Last Thursday class ST’ finished recording on video some of the most popular Greek recipes to send to their Polish friends.

Making a cheese pie: this one is tough!

Here’s what they did:

They discussed in groups and came up with a full Greek menu consisting of two appetizers, a salad, a main dish and two desserts.

The morning after: the chicken before it was devoured by the kids !!!

The Greek salad was eaten on the spot! It smelled awesome!

The apples are ready to get into the oven!

They asked their mothers to give them the recipes.

They wrote the recipes in English in groups.

M-Star created this beautiful photo of their menu.


They executed them in class and recorded them on camera. Some of them was reading out the recipes, while the other ones were either acting it out or recording it!

Cooking, reading, recording- juggling everything at once! Wow!

The preparation was so fun! We had many laughs while making the food! Their classmates got lucky, too, as they tasted the food the next morning! They didn’t even let the teachers have a bite! They absolutely loved the dishes!!!

Attention to detail: food styling by Bebbie & Anastasia

The videos are finally ready:

Class STprepared a special presentation to show their Polish friends their school. They worked really hard for it!

They took the photos, wrote the description in groups and edited it, all by themselves. Although it took them many hours to prepare, they were so happy with the result that they also published it in e- Writers (Our school page)!

This way, e-Writers’ readers will have information on our school thanks to class ST’ anytime!

Well done, kids! You did a great job, as always!

On Friday, 3rd February, the pupils of class ST’ talked about their daily routines with their Polish friends on the ‘Twinspace’. They used a tool called ‘Chat’. Their communication took place from 9:oo-9:40 am.

It was an amazing experience!


At first, they were anxious to begin and when they did, they were excited to recieve their Polish friends messsages. Every time a Polish group joined the chat they screamed: ‘Fabulaz Girls are in!!!’ . Then, similarly when they got a message they said to one another: ‘They replied!’ .They came to me telling me what their Polish friend wrote them in enthusiasm!


The Polish pupils were just as enthusiastic , although they were a bit worried about their English! Their teacher, Mrs Monica wrote :

They were thrilled when they discovered that there are so many similarities between Polish and Greek students! “They like sports, just like we do!”, “They love cats! We love animals, too!”, “I wrote them I like chocolate and they answered that they also like it!”. There were also some disappointments: “Yyy… they like Justin Bieber… He isn’t so popular in Poland…” or “Hmm… They don’t play computer games as often as we do… they don’t even know the names of games popular between us!”

We said goodbye to our friends, hoping to meet them online again.We left the computer lab talking about how good use of technology can bring people together…Think about it…There was a class at the same day and time somewhere in Europe, so far away from us yet so close

There has been a lot of hustling and bustling in our English room and our computer lab this month!

Why?

Because we are lucky to be working on wonderful projects that enable us to meet new people and become their friends using English as our vehicle!

What are these projects?

Take a look below:

Class D’ is participating in an e-Twinning project called ‘Christmas Around Europe’. The project entails Christmas cards and ornaments exchange and Christmas customs presentation between 9 European countries! Besides our school, there are primary schools from England, Italy, Romania, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia, Estonia and Greece! The cards are on their way and the pupils are eagerly waiting for them! Click here to visit the project’s site.

D. is writing her card

A's card is ready!

M and P are making their pomegranate cards

All the cards are ready to send!

Class E’ is communicating with class E2 of the Demenica Primary School in Patras through emails and the project is called ‘Getting to Know Each Other’ . So far they have exchanged two mails talking about themselves, daily routines and their likes and dislikes. They are really excited and they look forward to the next email from their friends. If you want to see their mails click here.

Class ST’ is participating in an e-Twinning project called ‘Far Away, So Close’ and they are going to communicate with a primary school in Zabór, Poland. Their Polish friends have already sent them emails saying a few things about themselves. Other topics to discuss will be describing our countries & hometowns, Christmas / Easter customs, school and timetable, national cuisine etc. If you want to vist the site click here.

And of course, all three classes are also amazing e-writers in our fantastic e-magazine!!!

So far class ST’ interviewed our new headmaster and wrote about their favourite countries.

This is the second year of our e-magazine and we hope that our readers will like it as much as they did last year!
