German Poetry Competition

On Wednesday, 20th July, students in Levels 4 – 6 were invited to recite a German poem to Frau Lindner and Frau Taylor at lunch time in the German room, in order to take part in the AGTV German Poetry Competition.

Only three students from each year level (4 – 6) are able to represent Rangeview PS at the Regional Final, which will be held later in Term 3.

We were delighted with the poetry recitations by all students and the effort they put into learning a poem of their choice. These students all received a certificate and prize at the senior school assembly on Monday. Fantastisch, Kinder!

Congratulations to the following students, who will now go on to represent Rangeview at the regional final:

Level 4:

Summer (4C)
Elise (4C)
Frank (4C)

Level 5:

Jolie (5/6T)
Molly (5/6M)
Josephine (5/6G)

Level 6:

Siddharth (5/6C)
Will (5/6G)
Matilda (5/6C)

We wish these students all the best in preparing for this special event.

Viel Glück und Erfolg! (Good luck and success!)

DID YOU KNOW?

By our German Captain, Tilly

The population of Germany is 84.34 million, which is the third-largest in Europe.

German is the most popular third language that’s taught in the world.

German has a unique letter that’s not used in any other language, the ß, called "Eszett" which is pronounced like a double-s.

Viel Spaß und Vergnügen!

Should you have any queries about how to best support your child’s German language development, we would love to hear from you.
