They had to wait one and a half weeks. Now the flower boxes have arrived at the main square. Now they hope, that residents will help them to survive giving them some water every day.

Der Vorstand der Stiftung Warentest, Hubertus Primus, zeigte sich begeistert vom Eifer der Schülereinsendungen: „Oft kommen die Jugendlichen zu wirklich erstaunlichen Erkenntnissen.“ So erwähnte er speziell auch den zweiten Beitrag der Schlossbergschule (Klasse 9Ma) wegen ihrer kreativen Testideen. Diese hatte unter anderem Fallversuche mit Schoko-Nikoläusen durchgeführt, um deren Belastbarkeit zu testen.

Class 9Mb has won 1000 Euro in a testing competition.

The fist flower boxes have found adoptive parents meanwhile. Two of them found a new home infront of the museum, two others at the entrance of the Mutterturm (Mothertower).  Their brothers and sisters have to wait some more weeks till they can move to the city center.

Two 9th forms of our school had participated in this years’s round of “Jugend testet (Youngsters are testing)”. One of them had proved christmas sweets. The other one had tested childrens playgrounds in urban area. Very enthusiastic they now heard, that they were chosen into the last three groups wich have dealed with the supply of services. Two students with their class teacher are invited to come to Berlin, to receive their price there. We are very proud of them, whatever the colour of the medal will be.

Students of almost all classes participated in the decoration of collecting boxes. These will be placed in the shops of Landsberg and are waiting to be filled, to support the restauration of the Mutterturm (Mother tower) built by Hubert von Herkomer.

Almost 600 students from for 5th to 10th form of both Landsbergian middleschools participated in a “Run for Help” to help people with multiple sclerosis and their families. after two hours (one for elder and one for younger students) we reached the enormous amount of more than 7100 rounds, that is more than 2800 kilometers. If all sponsers keep their promises we will be able to make a donation of more than 10000 Euro. Thanks to all helpers who have made this success possible!

The information truck of the metal and electric industry visited our school. The students of the higher classes could inform themselves about jobs and activities.

Spring is coming and our students were again invited to participate in the traditional project “Clean environment”. The work was successful, Several trash bags could be filled after some hours of collecting. And the work filled up the cash boxes of the participatung classes.

Benefited by good watering especially caused by heavy rainfalls during the last days and several sunny hours with comfortable temeperatures our flowers have developed very well. So it was time for panting vegetables. Some potatoes were “hidden”, our artificial beck was reactivated, the remainings of winter in the bed of herbage were removed and the first sunlowers could leave the greenhouse- in our case the chemistry lab. They hope now for longer springtime temperatures.

Hard working mothers prepared again a healthy snack for school break. Thanks for this commitment for students and teachers! Nothing remained on the tables. Obviously all had been were very pleased about the food.

10 Students of the gardening group of our school planted more than 700 early blooming plants on the area beside of our school. It was really a good job.

On 12.4. the 5th and 6th formers could follow a performance of the fastfood theatre Munich. The actors impressed with a lot of humor and creativity spending almost two hours with improvisation. It was a great event for all students.

After a long and cold winter the gardening season has begun. That means first of all a lot of work. The beds beside our school have to be reactivated. Thee beds are dug meanwhile. Next week compost will be spread. Hopefully there will be higher temperatures now, what allow to start planting soon.

On 9th and 10th of April all students had the possibility to learn about multiple sclerosis. A woman concerned with the illness told about her daily live and her difficulties with simple activities. Afterward the students could try out themselves, how it feels to be handicapped. The aim of the presentation was to develop a better understanding for people with disability.

In an exciting workshop students of form 5 and 6 were encouraged to make the sound for some sequences of the movie “Tom und Hacke” themselves, a film which they had seen a week before. By the way they learned a lot about the illusion wich is worked with in the film industry. Here you find a film about the leader of the workshop – unfortunately only in German).

As it was very cold in the entrance hall of our school, a fly break was built (intime for the start of spring). Students of the 5th form adapted the new white walls to the former medieval style.
