their parents at the Forum to enjoy a cozy celebration of the pre-Christmas season together. For the occasion, the wind ensemble class, led by Andreas Jamin, had rehearsed and performed three songs—everyone was thrilled at what the group was able to do after just seven rehearsals!

 

Choral Music and Piano Music

Afterward, the 5th-grade choir, conducted by Daniel Sans, performed several more songs. “Feliz Navidad” in particular inspired the parents in the audience to sing along and clap along, while Felix Tondorf accompanied the choir on the piano. The audience was then treated to another moving piano piece performed by Greta Bamberger.

 

Learning About Christmas Traditions

As the final item on the program, Class 5c presented “Christmas Around the World” by interviewing children from Romania, Armenia, Spain, and Colombia about the Christmas traditions in their countries.

The rest of the time was spent enjoying the children’s punch that was served, the Christmas treats everyone had brought, and relaxed conversations. While Christmas classics played in the background, children could also make stars and candy “moose” in the craft corner organized by the parents. The festive atmosphere was enhanced by the numerous Santa hats on everyone’s heads and the creative decorations on the tables, which the children had made in advance during art class.

All in all, it was a very pleasant afternoon that ended with “Fröhliche Weihnacht” and “Jingle Bells,” putting everyone in the right mood for the holiday season.
