In May we have long tradition to go for hiking. Very often hiking destinations can be homeyards of our students and we are always welcomed warmly .
This spring we decided to ask parents come with us as one big happy team. Different groups had different quantity of cooperative parents, but breavest of them were with us.
Depending on the age of the children, groups had different trails. Everybody enjoyed good combination of great weather, physical activity and fine company in European nature!

Celebrating the World Environment Day in our schoolyard was a great opportunity  for the whole school team to disseminate all our projects, thoughts and concerns about protecting nature. Having as central core “marine litter”‘ we prepared a story where all the kids needed to find a solution to save the life of sea animals against plastic bags . Fish, crabs, plastic bags, doctors, nurses, sea and scuba divers were presented in front of our hand made scenery and of course in front of an enthusiastic audience! All the pupils got a warm applause and a diploma for being a member of our Erasmus+ Team!

From the 6th to the 8th of June 2018 we had our first training event in Saint Germain en Laye France.

The partners participated to an artistic workshop proposed by the artist Aline Rutily from the Association Paysage et patrimoine sans frontière. We created poem and illustrated it on a note book with watercolorable oil pastel and pencils.

Then we went to Versailles to visit the gardens and the parc of the castle of Louis XIV.

The following morning our coordinator Vassiliki Anagnostou presented our Erasmus + project in front of 50 people coming from Portugal, Spain, Italy, Romania and France.

A cruise on the river Seine was a very good way to learn more about the time of impressionnistes painters and the way they lived.

On Friday morning all the partners went to visit the preprimary school Saint Exupéry in Marly le Roi. Children presented themselves in English, they sang songs for the partners.

Then we all had a trip to Giverny to visit the house and gardens of the impressionniste painter Claude Monet.

We ended this first training event in the Blue garden created by the artist Aline Rutily.

Children had to found statues, details of statues, they have seen pictures from impressionnists painters.
Then they tried to do like the statues !

Every student prepared his/her artistic poster of our project, on which we glued his face photo under the tree of our logo. So we created personalized posters for every happy student who participates in LEARNING OUTside the classroom IN the EUROPEan nature for all our families! We also added the main priorities of our project at the backside of the poster, in order to diffuse the ideas of our partnership. At the day of our theatrical play with environmental message for our sea, when all the families and friends of our students visited our school, we organized an exhibition of all the beautiful posters. In addition we informed more of 150 visitors of our neighborhood  about the progress of the implementation of our Erasmus+ project and we thanked all the parents and grand parents who were happy to participate in many project’s activities!

On the 25th of May 22 children went to Saint Germain en Laye to discover the artistic blue garden created by the artist Aline Rutily. They had a sensorial approach : they could touch and smell the leaves of lavender, they could admire all the bleu flowers. They used mirrors to see the reflects, they used frames to focus on details, they used kaleïdoscopes to multiply the image.
Then with bleu wax chalk and color pencils they draw the flowers the blue garden.
At the end of this morning pupils spent few times in the children’s department of the library where they could see books on flowers, garden…
