Culture - Germany

As part of our on-going look at Culture and what makes us who we are.... we had a visit from Louis Dad (Timo) today. He grew up in Germany and told us a bit about what it was like when he went to school there, as a young boy.
In Germany children don't start school until they are 6 years old and everyone starts together at the same time of year regardless of when their birthday is. He gave us some German liquorice to taste...some of us didn't like it at all.
