We are very happy to present a leaving song for the year 6 pupils

Here is the link to the video.
The time has come to say goodbye, 
your next adventure says you‘ll fly! 
We‘ve never had two years like these, 
Corona here, set nothing at ease. 
So we have done the next best thing,
we‘ve prepared this song for you to sing! 
May your future be golden and bright, 
and always quite happy without any fright! 
So off you go, be on your way, 
good luck we wish you every day!

Song lyrics: Good-bye Yr 6 and ….     Auf das, was da noch kommt! 2021
(Text: O. J. Ehmsen, english mini part: R.Z., music: Giesinger, J.J. Schneider)

 So heißt das Projekt, welches im Rahmen des Spanischunterrichtes der Klassen 9 und 10 (bei Frau Harder) pünktlich zum Ende des Lockdowns im April begann und nun im neuen Schuljahr weitergeführt werden soll, voraussichtlich als Teil einer e-Twinning-Initiative mit folgendem Direktaustausch nach Oliva (Raum Valencia/ Spanien).

8 Schulen aus 5 europäischen Ländern (Spanien, Frankreich, Italien, Tschechische Republik, Deutschland) haben sich in diesem Projekt zusammengefunden. In einem ersten Schritt haben sich die internationalen Schüler*innen zunächst einander vorgestellt, natürlich in ihrer Fremdsprache, je nach Schule Englisch oder Spanisch, und den persönlichen Text oder das Video auf einem gemeinsamen Padlet gesammelt.

The NMS Class of 2021 have just finished their final exams under unusual circumstances. The festivities to celebrate their graduation (the ceremony and the prom) are still taking place, though of course with specific regulations and guidelines to stay safe.

If you are a part of the graduating year of 2021 and would like to come to the prom, please contact us at Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein.!

To commemorate the two final years at NMS, Sara Koehn-Haskins (IB13) and Bronwyn Barrett (Abitur Q4) created this portfolio website NMS 2021: The Year of COVD . 

We hope you visit the website and get to know us, as well as the experiences we've enjoyed!

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on 21 March. On that day, in 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid pass laws.

Lian from class 7c and Lidia from class 7d followed a call by the social pedagogues of P30 to participate in a creative activity against racism by  making their own short films. They both chose to go with stop motion but used different techniques and settings. Click on the pictures above and below to see the films.

This year nine IB Visual Arts students showed their studio work in the P30 Aula. As part of their final assessment the students thoughtfully curated their artwork, that has been created throughout the course. 

The exhibition ran until April 16 but you can still take the walkthrough tour here below. The tour was taken more than 300 times by members of the NMS community.

Due to the pandemic, the exhibition was not open to the public and visits had to be confirmed by the school management. Click on the picture below to see the full size exhibition picture. 

A short video presentation was created of the students work in the primary school and in the secondary school a padlet was set-up to share resources and contributions of students, teachers and educators.

As the 21^st of March was a Sunday this year, the school commemorated the day on Friday, 19^th March. On this day, many classes looked at the work of other classes, students or groups from the Nelson Mandela School plus read books, watched videos, did activities or/and discussed the topic of eliminating racial discrimination.

The students of class 9d created their own GIFs against racism that are collected in a padlet.

We spent the month of February discussing the topic of racism and exchanged our experiences. Some NMS art teachers used the opportunity during the Black History Month to specifically focus on visual art created by Black artists. The online art lessons, however, should be creative and product-orientated, not necessarily concentrate on more cognitive content that our students would get en masse from many other subjects.

Dear Parents,
