Visit to Deutsche Schule Tokyo Yokohama
Many thanks to our school board representatives and German teaching faculty for going up to the Deutsche Schule Tokyo Yokohama and meeting with their team. It was a great connection to share what we are doing in our schools and how we can support each other, strengthening our German language programme offering. We look forward to hosting them here at DSKI!
St Nicholas
6th December
2.45pm - 3.30pm St Nicholas Concert
Known for his generosity and gift-giving, Saint Nicholas was a legendary historic figure who inspired the modern-day Santa Claus. In many European countries, including Germany, the life of St. Nicholas is celebrated with gift-giving, feasts, and parades.
To honor a traditional German Feast of St. Nicholas, students will receive a couple very special gifts. In the spirit of St. Nicholas, who traditionally left treats such as fruits and snacks in children’s shoes on the morning of December 6th, students will be given mikans (tangerines) provided by the PTA.
Then to conclude the school day, students will enjoy the gift of music with a festive holiday concert featuring traditional songs performed by members of the DSKI community: Phillip Strange on piano, Ryo Hatakeyama on bass, and Von Baron on drums.
Interested parents are welcome to join the audience in the multipurpose room.
