Chess and Coffee Afternoon
On 5 December, families, including siblings and grandparents, joined the school for a Chess and Coffee Afternoon, creating a calm setting for intergenerational play.
The games showed that in chess, where strategy and concentration are central, age is not decisive. Several younger players demonstrated strong tactical skills and defeated adult opponents.
The event highlighted the educational value of chess as an activity that develops critical thinking and decision-making beyond recreational computer use. Due to its success, the Chess and Coffee Afternoon will become a regular event in the school calendar.
Primary 5 and 6
Candle Making
On the 12th of December, classes 5 and 6 made a trip to Aarau to make candles. The classes had a wonderful time creating their candles and spending some quality time together before the holidays.

Astérix et Obélix
« César s’est transformé en grenouille. La fin. » (César verwandelte sich in einen Frosch. Das Ende)
Seit über vier Wochen tauchen die Sechstklässler in unser alljährliches Thema «Astérix et Obélix – Mission Cléopâtre» ein. Auf Grundlage ihres bisher erworbenen Wissens zu den Zahlen bis 500, Verben (être und avoir), Präpositionen und Fragesätzen entwickelten sie ein eigenes Skript, das sich kreativ am Comic und Film orientierte. Die daraus entstandenen Szenen sprühten vor Einfallsreichtum: liebevoll gebastelte Kostüme, überraschende Requisiten und witzige Dialoge.
Als die Klassen ihre Stücke schliesslich vor der ganzen Schule aufführten, war die Begeisterung riesig – begleitet von viel Applaus und noch mehr Gelächter.
