Flummy week in kindergarten: a fun festival despite the rain!

Brendelweg, 27749 Delmenhorst, Deutschland - The kindergarten Schafkoven, which is operated by Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO), recently celebrated the final event of his "FlummiWoche". A song by Roland Kaiser was enthusiastic on the sports field of TV Jahn on Brendelweg. Despite the rainy weather, the mood among active people and spectators remained unexploited.

The choice of the name "FullummiWoche" was made by a coordination among the children, which also brought other suggestions such as "Sport fun" and "speedstroof week" in the considerations. This event was launched with the parents' wish for a sports week, supported by the initiative of committed parents.

Pervin Heidtke, the head of the kindergarten, emphasized the importance of working with the parents, especially since Corona pandemic. The Schafkoven kindergarten looks after 105 children in five groups, which are from 1 to 6 years old. As part of the flumb week, the team offered a varied program with daily activities:

movement is a central topic of health promotion in kindergarten.
