Department Berlin Wall Celebrations

During October, our department celebrates ‘die Wiedervereinigung’ – The reunificiation of Germany. This was a process of re-establishing Germany as a single full state which took place between 9 November 1989 and 15 March 1991. On 3rd October 1990, the “Unification Treaty” entered into force dissolving the German Democratic Republic.  To learn more about this time in the German calendar, we learnt about the events that led to the Berlin wall being built, the problems this caused for Germany and the German people and then what led to ‘Der Fall der Mauer’ (the fall of the wall).  We learnt all about the escapes that some people made and we learnt all about the sacrifices people made and then eventually the parties that happened when the wall came down.  To celebrate this, Year 7 made some handprints covered in vocabulary and facts about the Berlin wall and Years 8 and 9 made some bricks to depict the Berlin wall covered in graffiti.
