Become a strong community with “Lions Quest“ and “Socrates fit and strong plus 2“
We have had good experiences with the programmes Lions Quest (https://www.lions-quest.de) and Sokrates fit and strong plus 2 (https://ifa-ggmbh.de/sokrates/) for years the class management of the fifth grade use the programmes on the first days after school enrollment and later in everyday school life in the class teacher lesson to make it easier for the children to arrive at the AVS and to get to know their new classmates, who come from many different elementary schools
The focus of the class teacher lesson, which takes place once a week, is the targeted and planned promotion of the social skills of our pupils.
Also delivered by using the Lions Quest and Socrates pedagogical materials mentioned above, this lesson will support students to increase their self-confidence and communication skills, build and maintain contacts and positive relationships, deal appropriately with conflicts and risky situations in their daily lives meet and find constructive solutions to problems.
Studentgodparents for younger pupils
There has been a mentoring project at the AVS since 2010, in which fifth grade students receive support and help with minor and major problems from selected ninth grade students.
The guidance itself begins with the introductory days for our new pupils in year five, during which the godparents support the new 5th graders as coaches in the building and on the way to school and give all sorts of tips and assistance so that everyone can quickly settle in and feel good.
The guidance is then continued and intensified over the course of the school year, for example in a workshop led by the godparents on the use of mobile phones and other media.
In addition, the godparents support the children in selected lessons, during breaks or at parties and excursions and sometimes also when there are things to be clarified outside of school.
The respective student godparents are well prepared by Ms. Kriech for their responsible task.
A three-to four-day class trip four year five takes place in spring. The destination is somewhere in Schleswig-Holstein.
The school trip, the Christmas bazaar as well as various theater performances and other activities (e.g. author readings and the “glow in the dark” competition) also contribute to a positive atmosphere and strengthen the class community.
