PARTNERS’ MEETING IN SATU MARE ,ROMANIA

In many villages in Greece,every year revives on 1st March the ancient Greek custom “helidonismata”(from the word “helidoni” in modern or “helidon”in ancient Greek which means swallow).The children are celebrating the coming of spring which is symbolized by the swallow.They make a swallow’s simulacrum and go around the village’s houses singing the helidona,a kind of carol.The housewives give them sweets or money sometimes.

CROSS CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES  4TH CLASS

Who said we can not combine Maths and Environmental Studies?

This is a craft made by the students of the 3rd class.It depicts a figure of a woman called Kyra-Sarakosti (Lady Sarakosti/Lent) cut out of a sheet of paper.She has no mouth (because she never eats),her hands joined together in prayer and at the bottom of her long skirt seven little feet are projected,one of each of the weeks of fasting.Every Saturday  one foot is cut off,the last one on Holy Saturday,the day before Easter Sunday.This last foot is inserted into a dry fig or a walnut,bringing luck to the finder.

The kites that are all around,is another custom in Greece.Every year on Clean Monday,the Greek people,young andold alike,can be seen out in the countryside,flying kites.
