Class D has just finished their means of transport poster that they have benn making for the road safety project ‘Ρόδα είναι και γυρίζει’. Next Monday they are presenting their poster and the song ‘ The wheels on the bus’ to the school community, parents and guests.
Today class D met their Italian partners online on an eTwinning Live Event! Despite the unexpected technical problems Event was a success! The Greek and Italian pupils got to know each other and asked and answered questions about their school life. Apparently they have many things in common: they have the same age (9-10 years old) and they are in the same class (D). Both schools have football fields and big schoolyards and all of the classes don’t like homework! However, in Italy school starts at 8:30am and finishes at 16:00pm with 30′ minutes break wereas in Greece school starts at 8:15 and finishes at 13:15pm with 10-15′ minutes breaks. All in all it was a great meeting and both classes learned many things about each other.
When the online meeting was finished, class D, said that they loved it and they want to repeat it! Class D were great at introducing themselves and each one shared very interesting information: P. said that his favourite car is Lamborghini, A. said that she likes classical music, C. that he likes running, S. that he is ten years old, N. and M. that their favourite sport is football, V. that she likes many sports and Italy and K. that she lives in Akrata.
It was a great experience!

I am very proud today! Class ST prepared a wonderful presentation for the whole school! They invited all the classes one by one in their classroom and they presented christmas customs from all over Europe! They had collected many things (the poppy crackers, your cards, the wheat, the badjnak, a cracker, the sotcking etc) and they explained all about the customs improvising. They also invited the guest pupils to act out the Lithuanian predictions. Everyone enjoyed it; the guest pupils were listening very attentively and enjoyed participating in the presentation and their teachers congratulated us for the organization, the group work and collaboration they saw. They showed a great interest in the customs and they said that they also learned a lot today. At the end, the kids enjoying the remaining poppy seeds crackers and the Swedish biscuits told me that they loved the project and felt very proud of their presentation that they prepared in only 3 teaching hours! I am one happy teacher today 🙂 !

Class ST has been revising our calendar in order to choose their favourite European Christmas customs for their presentation next week. They are planning to share with the rest of the school know what they have learnt during the Advent Calendar eTwinning project!
This is the third year that our school has been participating in the Greek school network ‘Ασφάλεια στο Διαδίκτυο’ . Grade 5 and 6 have been preparing for the 7th February when we are going to celebrate ‘Safer Internet Day’ at school.
6th grade created radio spots and a song for the EUROPEAN SCHOOL RADIO:
5th grade came up with rules we should follow when we surf the Net. Then they translated them in English looking the words up in the dictionary. Finally they made signs out of them!
180 pupils and their teachers who participated in this eTwinning project have evaluated it. They liked it very much!

These are the instructions we got for task 20:
”Badnjak from Serbia
The badnjak is an oak log or branch brought into the house and placed on the fire on the evening of Christmas Eve.
Early in the morning, the head of each family, usually accompanied by several male relatives, chooses and cuts down a tree from which the log will be cut for their household. In the evening, the head of the family brings their badnjak into the house. If there is more than one badnjak, the thickest of them is regarded as the main one, and is brought in first. Stepping across the threshold, right foot first, the man greets his gathered family with the words “Good evening and happy Christmas Eve to you.”
Another type of the badnjak that has developed among the Serbs has mostly replaced the traditional log, whose burning is usually unfeasible in modern homes. It is a bouquet of oak twigs with their brown leaves still attached, with which the home is decorated on the Eve. This cluster is also called the badnjak, and it is usually kept in the home until next Christmas.
Your task will be to make Badnjak from paper or natural materials.”
And here is our Badnjak!
