by our 5th graders

Ingredients:
2 cups of flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of sugar
a pinch of salt

Liquid ingredients:
2 cups of milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of olive oil
(some butter for the frying pan)

Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and all the liquid ingredients in another bowl. Empty the liquid ingredients mixture in the flour mixture and mix until you get a smooth mash. Then, take a small frying pan and put half a teaspoon of butter in it. After it melts, pour some of the mash into the frying pan. When you see small bubbles appearing, turn your pancake on the other side. Leave it until it becomes brownish, and put it on a tray. Put your pancakes one on top of the other, so that they remain hot! Try it at home with your family and good luck! Don’t forget: you can serve them with honey, praline, syrup, marmalade … anything sweet!

SUMMER
by Costas Mamalis

The sun is shining
Summer is here
We are eating ice-cream
Summer is here

Swim in the sea
Summer is here
We are going on holiday
Summer is here

We don’t have school
Summer is here
And we play in the park
Summer is here

WINTER
by Jim Valamoutopoulos

It is raining
Winter is here

It’s cold
Winter is here

It’s snowing
Everything is white
Winter is here

The children play snow war
And they make a snowman
Winter is here

Christmas and New Year is coming
Winter is here

SUMMER
by Tina Pappa

The sun is shining
The clouds are away
The schools are closing
The kids are free

Beautiful summer
I like the sea
The boats are sailing
With you and me

The nights are hot
The stars are bright
Beautiful summer
Keep us awake

I am so happy
The fruits are so sweet
Beautiful summer
Stay with me!

Summer is here
The sun is shining
Summer is here

Summer is here
Children are making castles on the beach
Summer is here

They sky is clean
And the sea is full
Now the children play tennis
They feel wonderful

It’s not autumn, not winter
Kids are happy

WINTER

And kids are making a snowman
It’s winter, it’s cold.

We eat ice cream
Summer is here

THE REAL ENGLISH BREAKFAST – February 2010 Issue

THE REAL ENGLISH BREAKFAST

by Maria Iordanidou

The English breakfast is quite heavy and it is not something that they eat every day. They often eat is as ‘brunch’ (something between breakfast and lunch), because if you eat it, you will not be hungry for many many hours. The beverage they prefer in the morning is the one they enjoy during the day, meaning tea. They usually put milk and sugar in their tea. But, what is there to eat?

 Sausage baked in the grill. The English sausages are very strange, they have less spices than ours.

 Grilled bacon, or even fried.

 Eggs sunny-side-up.

 Tomatoes cut in half and baked until they are soft and warm enough.

 Mushrooms. They are usually roasted with a little olive oil, cooked enough to be crunchy.

 Toasted bread. They usually spread plenty of butter on it.

 Beans. They don’t usually boil them, they get them from tins.

Except for all these, there are also many more things to eat. They usually include black pudding, brownies, pancakes and fried potatoes. Also, there is always a bottle of ketchup, or brown sauce on the table. What do you think? Can you eat all these and not get a stomach ache?
