In Germany, children often receive a huge cone filled with gifts on their first day of school! These are called, ‘Schultütes’ or school cones.

This week our Reception children are decorating their own mini Schultüte (an origami cone made by Frau Smith) and then receiving some German gifts to take home and enjoy!

Each student will take home a ruler with ‘Ich Liebe Deutsch’ written on it (I love German), a bookmark with the same writing, an eraser with ‘Guten Tag’ written on it (hello), 2 German stickers and a pencil with ‘Gut Gemacht’ on it (well done).

Here are some pictures of our Reception children decorating their Schultütes and playing a fun new fly swat game to finish the lesson off!
