We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about our recent primary outreach program at Middlemarch Primary School. 

Our very own Miss Greenhalgh has been busy delivering a series of engaging and educational sessions to the Year 6 students, preparing them for a “trip” to Germany. Over the past few weeks, the pupils have immersed themselves in various activities designed to enhance their learning experience. They learned how to order tickets using their number skills, which not only improved their mathematical abilities but also introduced them to real-life scenarios in a foreign country. 

The sessions included practical lessons on what to pack for a trip, ensuring they are well-prepared and organised. One of the highlights of the program was the visit to a zoo lesson and our session on a restaurant in Germany. The pupils learned the German names for different animals and food items, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. To encourage speaking in German, the students collected stamps in their “passports” for each time they used the language, which motivated them to practice and improve their skills.

The feedback from the Year 6 pupils has been overwhelmingly positive. They expressed how much they loved the sessions, particularly enjoying learning the German words for animals, food, and, of course, the infamous Schnappi das kleine Krokodil song! This program has not only equipped them with valuable language skills but also sparked excitement for their continued journey at Etone in September. We are incredibly proud of Miss Greenhalgh’s efforts and the enthusiasm shown by the Middlemarch Primary pupils. This outreach initiative has not only fostered a love for learning but also built a strong foundation for their future education at our high school. We can’t wait to welcome these bright and eager students to Etone in the new academic year.
