In a newspaper editorial meeting, we started to discuss the things adults sometimes do which kids really don’t like. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the children came up with quite a few situations which totally drive them nuts!
A short explanatory video seemed like a good idea, so here are the kids’ top two peeves, acted, filmed and edited by the IMS News team members.
Parents, guardians, teachers and anyone else in the vicinity of kids: take note!
The 4-6 kids have spent several weeks exploring the theme of ‘Stoff in Alltag’ (everyday materials) and, as a final project, the children set about producing their very own clothing, decorative items and other objects from recycled materials.
The teachers presented the kids with a variety of cool suggestions to choose from, or invited them to come up with their own ideas.
Textile crafts were a particularly popular option, with cushions, bags and even entirely new fashions created from old clothes and remnants of fabric.
Some of the kids made papier–mâché from recycled paper and cardboard, then used it to produce a range of beautiful items.
Others had even more unique ideas, such as turning a shoe box into a tabletop football game.
It just goes to show what amazing things can be done with everyday materials and plenty of imagination!
At IMS, we’re surrounded by nature. Not only is the forest right on our doorstep, we’re also a few minutes’ walk from Wannsee lake, which we love to visit in summer.
In addition, we have our very own garden – the so-called Ruhe Garten, or ‘quiet garden’ – where we do schoolwork or projects, have picnics, take part in gardening or simply relax.
Aurelia has prepared a video introduction to this wonderful outdoor space.
Many of the kids love the online platform Roblox, so IMS News decided to find out more about it.
We asked fan and expert Leonard to give us an insight into this latest global craze ….
Roblox is a big platform – in other words, it is one of the most popular video games in the whole world. There are an incredible number of people in Roblox with about 500 million players.
Instead of just playing games you can also create games on your own. You can Script. You can use “tools” so you can put objects and stuff like that and then you can script the objects and Dummies.
(Dummies are automatic robots.)
This is what the Roblox logo looks like:
Platforms that you can play Roblox on are Microsoft Windows, Android, Xbox One, iOS, Mac OS, Fire OS.
The developers who created it are David Bazuki and Eric Cassel.
Date when it was published: 24. June. 2006
Roblox earned in a year 920 Million US-Dollars.
So the reason I like Roblox is because it’s a platform where everyone can play. What I also like about Roblox is that you can create your own game and scripts. I like that you can play games and explore new worlds. The only thing that I don’t like is you need to pay real money if you want robux.
(Robux is like money but it’s digital. You can also buy game passes, clothes, T-shirts, pants and also accessories with your robux.)

Now that the warmer weather has arrived, we’re again able to use our beautiful private garden. Last week, the level 4 kids visited to search for insects as part of Frau Dunzer’s Sachunterricht class.
Everyone was surprised by the sheer number of creepy-crawlies discovered: from worms and centipedes to beetles and butterflies. The kids carefully examined the insects under a magnifying glass, then put them back where they had found them.
But the most spectacular discovery was made later, in the playground itself.
Here, Gabriel from Year 5 found a magnificent Nashornkäfer (rhinocerous beetle), one of the biggest beetles of all. And just as you’d expect from its name, it had a very large horn jutting from the top of its head.
Everyone was really impressed, and at first we thought it was a very rare find indeed.
In fact, it turns out that the Nashornkäfer is relatively common, and loves to live in woodland areas with lots of old tree stumps, which is why the foresty edge of our playground provides it with the perfect habitat.
Still, these beetles are nocturnal insects, so it was definitely an unusual and exciting discovery. I wonder what other strange and wonderful creatures the kids will come across next?
