First day of school - Grade 1 - Zara

It was a big day yesterday. The school put on quite a performance for the new Grade One'ers. The parents were assembled on one side of the piazza watching as the Grade 2-4 kids were on the other side and sang the school song and put on a few performance numbers. The names of the Grade 1 kids were read out and each was invited to receive a sunflower from their new teacher, then proceed with the teacher down to their new classroom. After an hour or so the parents were allowed to enter the classroom. Zara is carrying a cone called a schultüte - a gift from the parents - a long held German tradition containing some school supplies, sweets and surprises.
