Hi everyone,

Welcome to our German class for Term 1! I hope everyone had a wonderfully recharging school break and are ready to start a new year!

My name is Frau Daughtry and I will be taking the classes for German this term while Frau Westermann has leave.

I was previously teaching in the Middle Learning Community, but have been off on maternity/parenting leave after having my son Jack. I am really enjoying teaching German and hope your children are coming home with some new words!

So far this term:

BLC:

BLC began looking at basic greetings such as ‘guten morgen’, ‘hallo’, ‘guten tag’ and ‘auf wiedersehen’.

They are now inquiring into families (meine Familie) and learning how to say mum, dad, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa and even some pets!

JLC:

JLC began with a greetings unit, which involved practising a basic greetings dialogue with a partner.

They are now learning about meine Familie and are creating a family tree poster which they will present to class, in German!

MLC & SLC:

MLCs and SLC began by recapping greetings, working through a two person dialogue which involved asking someone’s name and how they are.

They are now creating a Keynote all about themselves, which includes emotions, information about their personalities and later some ways to communicate this with others.

 

Later in the term all classes will be doing an Easter topic, particularly looking into how our family and German cultures celebrate.

Make sure to quiz your child/ren on some of these topics!!

 

Warm regards,

Frau Daughtry
