Ein gutes Jahr!

I would like to say a big well done to all my classes this year. I have been really pleased with the effort you have put into your lessons and I hope that you have enjoyed learning German this year.

Year 9
Even if you are not carrying on with a language next year, you have learnt lots of useful language and some great life skills. Don't forget that these skills will come in handy if you decide to take up another language later on- maybe at Sixth Form. I wish you all the best for your future studies. Of course, I will still be teaching some of you next year if you have opted for German. Don't forget to check out the KS4 blog- Spitze!

Have a good summer and come back relaxed and ready to learn!
In September there will be more blog competitions, games, info and even a new blog name!

Bis bald!

Ein, aus, ein, aus

Man macht das Hokey-Kokey und man dreht sich herum
Das ist die ganze Sache

Knie gebeugt, Arme gestreckt
Ra, ra, ra"
