Between the Theater and the Ice Palace—a Field Trip for the 5th-Grade Classes

Once again this year, during the run-up to Christmas, the 5th-grade classes went to the theater to see the play “Little Lord Fauntleroy.” Students from other schools were also at the theater, and many children were happy to see their friends from elementary school again. The performance that followed had the audience laughing and marveling, and it ended with thunderous applause.

 

Visible Progress on Skates

Afterward, the entire class marched in a “duck march” through Marburg’s Upper Town toward Georg-Gaßmann Stadium, where the ice rink is currently being set up. There, the children rented skates or quickly slipped into the ones they’d brought with them, and then spent the rest of the day among the food stands or on the ice. In addition to a few “pros,” there were many children who, although they fell over quite often at first, were able to make visible progress thanks to the skating aids. By the end of the day, almost everyone was skating very confidently and was thrilled with their newly acquired skill.
