Gruffalo

The Gruffalo at Helen Doron Early English

On Sunday, 30th September, 2012 the Helen Doron Early English Learning Centre at the station in Oberursel will be “visited” by the famous Gruffalo.

Children aged 6-10 are invited to a “Bilderbuch Kino” between 2.30pm and 4.30pm, whilst for children aged 3-5 there will be an interactive storytime from 4.30pm to 5.30pm.

At the beginning of the story one of the teachers will revise the most important vocabulary, so that German speaking children with some English knowledge can also follow the story.

To go along, register by calling 06171 699986 or e-mailing office.oberursel@helendoron.de by Wednesday, 26th September. Entry costs €5 per child to cover the cost of craft materials, a snack and a drink.

Bahnhofsfest at Oberursel Station

The station in Oberursel is being officially re-opened on Saturday, 26th May, 2012 at 11pm, and to celebrate a Bahnhofsfest is being held on Saturday and Sunday.

The station itself is easy to get to, as it serves both the S-Bahn (S5), U-Bahn (U3) and also a number of bus routes.

On both days there will be tours of the renovated station building, a miniature steam railway, a bouncy castle and goal shooting.

There will also be demonstrations by the dance school, a children’s disco at 3pm on Saturday afternoon, and a big party throughout the building from 8pm on Friday evening. Apparently they will also be showing the Eurovision Song Contest in one of the rooms!

Helen Doron Early English will be offering a “picture book cinema” version of the The Gruffalo on Saturday at 4pm, an “interactive theatre” version of The Rainbox Fish on Sunday at 4pm, and a “Sing & Dance” on both days at 5pm.
