German anyone?

[seeker]

Is Mein Schulekamm the German for my school badge or shieldy emblem thingy?

I have never heard the expression. But here they don't really do school badges.

If it's a coat of arms type thing, it would be something like 'mein Schulwappen'.

Thank you - it's difficult helping with homework when the extent of your knowledge it Ja and Nein!

German DH says he had a Schulwappen in the form of a sticker.

I'll let you know what Frau Wade says next week!

Pretty sure it'll be the 'school crest'

Will be an English translation to fit our words, not a German word as such, if you know what I mean.

Has he been given the word you wrote in your OP in his homework and you want to know what it means? Could it be Schulkram? Which just means school things, things you need for school.

Otherwise I agree with Berolina and the others, if you want a translation of school badge.

Ah, 'crest' - I think you might have arrived at Schulkamm by looking up crest and it giving you the word for a cockerel's crest?

Go with Wappen.

I lived in Germany for a while and don't recognise the term either but IIRC a 'kamm' can be a crest as in crest of a hill etc. as well, haven't looked anything up - as you said German schools don't often have badges etc so that's what led me to believe it could be a direct translation to fit an English term. I thought from the OP that it was a word given in homework, not one that the OP was trying to find as such.

She has. Yes she looked up the two words and I thought hat was a bit risky. I was right - thank you all! She wanted to add captions to some pictures about her home and school life home she has drawn and one of them was the the school's coat of arms thing. So she's gone with wappen.

Ah ok - sorry, wrong end of the stick here
