The Language Department at Oxford University have once again invited 9-11 year olds to enter the Oxford German Olympiad Competition. This year the theme is Natur und Tecnik (Nature and Technology). Skylarks learned about Natur und Technik in the German-speaking world, how and where the two concepts overlap and what challenges they might pose to us in the 21st century. Then, pupils were invited to enter the competition, choosing from these three categories:
- Design a robot and label its parts, and write what it can do.
- Draw a picture of your home city, town or village from a Vogelperspektive – bird’s eye view. Label the things the bird is most interested in.
- You’re going to set up a community on Mars – draw your spaceship and the fifteen most important things to take, and label them.
In the gallery below you can admire this year’s impressive entries, the results of the competition will be released in June….fingers crossed!
