You worked really hard: you created wonderful projects, you collaborated superbly with your classmates and your far away friends from all over Europe and Patras and you published amazing pieces of work on our e-magazine!
Now it’s time for you to rest and enjoy your summer holidays to the full.
I’d like to thank you for a creative and exciting school year!
My best wishes to all the pupils of ST’ class: may you fly as far as possible!
I’d love to read your wishes here:
And here’s a nice song about holidays for you to sing:
We’re all going on a summer holiday
no more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on our summer holiday,
no more worries for me or you,
for a week or two.
We’re going where the sun shines brightly
we’re going where the sea is blue.
we’ve all seen it on the movies,
now let’s see if it’s true.
Everybody has a summer holiday
doin’ things they always wanted to
So we’re going on a summer holiday,
to make our dreams come true
for me and you.
for me and you.
See you in September!
Master chefs!
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, eTwinning 2011-2012, Far away, So close, Projects, projects 2011-2012, Teacher's Announcements , στις 29 Μαΐου 2012 από Lenia KLast 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:

They did a great job! After reading about Lady Decay in their book and making a teeth craft, they made a quiz with questions about how we take care of our teeth, based on what we discussed in class. They wrote the questions with their groups on the computer on their own! They also decided about the results and chose a nice photo for their posting.
Excellent work, class C’ and such and interesting quiz!

Pancake Day at school
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, Culture, Projects, projects 2011-2012, Teacher's Announcements , στις 29 Φεβρουαρίου 2012 από Lenia KOn February 21st it was Shrove Tuesday in the UK. In order to learn more about this special day -the last before Lent- and compare it to the Greek customs, class ST’ had a special pancake day lesson on Friday 24th.
It was a pancake extravaganza!
Class ST’ worked overtime!
They wrote a pancake recipe, solved a Shrove Tuesday quiz, prepared tons of pancake batter, cooked pancakes, presented a short theatrical play, organized a pancake race for the whole school to compete at and drew the winners’ prizes: wooden spatulas.
The theatrical play was very interesting and fun and the pancake race was absolutely hilarious! All classes, the kindergarten, AND the teachers took part!
I don’t need to tell you about the pancakes…they were delish! Yummy!!!
It was an amazing day and everyone had lots of fun thanks to class ST’ !
Well done, class ST!
It was a day to remember!
For more info and photos, please take a look at the upcoming postings on E-writers.
Shrove Tuesday
Κατηγορία Culture, Great Britain, Teacher's Announcements , στις 21 Φεβρουαρίου 2012 από Lenia KToday it’s Shrove Tuesday in England. It’s the last day before Lent and it always falls 47 days before Easter.
Shrove Tuesday is also called pancake day.
Do you know why?
Because everyone eats pancakes!
Do you like pancakes?
During Lent, people are not allowed to eat eggs or milk.Shrove Tuesday is the last day that they are allowed to eat them, so they make pancakes!
In many places in England there are pancakes races on pancake day.The most famous is Olney Pancake Race.
Women wear their aprons and scarves and they run to the church. But they have a pan with a pancake in their hands.
The winner is the woman who can run AND toss the pancake THREE TIMES!
It’s so fun!
Nowadays men also take part in this traditional event.
If you would like to see some pancake race videos, click here.
Since it’s such a fun and tasty custom, we’ll have a Pancake Day at school this Friday.
We’ll make pancakes and there will be some serious pancake racing in our schoolyard !!!
Soooooooooooooo…….are you ready?
On your marks…get set…GO!
Chat with our Polish friends
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, eTwinning 2011-2012, Far away, So close, Projects, projects 2011-2012 , στις 5 Φεβρουαρίου 2012 από Lenia KOn 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…

Κατηγορία 2011-2012 school year, Music, Places, Video , στις 2 Φεβρουαρίου 2012 από Lenia KIt isn’t often that it snows in our area!
- Akrata dressed in white
So, when it does, especially for two days in a row, it’s quite an event!
It’s something to celebrate!
And how do we celebrate it today?
No school today! They’re closed due to the weather!
Hurrayyyyy!
We can play in the snow, make snowmen, play snowball fights and slide on the snow!
Yesterday at school we learned words relevant to snow and then we draw some lovely snowy scenery.
Here are some of the amazing paintings that class D’ of the 2nd Primary School of Akrata made.
I’m leaving you with the wonderful waltz of the snowflakes by P.I.Tchaikovsky from his ballet ‘The Nutcracker’.
What could be more appropriate today?
