Nieuwe Website
Perhaps you have already seen it, but if not it’s worth taking a look at our excellent new website. We will be
adding new content in the near future. We’re planning an English version alongside the Dutch version and we’d
like to ask for volunteers to help with translation. If you can help please send an email to:

Groep 7-8 Workshops
After the autumn break (herfstvakantie), workshops for pupils who are looking for an extra challenge will begin.
The teacher and internal tutor (Intern Begeleider) will assess which pupils from groups 7 and 8 will attend them.
The workshops will be given by various parents and the sister of one of our pupils. The choice this year is
between: Spanish, Maths, Greek Mythology and Chinese. There will also be a short workshop on meteorology.
This year there are lots of pupils that we would like to offer a workshop to and it would be great if we could add
more workshops. In the past we had Philosophy and we’re hoping that someone can step in and provide this
again ? Other ideas are also welcome, e.g. Creative Writing (Creatief met Taal), Italian, drama etc. Whoever would
like to give a workshop can let the teacher know or contact Ina Harinck. We’re hoping for lots of offers !
Groep 5-6 Techniek en Wetenschap
IIn November the theme for groups 5 and 6 is “Science and Technology” (Techniek en
Wetenschap). We’ll be doing lots of fun experiments and tests in class, including using
the ‘techniekdozen’ (technology kits) from the ‘techniektorens’ in the aula. We will
also present a difficult (physics) problem in the aula that the children will have to solve
in the class using experiments. The theme concludes on Friday the 28th November
and when bringing the children to school on that day, the parents are invited to come
to the class and marvel at what has been learned. If any parents would like to come
and tell something about Science and Technology or do an experiment with the kids,
we’d love to hear !
Groep 3-4 Theatervoorstelling ‘Konijn gezocht’
The pupils from groups 3 and 4 will see the play ‘Konijn
gezocht’ in the week starting on the 10th November. The
performance will take place at school and is organised by
Werkgroep Kijk|Kunst Oegstgeest. Before and after the
performance the pupils will work on activities related to the
play. We’re already looking forward to it !
Groep 3-4 Herfstwandeling
On Friday 17th October, before the autumn break, all
group 3 and 4 pupils went to the Oud Poelgeest park. The
weather was excellent and each group took a Bingo card
to tick off objects of interest in the woods. For example, a
maple leaf, an acorn, a mushroom and a spider. We also
collected lots of leaves etc. to bring back and discuss. It
was a fun and educational outing. Many thanks to all
parents who came along to help !
Groep 1-2 Herfst
In groups 1 and 2 we’re working on the theme “Autumn”. This is a theme that
reflects the experiences of the children as they see the natural world change
around them. The pupils have been asked to bring in things related to the theme
that they have at home or that they have found themselves. The teacher will use
the collected objects to discuss the theme in an engaging and personal way. The
aims of this theme are as follows:
1. The children learn why leaves fall in autumn and that leaves come in a variety
of shapes and sizes.
2. The children learn the names of 3 types of mushroom.
3. The children learn that fruits ripen in autumn and learn the names of various
fruits.
4. The children learn that the weather changes in autumn.
5. The children learn that mushrooms can be poisonous and learn technical terms
related to mushrooms: spores (sporen), gills (plaatjes), stalk (steel), cap (hoed).
Before the autumn break we went for an autumn
walk (herfstwandeling). The children went in small
groups to identify places in the woods that
appeared in a set of photos and came across
different types of mushroom, leaf and fruit. It was
wonderful weather and we had a fun and
educational day.
