Κατηγορία: Arts and Crafts

With pride and emotion, we share with you a milestone in our school life: the English Theatre Club of our school took to the stage of the Multifunctional Cultural Centre “Mikis Theodorakis” — Anna Synodinou Theatre, as part of the 2nd Student Theatre Festival of the Municipality of Ilion, on Saturday, 6 June 2026 at 7:00 PM.

A performance born in the classroom, nurtured with love, and lifted into the spotlight.

The theatrical production “When Yannis Met Willie” is the fruit of months of collective work, creative imagination, and genuine collaboration. The Club’s students gave their very best — under the lights, on the stage, and throughout each of the 2 rehearsals that preceded it. The result was a performance that truly impressed the audience!

Λίγα λόγια για το έργο

Το έργο «Όταν ο Γιάννης συνάντησε τον Willie» είναι μια διασκεδαστική θεατρική παράσταση που συνδυάζει στοιχεία φαντασίας, χιούμορ και λογοτεχνίας. Κεντρικός ήρωας είναι ο Γιάννης, ένας μαθητής δημοτικού που δυσκολεύεται να κατανοήσει τα έργα του Σαίξπηρ. Μέσα από ένα ονειρικό ταξίδι, με τη βοήθεια των Μουσών Μελπομένης και Θάλειας, μεταφέρεται στην ελισαβετιανή εποχή, γνωρίζει τον ίδιο τον Σαίξπηρ και αποσπάσματα από τα πιο γνωστά έργα του, όπως ο «Ρωμαίος και Ιουλιέτα», ο «Μάκβεθ», ο «Άμλετ» και «Το ημέρωμα της στρίγκλας».

 A taste of the Uk

As the school year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to look back and celebrate everything we’ve accomplished together. What a productive, creative, and inspiring year it has been!

From the very first day in September to the last goodbyes in June, our classrooms have been full of curiosity, laughter, and learning. Whether it was tackling new challenges, discovering new interests, or growing in confidence, each of our students brought something special to the group—and we’re so proud of how far they’ve come.

📚 What We Learned

This year wasn’t just about textbooks and tests. It was about exploring ideas, asking questions, and working together. My students have sharpened their reading and writing skills, deepened their understanding of the world, and learned how to think critically and creatively.

They’ve also developed important life skills—teamwork, time management, responsibility, and kindness. These lessons are just as valuable as anything found in a curriculum.

🌱 Projects, Events & Highlights

Some of our favorite moments include:

• Exciting hands-on projects and creative group work
• Class celebrations for holidays and special days
• Participating in Earth Day / World Environment Day activities
• Watching each student shine in their own unique way—whether in presentations, performances, or everyday classroom moments

💬 A Message to my Students

To my amazing students:
You’ve worked hard, supported each other, and grown in so many ways. You’ve made your teachers proud, your families proud—and most importantly, you should be proud of yourselves. Keep your curiosity alive and remember that learning doesn’t stop when the school year ends.

🌞 Wishing Everyone a Happy Summer

As we head into summer, we hope everyone finds time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the sunshine. Read a good book, play outside, explore something new—and don’t forget to take care of yourselves and the world around you.

Thank you all—students, families, and colleagues—for a fantastic school year. Here’s to everything we’ve achieved and everything yet to come! ✨

See you in September!

June 5th is the World Environment Day – a day dedicated to raising awareness and taking action to protect our planet. This year, our 5th grade students embraced the spirit of Earth Day with enthusiasm, creativity, and a deep sense of responsibility.

🌍 Why We Celebrate Earth Day

Before diving into activities, we had a meaningful discussion about why Earth Day matters. We talked about the importance of taking care of our planet, how human actions affect the environment, and the small but powerful changes we can make in our everyday lives. Students shared their own ideas about how we can all contribute—recycling more, using less plastic, planting trees, and walking or biking instead of driving.

Earth Day might only come once a year, but the lessons we learned will stay with us. Our 5th graders are proof that young people can lead the way in protecting our planet—with creativity, compassion, and commitment.

---

Let’s continue to nurture these seeds of awareness and action every day. After all, the Earth is in our hands!
