Looking Back: Cooking & More Summer Camp
Looking Back: Cooking & More Summer Camp
Wednesday, 03 July 2019
Last week, for the second time in a row, ISR hosted the Cooking & More Summer Camp led by Ms. Nicole Freitag. Everyday 14 ISR students prepared easy meals for breakfast and lunch and in the process, learnt something new about cooking. The students were shown how to prepare delicious smoothies, healthy lemonade, wraps and cupcakes. Students discovered how fun it was to cook using healthy, child-friendly recipes. Ms. Freitag took the students on excursions to local food markets and bakeries in order to teach them the benefits of eating healthy and to get the children interested in identifying fresh foods.
A highlight of the week was the visit to the Hinkel Bakery, where the students saw how bread was made from mixing the dough to baking it in an oven and then finally having a loaf of bread! After learning such an exciting process they were given an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the traditional Hinkel Bakery. These excursions and lessons were lots of fun and encouraged an amazing team spirit amongst the group!
On the last day of the camp, students invited their families to dinner at Broich Catering in Düsseldorf. There our young chefs demonstrated their skills and what they learned during the week. This included; setting the tables in a stylish manner and serving the food which they prepared together with Mrs Freitag. Mrs Broich-Bruester and her team, who are responsible for catering at ISR, were there to support them.
We would like to thank Nicole Freitag (www.die-kleinen-feinschmecker.de), Ursula Broich-Bruester, Carola Herold, Broich Catering & Locations, Claudia Trapp, Bäckerei Hinkel and Marc Müller for planning and supporting the Cooking & More Camp. We look forward to seeing more aspiring young chefs join the camp next year!

Once again last week 17 football enthusiasts from a total of six area schools were able to complete their training as DFB Junior Coaches at ISR. Under the guidance of our sports teacher Karsten Baumann, a former Bundesliga player and trainer, the students were trained as licensed junior trainers through theoretical and practical exercises. The training, which has been held at the ISR in cooperation with the DFB for several years now, paves the way for students to enter into a career as a football trainer.
At the end of the successful week, the junior coaches received their hard-earned certificates from Mr. Mirko Schweikhardt and Mr. André Lengsfeld, who work for the Commission for Schools and Childcare Centers. They also welcomed Mr. Dirk Gärtner, Chairman of the Lower Rhine Football Association and Mr. Peter Soliman, Managing Partner of ISR. The Commerzbank, which supports this training as a premium partner of the DFB, was represented by Mr. Alexander Weckauf. Everyone congratulated the students during the festive ceremony and encouraged them to keep up their training during their summer holiday.
We would like to thank all participants for this great cooperation and we’re already looking forward to next year!

Last week, the Ballet Summer Camp took place for the first time at our school. The program was led by Mrs. Peltzer, who regularly conducts various ballet courses during the academic year as part of our daily extracurricular program. In addition to classic ballet moves and some theory, the children learned how to interpret a given theme through movement and how to express their feelings through dance.
The children choreographed their own dance routine to the music from the ballet “Die Puppenfee”. On the last day of the camp, the children stayed busy creating ballet themed arts and crafts.
We would like to thank Mrs. Peltzer very much for this extraordinary week and we are looking forward to the next Ballet Camp next year.

Ms Peltzer offers her ballet lessons weekly as an SLO® activity for various age groups at ISR. The dance routines are performed by the children at ISR school concerts and other internal school events.

Once again, our ISR Sports Camp this year was all about fun, sports and exercise! The camp, led by our sports teacher Mr. Small, had lots of variety and action in store for our almost 100 participants! On top of a multitude of sports activities that took place both on the school’s campus and across the street on the PSV Neuss sports facilities, the children had the opportunity to visit numerous popular sports venues in and around Neuss, such as the Neuss Skihalle the perfect place to be when it is 36°C outside, trampoline halls, swimming lakes and pools and many other great places for children.
Despite the extreme weather conditions in the past week, all participants showed a great deal of sportsmanship and had a fun time filled with joy and laughter. The gameplay in between the events as well as our water sprinklers out in the schoolyard provided for a welcome cooling-down during the breaks.
We would like to thank all teachers, staff and assistants for a successful Sports Camp week and already look forward to another Summer Camp next year!
