Students in Year 1 and 2 were introduced to a story that they were already very familiar with in English – The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The German version of this book allowed us to explore a whole range of vocabulary including colours, numbers, food and days of the week. We also sung along to the music version of the book. Students were introduced to the concept of the three forms of the word ‘the’ – der, die, das by identifying the nouns and their articles (form of the word the). As you can see from the photos, Miss Pinkster’s class are very proud of their Schmetterling (butterfly) which they made and were able to describe using simple German sentences. These are hanging in our German room.
