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 COUNTRY
by our 6th grade learners

This year we learnt in our English lesson how to write a report about our country. Here are some of our reports:

GREECE, MY COUNTRY
by Hryssa Papalexopoulou

My name is Hryssa and I am twelve years old. It’s a Greek name because my family is from Greece. My family and I live in Pteleos, a village in Greece. Greece borders with Bulgaria, Albania, F.Y.R.O.M., Italy and Turkey.

The weather is very cold in winters and hot in summers and it rains a lot every year.

The people here are friendly, good, very beautiful and they are clever.

In my opinion, you must visit Greece because it’s a fantastic country, full of surprises. I love Greece and you will, if you come here and see all the wonderful things that God has given us!

GREECE, AN ADORABLE COUNTRY
by Natasha Hassioti

The greatest philosophers and poets were born in Greece, such as Aristotle and Euripides. We are proud of being Greeks because we live in a country with a glorious past.

In addition, Greece is full of natural beauties. The climate is temperate, so many plants are thriving in the valleys and offer many nutritional products. The country has many magnificent landscapes, such as rivers, forests, lakes and many beaches.

Greece has a population of ten million people. It has developed stockbreeding, agriculture and breeding.

ALBANIA, MY COUNTRY
by Marilena Louska

My name is Marilena and I am twelve years old. My country is Albania. Now, I live in Pteleos, in Greece. The name of my village in Albania is Bulgiars. My country borders with Bulgaria, Italy and Greece.

Albania is mostly mountainous, with plains, hills and seas. Rivers flow across the country.

The weather is very very cold in winter and warm in summer. It rains and snows most of the time.

The people of Albania speak Albanian and are very hard-working.

I love my country very much!

RUSSIA, MY COUNTRY
by Julie Alamanioti

The name of my country is Russia, or Russian Federation. Russia is the biggest country in the world with an extent of 17,075,400 square kilometers. Its population is 140.041.247 people. Its capital city is Moscow. The official language is Russian and its currency is the ‘rouvli’. It is divided into 83 prefectures.

My parents and I go to Russia on holidays. The weather in summer is hot there and the people are friendly. The landscape is not very mountainous.

I love my country very much!
