The end of the school year is a perfect time for another big sport highlight. 5th-8th graders participated in a "Fussballturnier" at McMurray Field. Each class could send a team to compete against the other classes. In preparation for this, shirts were made, banners painted and last, but not least, skills and tactics practiced in our PE lessons. 6A planned, prepared and ran the event with Tanja Schmitt and Matthias Schmidt as an event management project. Large efforts were spent on planning the match, concession stand, first aid stand, musical entertainment and announcements, decorations, etc.

In between spectacular games we could also cheer at students who signed up for show elements. Some 6B girls decided to interpret one of Herr Kochs songs in a dance. Another student (6B) had written her own song and sang it for us accompanied by her own dance choreography. Three fifth graders surprised the spectators with a high level gymnastics show.

In the end, eighth grade tied with 6A and won the tournament with the most points. Soon, these kids will leave TCGIS, but we'll get to keep a trophy in their memory in our trophy case! As with the Streetball tournament, the day ended with the winning student team playing the teachers and interns. Well, obviously TCGIS teachers don't only speak German well, but also know how to kick the ball like the Germans! Click images to enlarge.
