In the context of a project about the olive tree, which 4th grade students did with their teacher, Ms Stratigoula Lazaraki, we thought about creating an advertisement flyer for our very own, imaginary, olive oil label! We all thought it would be a great idea to see the locally produced olive oil being sold on the shelves of big supermarkets in the UK, so we wanted to help by making it known to the people there.

The students’ imagination was unlimited: Someone thought of olive oil as being liquid gold, which triggered someone else’s idea of presenting this olive oil as treasure which pirates had to struggle very hard to get to; others thought about olive oil as a means of celebrating peace and unity among people; for others it was the product of hard work, during the harsh autumn and winter weather; others celebrated Greek cuisine and the Mediterranean diet, and so on. It was such a pleasure to work with these talented kids! You can see some of their works here.
