Das Schulmadchen


The schoolgirl

At last! Mads is finally starting school in Frankfurt. After being at kinda forever she got to spend a whole hour at Textorschule today and tomorrow begins education German style for real.

She has been going to the after-school centre for a couple of weeks now and loving it. It’s very exciting.

Her schuletute stocked with Aussie paraphernalia has been ready for months. No school uniforms in Germany so Mads wore a very smart tunic purchased on a trip to New York earlier this year

Mads and her Romanian friend Oana ran all the way to school to meet their classmates and their teacher, Frau Thoma. How long will that eagerness last?

Good luck Mads – enjoy! Only 12 years to go!
