You will see German childen bring sandwiches and snacks to eat in the classroom. They also play in the playgound. One class swapped pictures of what they did with a primary school in Germany. They wrote short note in their own language about each picture. |

Both the German and English calendars have taken the idea of a week of 7 days from the Romans, along with most of the names. The Romans followed Egyptian and Hebrew practice in calling the days after the sun, moon and the five planets then known - which they named after Roman gods. The Anglo-Saxons (who came from Germany and Scandinavia, and settled much of England) re-named four of the days after their own equivalent Norse gods. Five of the seven day names in English have the same Anglo-Saxon origins as the German names:
Dienstag means "work day"; Mittwoch means "middle of the week". |
