Early December, traditionally in the pre-Christmas season 🎄🎅🏻 🎀, our this year’s 6th grade reading competition took place, during which after the class contests a school winner was to be crowned. All 6th grades had selected two students as the best readers of the class in November. Each reader then first reads a passage from a self-chosen book after a short book presentation, and afterwards an unfamiliar text is presented, which could not have been prepared in advance. The criteria apply both to the class and to the school decision: fluency in reading as well as the presentation of the passage and the selection of the text excerpt.

(The class winners: Maxie G. and Vincent S. 6a, Alissa N. and Niklas K. 6b, Joanna N. and Ferdinand S. 6c, Finja L. and Timo M. 6d, Annabelle S. and Liam F. 6e, Vicky H. and Tamina M. H. 6f, Carla W. and Oskar A. 6g)

After an exciting competition where everyone gave their best and the jury, consisting of Mrs. Fröhlich, Mrs. Niklowitz and the previous year’s winner Zahid M. (now 7c), had to discuss at length both the self-chosen texts and after reading the foreign text, because the choice in particular in the second decisive round was so difficult, the top three places were finally decided:

 

 

 

The third place went to Vicky H. from 6f, the second place to Niklas K. from 6b, and the school winner is Ferdinand S. from 6c! Ferdinand will participate in the district competition in February and represent our school there! Congratulations to all winners, of course also to the class winners!

Otherwise, feel free to come to our library during breaks in the Bibo, the student library in the Atrium on the 2nd floor. We have just received two new bean bags (sponsored by our school's Climate Council: many thanks!) and a new seating corner will be delivered in January.

There are also many great new books, on the one hand UNESCO topics like sustainability, gender equality, peace, etc. (this time thanks go to the UNESCO group of the school) and on the other hand many new children's and youth books, which we owe to a donation from a Hamburg publisher: Thank you and have lots of fun reading!
