Class 6b is running for the title of “Germany’s Best Class”

Class 6b at Steinmühle wants to become “Germany’s Best Class (2018)” and is applying to participate in the quiz show of the same name on the Kinderkanal (https://www.kika.de/die-beste-klasse-deutschlands/index.html).

Sixth- and seventh-grade classes are eligible to participate if they submit the required materials to the station by November 9. Entries can take the form of a video, for example, which is what Class 6b decided to do.

Under the guidance of their homeroom teacher, Nicole Faß, the class has been planning this video practically since the beginning of the school year, initially focusing their efforts on class council meetings. A “directing team” formed afterward then wrote a script based on the ideas gathered from the class. Among other things, the students found the experience they gained from the radio play project at the end of 5th grade helpful, since they had also had to write a script for the recordings there.

With the generous support of art teacher Ines Vielhaben, the first scenes have now been filmed: classroom clips, sports scenes, outdoor scenes, and introductions of the students. Additional scenes were filmed in collaboration with Mr. Bonn, the uncle of one of the students, who works in this field and has also agreed to edit the application video for the class.

The girls and boys in Class 6b are really enjoying the project. In addition to the title “Best Class in Germany,” the competition offers a class trip to Scotland as a prize.
