KIBS by airmail

Our first and fifth graders are happy about the replies to their airmail. Greetings, attached to ballons, that were sent by them on their first day in school flew far across the country. Families in Wietzendorf in the Lüneburger Heide wished them luck. So did families from Klötze in Altmarkkreis Salzwedel and from Peine and Lehrte in the South-East of Hannover.

First School day

Poems were recited by Grade 4 pupils, a welcome song was sung by Grade 3 and 4 pupils and a Circus Skills demonstration given by children who attend the school’s Circus Club. Then senior pupils welcomed them to KIBS with a fresh sunflower to make it an unforgettable day. Following a visit to their new class rooms, the school starters launched balloons with their names written on the attached Finders Cards.

The new girls and boys in Grade 5 had a lot of fun together with numerous guests. The highlight of the programme was the planting of a Gingko Tree. Its characteristic is robustness. A goal that all the pupils want to achieve with commitment to school and hard work.
