Early Years and Primary School Clubs
Lunch Club
Visit our Library during Lunch time!
Students are able to visit the Primary School Library from 12:50 to 13:20 on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays. This is on a 'drop in' basis so there is no need for students to sign up for this.
After School Clubs
Our extracurricular activities (After School Clubs) are mainly offered for recreational purposes. However, they also offer opportunities for growth, enrichment and skill development. These activities provide a structured and supportive environment where students might explore their interests, make new friends, and acquire valuable life skills.
These clubs are mainly for students in Grades 1-5, however, we also offer clubs for K2 and K3 children. Our After School Clubs are run by BBS teachers (no fees/green) and external coaches (fees/blue) and take place in the afternoon from 15:30-16:30 (times may vary - see ASC Overview below). Because spaces are limited, registration for the clubs takes place on a termly basis rather than on a yearly basis, so that every student has the opportunity to join the club of their choice. You can find all the information on how and when to register for the After School Clubs below.
Please register your child within the sign-up period (09.12. - 29.12.2025) using the ASC Form below. Carefully read the After School Club Guidelines and also see the After School Clubs Overview regarding costs and other important information. You will receive confirmation, if your child can join their chosen club/s on 06.01.2025 via email.
***Please note that there will be no clubs on the following days:
- 17.02.-21.02.2025 - Half-term holiday
After School Clubs will commence on Monday 13.01.2025.

In my afternoon course, your children will dive into the fascinating world of visual media - both analog and digital.
Together, we’ll explore the joy of creating with our hands, whether it’s through drawing, designing, or screen printing. But we won’t leave the digital side behind: your children will also learn how to edit their creations using simple tools and even design their own unique motifs.
A special highlight of the course is the Color Journal. Over the course of a month, the children will take a daily photo of a color that catches their attention in their surroundings. It might be the vibrant yellow of a flower, the deep blue of the sky, or the bold red of a favorite object. Alongside each photo, they’ll note their thoughts and emotions: What does this color remind them of? What mood does it evoke? Through this, they’ll sharpen their sense of observation and develop a fresh perspective on colors and their meanings.
With fun DIY projects like creating custom stickers and experimenting with other creative techniques, we combine the excitement of hands-on crafting with tangible results that your children can be proud of.

Coordination & Balance (Gr. 1-5)
Grade | 1 - 5 |
Teacher/Coach | Mr Keogue |
Time | 15:30 - 16:30 |
Venue | small gym |
Fees | €170,- per term |
Students must wear P.E. shoes (non-marking, clean indoor shoes) and appropriate, functional clothing.
Coordination and balance is an idea from sports and training science and offers comprehensive, age-appropriate sports exercises to train, improve and develop in a playful way (motor exercises, psycho-motor challenges, sensory activities) the basic motorskills. The aim is to increase the children's willingness to exercise in the long term and to encourage their enthusiasm for exercise and sport. These goals are achieved through the pedagogical method of mastery-based learning, so that the children feel no pressure.
Coordination is scientifically defined as the interaction of skeletal muscle and brain and consists of 7 skills: Reaction, orientation, adaptability, differentiation, coupling, rhythm and balance. It is therefore the most important motor and sporting ability.
Coordination and balance is therefore not only a child-friendly introduction to sport, but also a parallel and complete supplement to all types of sport, compensation for the daily lack of movement, injury prevention, movement experience and preparation for later high-performance sport. Exciting challenge, motivation, participation, helpfulness and humour are our secrets to inspire children for 60 minutes.

Crochet (Gr. 3-5)
Grade | 3 - 5 |
Teacher/Coach | Ms Grodek |
Time | 15:30 - 16:30 |
Venue | 5C |
Fees | 240,-€ per term *includes VAT and materials |
The curriculum at this crochet club encompasses not only the technical aspects of crocheting, such as using a crochet hook and working with yarn, but also the opportunity for students to bring their own creative visions and projects to life. In addition to experimenting with and modifying the intermediate results of your own project in line with the final objective, you will also have the opportunity to explore and test innovative approaches to sustainability. Any remaining threads can be repurposed as filling material for three-dimensional bodies or tied together into a long thread and used as a new, colourful thread for a new project. Alternative solutions are also developed when implementing our own visions. New design options outside of the actual project are also discovered and explored. In addition, the students learn about and experiment with different types of wool and yarn.
My name is Lisa Grodek, I am a full-time international crochet designer and artist with 27 years of crochet experience. I have 5 years of teaching experience in schools for grades 1-10 and work as a lecturer in adult education in the field of textile design/crochet for basic and advanced courses, as well as for the further training course 'Crochet in Design Teaching', which is recognised as professional further training under the Berlin Education Time Act. It is important to me to continue my education in the field of pedagogy, for example through further education courses, some of which are run in cooperation with the Free University of Berlin.
My aim is to inspire young people in particular to take up traditional handicrafts such as crochet and to accompany them on their individual and creative path to their own crochet project.
