McKenna pitches in to get the ball rolling<br />
With the vanishing snow and<br />
one or two early signs of<br />
spring in the air, we took the<br />
opportunity to officially<br />
open the new all weather<br />
sports pitch – it was a grand<br />
opening indeed.<br />
We would like to express our<br />
sincere gratitude to Mrs<br />
Horton and Mr Kevin<br />
McKenna who undertook<br />
the opening ceremony. A<br />
ribbon, two pairs of scissors,<br />
a collection of Press representatives<br />
and an enthusiastic<br />
group of pupils made the<br />
occasion one to remember.<br />
We were most fortunate<br />
that Mr McKenna was able<br />
to join us during his hectic<br />
training schedule as a senior<br />
member of the 1. FC Köln<br />
Football Team and International<br />
player representing<br />
Canada. Following a brief<br />
game of football with our<br />
pupils Mr McKenna took the<br />
time to talk to our most enthusiastic<br />
footballers concerning<br />
life in professional<br />
sports; they will certainly<br />
remember this day for some<br />
time to come.<br />
This investment in such a<br />
wonderful resource will<br />
ensure that our pupils are<br />
able to hone their football<br />
and hockey skills to a truly<br />
competitive level; go team<br />
<strong>St</strong>. George’s!<br />
Dear <strong>St</strong> George’s,<br />
Welcome back after the<br />
break, we hope that you<br />
all enjoyed a well earned<br />
rest! The past two school<br />
weeks certainly have<br />
been busy ones. In the<br />
week before half-term, the school<br />
was gripped by carnival fever. As<br />
you can see from all the pictures in<br />
this edition, on Karneval day the<br />
school was invaded by a host of pirates,<br />
princesses, superheroes and<br />
sorcerers to mention just a few. We<br />
were also pleased to welcome the<br />
Rondorfer Dreigestirn into school,<br />
who gave a very entertaining presentation<br />
to pupils in Early Years and<br />
Lower <strong>School</strong>. Fortunately they<br />
kindly agreed to speak German and<br />
not Kölsch, so that we all stood some<br />
chance of understanding what they<br />
were actually saying!<br />
Karneval was not the only opportunity<br />
to dress up recently. Year 5<br />
turned back time for the day as a part<br />
of their Victorian project and turned<br />
<strong>St</strong> George’s into a Victorian primary<br />
school, with pupils and teachers in<br />
typical Victorian dress. This was a<br />
memorable experience for our pupils,<br />
who certainly enjoyed the opportunity<br />
to see history brought to<br />
life. From the sounds of things, they<br />
were also pleased when things returned<br />
to normal too!<br />
The snowy weather before half-term<br />
did not stop the Caterpillars making<br />
the most of their outdoor play area. It<br />
also provided them with an ideal<br />
opportunity to learn about keeping<br />

healthy in the cold weather. Judging<br />
from the pictures they all enjoyed<br />
the different fruits and vegetables<br />
they got to try.<br />
Fortunately the icy weather seems to<br />
have past, which means we can now<br />
start to make full use of our new outdoor<br />
facilities. The Sports Pitch is<br />
now in constant use, not only for<br />
Sports lessons, but also during<br />
break times, when pupils in Lower,<br />
Middle and Upper <strong>School</strong> get the<br />
opportunity to use it for their own<br />
games of football. Of course this is<br />
not the only sport the pitch is intended<br />
for, but it seems to be by far<br />
the most popular! Given this, we<br />
were pleased to welcome Kevin<br />
McKenna of 1. FC Köln to participate<br />
in the official opening of the pitch<br />
last week.<br />
The coming two weeks will be as<br />
ever busy ones. Next week, the<br />
school will be participating in<br />
events to celebrate World Maths<br />
Day, along with thousands of other<br />
schools worldwide. Also don’t miss<br />
our Musical Evening on Wednesday<br />
10 th March in the Conference Room,<br />
where pupils from Middle and Upper<br />
<strong>School</strong> will get an opportunity to<br />
demonstrate their talents.<br />
Wishing you a relaxing weekend,<br />

As it was Karneval last week, the Ladybirds<br />
enjoyed a very traditional celebration. we<br />
dressed up as our favourite characters, danced<br />
and sang along to Koelsch songs and ended<br />
the day with an ENORMOUS, yummy feast!<br />
We are already counting down the days 'til<br />
next year's Karneval.<br />
Ladybirds Alaaf !<br />
The very hungry caterpillars were enjoying the snowy weather outside.<br />
Wrapped up in coats, winter boots, gloves, hats and scarf out they went<br />
in to the cold weather outside enjoying the fluffy white snow! And what<br />
can we do to be healthy in this cold weather!!! What did the very hungry<br />
caterpillar in the story do while she was growing? The very hungry caterpillar<br />
was eating lots of healthy food!!! Like the very caterpillars in the<br />

kinds of fruit and vegetables and the children were able to<br />
create their own favorite fruit with papier-mâché!<br />
And what is more fun then just talking about it?? Of course, EAT-<br />
ING IT ☺ We have been enjoying a juicy fruit salad with bananas,<br />
apples, kiwis, grapes and oranges !

In Year 5 this term we have been studying<br />
the Victorians. We have been learning<br />
about Queen Victoria, the workhouse,<br />
school life and how rich and poor people<br />
lived. To truly appreciate how Victorian<br />
schoolchildren lived we had a Victorian<br />
day. To make the day more authentic, everyone<br />
had to dress like a Victorian, including<br />
the teachers! Victorian schools were<br />
stricter than schools today, and there were<br />
many punishments for misbehaving. Some<br />
children had to wear the dunce’s cap and<br />
stand in the corner, and others had to<br />
kneel with their hands behind their head<br />
facing the wall. In Victorian schools a<br />
severe punishment was to receive a caning,<br />
so the children would work in silence and<br />
try not to do anything wrong! Our Victo-<br />
Lauryn, Laura, Heidi, Alex, Tarek, Denise, Moritz, Jenna, Fabienne,<br />
Ewa, Paul<br />
rian day involved a hymn practice in the morning,<br />
where we sang ‘All things bright and beautiful’ and<br />
an exercise drill outside. After a short break, the children<br />
learnt about old money, which consisted of<br />
pounds, shillings and pence and a brief science lesson,<br />
where they had to analyse and draw the inside of<br />
an apple. The final lesson of the day was one of the<br />
most important in Victorian schools; handwriting.<br />
The children had to copy out the alphabet multiple<br />
times as neat as possible, and if it wasn’t neat enough<br />
they would repeat it again until the teacher was perfectly<br />
happy with it. The children thoroughly enjoyed<br />
the whole day, and are glad that everything is back to<br />
normal!<br />
Victorian Day
If you recently<br />
bought<br />
books at<br />
the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
George’s<br />
<strong>School</strong><br />
Book Fair<br />
from Mr.<br />
<strong>St</strong>anford,<br />
your purchases<br />
also<br />
supported<br />
the Library.<br />
As we have<br />
done in the<br />
Lower <strong>School</strong> says “Thank You” for stacks<br />
of new books from Book Fair commission<br />
last three years, the Book Fair commission was immediately reinvested<br />
into new reading material, especially targeting Lower<br />
<strong>School</strong> pupils. We were able to substantially enlarge our “Usborne<br />
Young Reading” series – a very popular series among pupils from<br />
Year 3 – Year 5, helping children to improve their reading and literacy<br />
skills as well as broadening their knowledge. Moreover, interesting<br />
new reference books as well as a variety of leisure reading<br />
and top-ups of the ever-popular “Horrid Henry” and “Captain Underpants”<br />
series have the children of Ms. Lawrie’s Year 4 very excited!<br />
So, a big Thank You to all who, by fostering their own children’s<br />
reading skills through buying from the Book Fair, are also<br />
helping an even larger number of pupils to improve theirs!<br />

Since the book series – now already up to its 5 th volume<br />
- is enjoying immense success, it was of course only a<br />
matter of time until a movie-version would hit the big<br />
screen. “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief”<br />
opened in Germany on February 11 th . For all those not<br />
yet familiar with the plot, here’s a short synopsis: Percy<br />
Jackson, dyslexic hothead, just had to change schools –<br />
again! But something strange is going on - the gods of<br />
Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have suddenly<br />
walked out of the pages of his Greek mythology texts<br />
and into his life. And they're not happy. Zeus' lightning<br />
bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.<br />
Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of<br />
Percy's mother. As Percy adapts to his newly discovered<br />
status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he<br />
finds himself caught between the battling titans of<br />
Mount Olympus. He and his friends embark on a cross-<br />
country adventure to catch the true<br />
lightning thief, save Percy's mom,<br />
and unravel a mystery more powerful<br />
than the gods themselves.<br />
Directed by “Harry Potter and the<br />
Chamber of Secrets” director Chris<br />
Columbus, this is a fast paced actionmovie<br />
for teens from the age 12+.<br />
Seasoned with some silliness and<br />
humour, this is an ideal family-movie<br />
– and if you would like to know what<br />
Percy did next, you can always visit<br />
the Library and pick up one of the<br />
follow-up volumes!<br />
1. Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail 2. Dr. Seuss 3. Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraim's Daughter Longstocking 4. “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding<br />
(Nobel Prize 1983) 5. Apartheid and Racism; people with black skin (Crosses) are dominant over the white people (Noughts)<br />
Isha’s Insight, February 26th 2010<br />
Isha's book rating: 5/5<br />
Hairy Maclary is a dog (who is very fun loving<br />
and mischievous) and the star of this book series.<br />
He is a little prankster, who usually gets<br />
himself into trouble with the ferocious cat, Scarface<br />
Claw. Well actually, Hairy Maclary is not<br />
just about one dog, it’s about all his doggie<br />
friends from the neighborhood!! If Schnitzel Von<br />
Krumm(with a very low tummy), Muffin Maclay<br />
(like a bundle of hay) and Blitzer Malony (all skinny and bony) sound<br />
interesting to you, then you won’t be disappointed reading about all of<br />
them.<br />
There are fifteen Hairy Maclary books and some more in the Slinki Malinki<br />
series, which is about a real thin and black cat and his cat friends.<br />
I was introduced to the Hairy Maclary books at the age of 3 on a trip to<br />
New Zealand and since then it’s been an addiction (and a family favorite)<br />
and now I enjoy reading it to my little sister. If you are feeling down<br />
in the dumps, you might want to consider reading a Hairy Maclary<br />
story to feel better (I‘m not sure, but at least you can try. It works for me<br />
and so it could for you!) These<br />
books are written in rhymes like,<br />
‘Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s<br />
Dairy’.<br />
You can also learn loads of new vocabulary<br />
from these short stories -<br />
words such as bumptious, cantankerous,<br />
frisky and many more that<br />
we don’t see very often.<br />
Illustrated by Korean artist Young Kim with<br />
input from Meyer on every panel, the first volume<br />
of Twilight: the Graphic Novel will be<br />
published on 16 th March. Its publisher said the<br />
black and white title, with colour interspersedl<br />
Exciting news for teens - ‘Twilight’ The Graphic Novel’ and<br />
move over Harry Potter - Here comes Percy Jackson !<br />
throughout, would combine "a rare fusion of<br />
Asian and western comic techniques". Mayer<br />
herself said that Kim's graphic interpretation of<br />
her characters and settings was "very close" to<br />
what she was imagining while writing the series.<br />
"It takes me back to the days when I was<br />
writing Twilight." And there were some more<br />
uplifting news for her fans: "I can't say that I<br />
am done with Twilight forever. I'm not working<br />
on anything new Twilight-related now,<br />
and probably not for a while. But there's still<br />
a possibility that I'll go back and close some<br />
of the open doors," Mayer was quoted in a<br />
recent interview.
A breeze of a project<br />
An anemometer is a wind speed<br />
measuring device, derived from the<br />
Greek word “anemos”, meaning<br />
wind. Some anemometers measure<br />
the strength of the wind<br />
only, but others can also<br />
detect the pressure of the<br />
wind.<br />
The most popular type of<br />
anemometer is the standard<br />
“cup-style” anemometer<br />
in which wind<br />
movement is caught in the<br />
revolving cups, and registers wind<br />
strength. Our own Weather Wullie<br />
weather station uses the cup method.<br />
However there are other types of<br />
anemometer that can be used:<br />
Windmill anemometers which use<br />
rotating blades, rather like the tail<br />
fin of a helicopter.<br />
Heated element anemometers which<br />
raise the temperature of a wire and<br />
IB pupil Yannic<br />
has taken inspiration<br />
for his wire<br />
trees from the<br />
artist Sal Villano.<br />
The twisting of the<br />
wire is very tedious<br />
and takes a<br />
long time to create<br />
the final piece.<br />
Using Quartz to<br />
represent the<br />
leaves added a<br />
surrealistic effect.<br />
Art<br />
Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
use the wind chill factor to record<br />
strength.<br />
Laser anemometers use a laser<br />
beam to detect movement<br />
of air particles, in<br />
other words wind.<br />
Sonar anemometers use<br />
sonic waves to measure<br />
movement of air be<br />
measuring the difference<br />
between pulses of ultrasonic<br />
sound between two points.<br />
A simple but very effective method<br />
is to use a ping-pong ball on a<br />
string to detect air flow. Surprisingly,<br />
this was allegedly actually<br />
adopted by astronauts visiting<br />
Mars to measure any wind there<br />
during the NASA 2008 Phoenix<br />
mission!<br />
We shall be testing some of our<br />
Readathon Raises the Roof !<br />
Pupils in Years 7 and 8 have<br />
been sharing their love of reading<br />
by taking part in a sponsored<br />
Readathon. The event,<br />
which took place just before<br />
Christmas, saw pupils being<br />
transformed into bookworms as<br />
friends and family sponsored<br />
them to read as many books as<br />
they could in a week.<br />
Pupils were encouraged to<br />
read at home and in class and<br />
recommended their favourite<br />
books to their classmates.<br />
Popular choices included the<br />
Twilight series and Jacqueline<br />
Wilson books among the girls,<br />
while many boys found it hard<br />
to put down Anthony Horowitz<br />
books and the Artemis Fowl<br />
pupils’ machines once the<br />
weather improves and calculating<br />
the wind speed alongside<br />
Weather Wullie’s measurements.<br />
Our pupils can only use the<br />
material available to them of<br />
course; however they did a<br />
sterling job with paper cups,<br />
Having now completed a full year in our<br />
new location in Rondorf, we have, over this<br />
time trebled in number and hopefully will<br />
continue to do so.<br />
The House is generally, a very<br />
relaxed environment. We do<br />
however; have rules, guidelines<br />
and timings that need to be observed.<br />
This is purely for the<br />
safety, security and wellbeing of the young<br />
people under our care.<br />
We have tried to create a ‘homely atmosphere’<br />
having a communal common area<br />
where Boarders can relax during their free<br />
time. This is generally a low key time with<br />
Boarder’s choosing to cycle, go jogging, a<br />
Boarding<br />
series. Harry Potter and A Series<br />
of Unfortunate Events remain<br />
firm favourites for everyone!<br />
The Readathon was certainly a<br />
great success, raising a grand<br />
total of €1642. All money raised<br />
goes to the Roald Dahl Foundation<br />
and CLIC Sergeant, both of<br />
which are charities that support<br />
seriously ill children and their<br />
families.<br />
However, reading shouldn’t end<br />
with the Readathon. Hopefully<br />
the week has inspired a passion<br />
for reading in Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
and, with such a well stocked<br />
library, pupils will be spoilt for<br />
choice.<br />
By Miss Crossland<br />
pencils, blu-tac and pins. Given<br />
that NASA appeared to use the<br />
simplest method, I am sure our<br />
pupils will be proud that their<br />
labours matched the methods<br />
used by some of the cleverest<br />
scientists of our time!<br />
walk to the high street to pick up essentials,<br />
or simply to sit chatting whether it be with<br />
staff or other Boarder’s.<br />
Encouragement is given to all Boarders to<br />
involve themselves in organized<br />
activities. Many of them organize<br />
events themselves and include<br />
other members of the House.<br />
Our Sixth Form enjoy extra privileges<br />
designed to give them greater responsibility<br />
and thereby setting good examples<br />
to younger members of the House.<br />
Long may it continue to be a happy household.<br />

The week before the holidays<br />
an exciting event<br />
happened in <strong>St</strong>.<br />
George’s. The three<br />
Dreigestirn from Rodenkirchen<br />
came.<br />
The three Dreigestirn told<br />
us about Karneval and<br />
sang songs with the<br />

some precious costumes.<br />
There was a farmer, a<br />

The Early Years have been<br />
investigating new stories,<br />
writing alternative versions of<br />
fairytales and have even written<br />
their own myths and legends,<br />
all during our Literacy<br />
week. The completed stories<br />
have been shared with the<br />
Reception children with the<br />
Year 1 and 2 pupils coming to<br />
read during our story time.<br />
We had the pleasure of watching<br />
a performance of the<br />
Brothers Grimm stories the<br />
Fisherman’s wife and the Genie<br />
in the bottle by the Classic<br />

Alongside these activities all<br />
the children helped to make<br />
cakes and treats for our Literacy<br />
