Sports Survey - the German Results

It's all about sport - the new gym at the SGG

The results of the survey on sport-habits amongst the German students show us that sport plays an important role in nearly everyone’s life.

However, when it comes to the choice of a favourite sport, opinions vary a lot. Apart from individual sports like jogging, going to the gym, inline skating or going swimming, many pupils also enjoy team-sports like volleyball, football or badminton. A few also reported about their passion for dancing, horseback riding or tennis.

All students practise sport regularly because they want to get fitter and because it is fun for them. The majority prefer doing sport outside and are also a member in a sports club. Most of them work out three or four times a week. The preferences towards individual sports or team sports are fairly evenly distributed.

In Germany, pupils have PE lessons twice a week. Whereas most of them participate in these lessons regularly, a third of them does not enjoy this.

All students consider it very important to be physically active  in order to lead a healthy life. 

Nearly all of them are of the opinion that football is probably the most popular sport in Germany which is also shown on TV the most. However, only half of them watch sport on TV. If they do, they normally watch football, winter-sports like biathlon or special events like the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

Open Day at the SGG: Presentation of the Comenius Project

On the open day of our school on which pupils and teachers present the SGG to parents and new pupils, the Comenius-Project was presented, describing the activities taking place, presenting results of surveys and showing photos of the meetings that have already taken place.

MEETING EN ITALIE

From October 21st to 26th was held the second meeting of the Comenius pupils, in Teramo, Italy.The meeting in Teramo follows the one held in Germany in April. The German students were hosted by the Italian pupils who had previously gone to Germany and the Polish students were hosted by other students of our Institute. In total we had 15 guests : 7 Polish and 8 German pupils.

On Sunday 21st there were arrivals and the first meeting between students from Poland and Italian students was really nice, as it was nice meeting the German pupils again.

On Monday morning after the welcoming speech of our Principal and the explanation of the week program , we accompanied our guests to visit the city center of Teramo with some Italian pupils as guides. In the afternoon the teachers went to work on the project and the students began to compose a song, as it was expected in the activities of the project.

The visit to a local farm where the pupils were able to see both the production of olive oil and the production of cheese was very interesting. At the end of the visit each pupils received ½ liter of oil produced from the farm.

The next day the Comenius group was involved in a wonderful trip to Rome, where pupils and teachers could see the Colosseum going through the Imperial Forum, Piazza Venezia with the altar of the Fatherland, then the Trevi Fountain, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza del Popolo and Villa Borghese. Finally we walked to the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. We visited some of the most important monuments in the ancient core of the city, considering the short time available.

On Thursday morning, before the departure of the Polish group , we recorded the song. A Polish student with his guitar and his voice gave rhythm to the song and the other German, Polish and italian pupils served as a choir. By mid-morning the Polish group left accompanied by the involved students' moved greetings.

During the week the guest students, attended some lessons in class with the host pupils .

The past week along with our guests went by very quickly. It was intense, hectic and wonderfully surprising even for the manifestations of affection from the host families towards the hosted pupils.

The friendships made in Germany have become firmer and new friendships were born between Polish and Italian students. All of them have improved their use of the English language and enlarged their cultural knowledge about points in common and differences with their partners.

The group of teachers proved to be quite satisfied with the work done.

The next visit will be in Poland in April and all of our pupils are eager to meet again their comenius partners.
