Grade 1s at the Deutsche Internationale Schule Johannesburg in Parktown celebrated their ‘Einschulungsfeier’ (enrolment ceremony) recently.
Vice-principal at the primary school Lisa Vosters explained the ritual, “When children enter primary school, there is a special ceremony. Each child receives a special cone with school goodies and treats to remember their entrance into their special school career.”
“The cone is called a ‘Zuckertüte’ [sugar bag] and this symbolises the start of school. These cones are made by the children in school and packed by the teachers.”
Vosters said that Grade 4 children also prepare a theatre piece with songs and text to explain some kind of aspect of learning as part of the introduction.
