Almost every class, made a Valentine’s card to give to their Valentines, or their beloved ones! I know for a fact, that some cards reached their destination!
Their cards came out really nice, however, it was not so easy, since they had to listen to the instructions in English!
Happy Valentine’s Day, my little artists!

Watch the video and write me, how many times did she toss her pancake?
How many times can YOU flip a pancake in one minute?

Last year we learned about Shrove Tuesday in our school, made some pancakes and had a pancake race. It was awesome! Click on the links to see what happened!
If you want to make some pancakes, you can find the recipe in eWriters HERE.
Or, you could do a quiz HERE and see how much you know!
Letters for England
Κατηγορία 2nd Primary School of Akrata, eTwinning 2012, Christmas Surprise, projects 2012-2013 , στις 31 Ιανουαρίου 2013 από Lenia KThis past week classes D’ and E’ (2nd Primary School of Akrata) have been writing letters to their pen pals from St Edwards Primary School, England, as a reply to the letters they recieved before Christmas.
They have also prepared beautifully drawn envelopes with lovely surprises in them, such as postcards, drawings, photos and football stickers.
Class E’ wanted to write their letters on the computers and here is a photo of them at work….
………… and when finished!
The package on its way to the post office…
Listen, feel, taste and smell.
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, 2012-2013 school year, Classroom activities , στις 21 Ιανουαρίου 2013 από Lenia KClass ST’ learned about the verbs of senses. How? By sensing, of course! So, they played a game where they had to find out what each thing/food was, but most importantly, how it smelt, felt, tasted and sounded.
So, they smelled coffee, perfume (it smelled nice), oregano (it smelled awful),cinammon etc. They felt a soft scarf , a teddy bear, a walnut etc.They listened to different kind of music, some sounded nice, some terrible! And they tasted crisps (they tasted salty), lemon (sour), banana, chocolate, even salami!
It was so much fun and they had lots of laughs!
End of the Sing and Write Christmas eTwinning project
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, eTwinning 2012, Sing and Write Christmas, projects 2012-2013 , στις 21 Ιανουαρίου 2013 από Lenia KAs the eTwinning project SING AND WRITE CHRISTMAS (15 schools from 13 countries) came to an end, let us see how the pupils of class E’ worked on the project from October to December 2012:
1. They learned the countries’ and nationalities’ names in English
2. They spotted where each partner country is on the map of Europe.
3. They draw flags and the project’s title and created a special board in class.
4. They presented themselves, talked about our town and school with a text they wrote. You can read their presentation and the other partners’ presentations here.
5. They presented our school with a power point presentation (click on the photo).
6. They made 14 Christmas cards, one for every country and send them by post.
7. Then, Argyroula, Anna and Nickolas announced the project on eWriters.
8. They recorded the wish ‘Καλά Χριστούγεννα’ for their Europeand friends to listen on a VOKI. Here it is:
9. They recorded the Greek Christmas Carols on Video. All European carols turned into an online songbook (click on the photo to flip through it).
10. They exchanged written messages in English with their partners on the Twinspace.
11. They met online their Polish friends and talked about Christmas in Poland and Greece through Skype based on questions they had prepared. It was the best experience, as they said and asked to repeat it!
12. Then ,they published an article about their outcomes and overall experience of their skype session on eWriters. Here is a posting that miss Monica, the Polish teacher, wrote about our meeting on her blog.
13. And of course, they read and listened to a lot of English through the wonderful presentations of customs or videos that our partners prepared. Click on the following link to read about some countries’ CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS.
The day that they opened the cards they recieved was really special. Each one searched for their card (it was tricky to find out which country it was from, just looking at the stamp!), then presented it in class and pinned it on the project’s notice board.
Overall it was a wonderful project, during which the pupils used English to communicate with people from other countries in written or while speaking, learned a lot about many European countries , their schools and their Christmas traditions and they experienced how technology can bring people together.
I can only say WELL DONE, class E’! You worked really hard and you created an excellent project!In the following wall you can stick your thoughts on our project.
Before I close this posting, I’d like to share some really wonderful news: our Polish friends from Zabor were awarded the QUALITY LABEL AWARD for their effort and quality work they put into our eTwinning project SING AND WRITE CHRISTMAS!
Congratulations friends, from the pupils and the teaching staff of our school!
You’ve earned it!
It was contagious!
Κατηγορία 2nd Primary School of Akrata, eTwinning 2012, Christmas Surprise, projects 2012-2013 , στις 21 Ιανουαρίου 2013 από Lenia KPosting Christmas cards and love was contagious before Christmas in our area!D’ & E’ classes of the 2nd Primary School of Akrata asked me to take part in a card exchange eTwinning project. What’s more, class E’ wanted to communicate with the English class they exchanged cards last year. I contacted Mrs. Kimberley, the teacher at St. Edward’s Church of England Primary School, and we were happy to have a postitive reply to engage in an eTwinning project called CHRISTMAS SURPRISE (what a wonderful name, don’t you think?). So, immediately the kids started making and writing cards!
Class E’ is writing wishes and a few words about themselves to their old friends.
The cards are ready to post!
Class E’ proudly poses for a photo!
It seemed like a century waiting for the replies! Due to the post office’s work load in December (you know, due to far too many letters for Santa Claus apparently) a big box arrived the day after the school closed for the holidays. So the kids had to wait a bit longer! However, on our returning to school the box was opened! And it WAS a Christmas surprise in! There were beautiful cards along with letters written on the computer for each child, chocolates AND a Christmas cracker! The kids had so much fun with it! It was the first time they saw a cracker, since it’s a British custom. Each read the letter and talked about it in class. It was a super lesson! During the break they told the other classes about it and they were sooo happy!
Class D’ is reading the letters.
A and A are pulling the cracker! Everyone is excited!
What’s in the cracker? So eager to see!
Now, they’re preparing replies for their English friends and some surprises in return, too, as a way to thank them!
Thank you St. Edward’s school! We will treasure your letters!
Christmas Cards Exchange: the cards arrived!
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, eTwinning 2012, Christmas Cards Exchange, projects 2012-2013 , στις 20 Ιανουαρίου 2013 από Lenia KClass D’ kept asking me everyday for two months, if the Christmas cards from England had arrived. So, when we finally received them at the beginning of December, all the kids were thrilled!
We laid them on the floor, put some music and the fairy lights on and each one searched for the card addressed to them. And what a surprise! The cards was the one better from the other! They were pop up cards, really beautifully decorated. Most of them wrote a wish in Greek!
We had a lovely time! The kids presented and read each card to the class, then took it home to show their parents and place under their Christmas tree.
Thank you so much Norton Community Primary School!
