Class D’ has just finished the Christmas cards for their Croatian friends.
The cards came out really nice and each pupil wrote a few things about themselves and Christmas wishes. Now they keep asking me when they will receive cards from Croatia!

Video conference with Malta
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, eTwinning 2013, Christmas is coming, projects 2013-2014 , στις 25 Νοεμβρίου 2013 από Lenia KA while ago class E’ was talking to their Maltese friends! The atmosphere was so lively! Everyone was happy, despite the bad connection. First Mrs Abigail (the Maltese teacher) talked with miss Eleni (the Greek teacher). Do you know that Mrs Abilgail likes reading books ? And that miss Eleni’s favourite colour is green?
Then, each pupil met their foreign friend and asked them questions about their name/age and favourite hobby/colour/sport. There was a huge smile on everyone’s face during the Skype session and now they’re all ready for the next step: to make each new friend a card!
On this wall the pupils write their thoughts about this experience

Skype with Croatia
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, eTwinning 2013, Christmas is coming, projects 2013-2014 , στις 19 Νοεμβρίου 2013 από Lenia KToday the Croatian class and class D’ met online!Each pupil talked to the friend that’s going to exchange a Christmas card with. It was an amazing experience for both parties. Although they’ve been taught English for only 1-2 years, they were able to learn a few things about their foreign friends through simple questions such as
What’s your name?
How are you today?
How old are you?
What’s your favourite colour/sport/school subject?
The Croatian class also sang a beautiful song in English that the class D enjoyed very much!
On this wall the pupils share their feelings about the video conference.

Now, we’re looking forward to their carols videos and Christmas cards!

Mr Jack ‘o Lantern
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, All Day School, Cultural project 2013-2014: British Customs, projects 2013-2014 , στις 14 Νοεμβρίου 2013 από Lenia KToday we had a wonderful day at All Day School! It was Jack ‘o Lantern day!
Classes E’ & ST’ talked to the younger ones (C’ & D’) about Halloween and its symbol, the pumpkin. Then they organized a competition: they asked them to design a face for a Jack ‘o Lantern on a piece of paper and voted for the best. The girls’ design was the winner and Anna and Konstantina (ST’) transferred the design on the pumpkin. Class ST’ had read about how to curve a pumpkin on an old issue of our magazine, so they knew exactly what to do! After that I cut the face features and all of the kids enjoyed taking out the seeds. When the pumpkin was turned into a Jack ‘o Lantern, we drew the curtains, turned off the lights and lit a candle inside. It was magic!
The kids decided to make a recipe out of the leftover pumpkin and a video on how to curve it! Looking forward to it!
Deck the class!

There was an unexpected visitor in All Day school today…a witch riding her broom! Yes, it’s true, because today it’s Halloween and witches walk around in the USA and the UK so one of them visited Greece! She gave pupils the creeps as they walked into the English room! Vasilia, Dimitris, Kostas and the rest of the kids screamed with fear when they saw her! However, she turned out to be a nice witch. She showed them photos of Halloween, they filled in a quiz afterwards and talked about the festival. Finally they made their own scary bat masks. Classes C’ and D’ are now ready to flyyyyyyyyy!
Happy Halloween everyone!
