Acting English!

Acting English logo

“Acting: English!” is a creative eTwinning project that aims to improve students’ English skills through drama, storytelling, and role-play. Each month, students take part in engaging activities such as creating avatars, writing and performing short dialogues, acting out stories, and recording puppet shows. These tasks help students gain confidence in speaking English while encouraging creativity and teamwork. Partner schools collaborate by sharing student work and interacting through digital tools. The project also supports the development of 21st-century skills like communication, digital literacy, and cultural awareness. It is designed for learners aged 9–12 at A1–A2 levels and includes fun, performance-based learning throughout the school year.

A BIG THANK YOU!

Ι would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Parents and Guardians Association of our school for their generous offer to cover the cost of printing and binding the preparation books (Past Papers) for the State Certificate of Language Proficiency (Level A) exams, for the 5th and 6th grade students.

Parental support is a cornerstone of our educational community. Initiatives like this strengthen the work of public education, which strives every day to provide equal opportunities and high-quality learning for all children.

The English lesson is particularly important, as it helps students develop communication skills, explore other cultures, and broaden their horizons. The Association’s contribution is invaluable, ensuring that every child has access to the necessary educational material and can actively participate in both the learning process and the certification exams.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support, cooperation, and commitment!

European Day of Languages (2025)

Celebrating the European Day of Languages at Our School – Languages open hearts and minds!

Last week the students of the 5th grade had the chance to celebrate the European Day of Languages with creativity, teamwork, and lots of fun! The aim of the day was to highlight the importance of learning new languages and to promote respect for different cultures.

During the English lesson, the students explored simple greetings in more than ten European languages and created colourful posters to share with the school community.

To make the day even more interactive, we played a quiz game where students had to guess the country from audio recordings of different European languages. Laughter and excitement filled the room as students discovered similarities and differences among languages.

The activities helped students realize that learning a new language opens doors to communication, friendship, and cultural understanding. It was a wonderful way to celebrate diversity and remind everyone that languages connect us all!

Saying Goodbye to a Wonderful School Year

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!

Active Citizenship : Two languages, one heart-the 5th grade speaks up! (Podcasts)

As part of the “Active Citizenship” project, the 5th-grade students participated in the creation of a digital library of audio stories (podcasts) in both Greek and English. The stories were either written by the students themselves or inspired by books they have read.PODCAST IMAGE

A common theme across all stories is the acceptance of diversity and inclusion. The students read the stories aloud, highlighting the importance of accessibility to children’s books for all children.

Celebrating World Environment Day (5th June)

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.
