THE STORY OF MY AUNT KIKI – English School Paper, February 2011 Issue

The story of my aunt Kiki,
22nd May 1974 – 8th May 2008
by Evaggelia Zaharaki (6th grade)

Kiki was my aunt and she was born on 22nd May, 1974. She was always a good girl in her junior years.

When she was in the 1st class of Primary School, she was playing in the garden, but, one day, when she was playing there, she hit her knee and the ambulance drove her to the hospital. Luckily, this accident wasn’t serious, but she screamed and cried a lot, because it hurt. She didn’t play in the garden for four days, but after a while, she felt well. From then on, she was playing games without having any accidents.

When she was going in Junior High School and Senior High School, she used to walk on mountains and plains. When I was born, Kiki was 24 years old. She loved me very much. She taught me lots of things! Unfortunately, she died on May 8th, 2008.She died when she was 34 years old and I was 10 years old. When she died, I was very sad, because I loved her as much as she did. She had a problem with her heart.

Her life was short but I will always remember her!

CHRISTMAS IN GREECE, BRITAIN AND RUSSIA – English School Paper, February 2011 Issue

Our 4th graders this term were invited by their course book to compare customs between different countries. Vasso and Zoe decided to present Christmas!

CHRISTMAS IN GREECE, BRITAIN AND RUSSIA
by Zoe Gerogiakomou & Vasso Boukorou (4th grade)

Christmas in Greece is great! We decorate our houses and tree with balls and lights. The children sing carols. We always open our presents on New Year’s Day. At Christmas we have lunch. In the evening we have dinner with all the members of our family.

In Britain, Christmas is a very popular holiday. People there decorate their tree and houses, too. They send cards to their friends and family and children there sing carols, too. At home, children have a stocking and Santa Claus puts presents in it. They always open their presents on Christmas day. They eat roast turkey or beef with fried potatoes and Brussels sprouts. For dessert they usually have Christmas pudding.

Julie Alamanioti, a Russian 6th grade student in our school, says that people in Russia celebrate Christmas every year. They decorate their houses, too. They go to the church and then the whole family comes home to eat homemade food. On New Year’s Eve in the afternoon people there eat homemade salads and other food and they drink wine. Some people go to the church and spend the night there. They put the presents under the Christmas tree and, on New Year’s Day, the children wake up and open their presents.

MY FAVOURITE ACTRESS – English School Paper, February 2011 Issue

MY FAVOURITE ACTRESS
by Helen Kaltsouni (5th grade)

My favourite actress is Laura Natalia Esquivel. She is from Argentina. She plays on the TV series “Patty, the most beautiful story”. We see her every afternoon at 6 o’clock here in Greece.

This series was a big success in many other countries like Argentina and Greece. That’s why she visited Greece just before Christmas and we saw her on TV live. She wanted to thank all her fans for their love. She was very kind.

She is only a girl and she is a good actress, a very good singer and she dances well, too! That’s why I admire her, because she does all these things very well although she has her college and a lot of studying too. She’ll be here, in Greece soon, again for a concert. I would like to go to see her!

– Watch out! Put some oil! Oh my God, turn the frying pan, the eggs will burn! No, not like this, honey! You shake it very fast. Oooh, you will destroy it! Now you must put salt. Don’t forget it! No, it’s too much! Are you crazy? Oooh, can you tell me where your mind is?
Then she looked at him and told him:
– Do you think that I can’t even cook two eggs?
He smiled at her and he told her:
– No, honey, but I wanted to give you an idea about how I feel when I drive and you are by my side!
