The Secret Life of My Toys
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώνα
Everyone is part of a team. Each one is different, but we all play together. When I’m sleeping, they come to life. I love spending my free time playing with my toys and building things.
Δημήτρης Γ.
Wow, your toys must have very busy nights when the lights go out, Dimitris! Do they ever leave you a surprise construction to find in the morning? What if your toys build a giant castle and take over your room while you’re sleeping? If they had a leader, which toy would be the boss?

After Brexit, UK schools could no longer join the European eTwinning platform. However, this year we’ve been lucky enough to find a British school and start a lovely exchange.
Aspley Guise Village School is a small rural, community school very close to Luton and London.
After quite a long wait, the parcel with the children’s beautiful cards from England finally arrived—and we couldn’t have been happier!
A big thank you to the children and their teacher, Ms Sammy Kirby, for all the love and imagination they put into their wonderful creations!

Skate Sharpening (Kind of!)
Whether you’re a hockey enthusiast, a figure skater, or someone who enjoys recreational skating, the sharpness of your ice skates is crucial for optimal performance. I used AI on Craiyon.com to generate a picture of skate sharpening. It didn’t turn out exactly right—it looks more like a piece of sheet iron being sharpened! Still, it was really fun to see what the AI came up with.
Stained Glass Flower
I then used AI again to create a stained glass panel with a flower. This time, the picture turned out really colourful and beautiful, just like real stained glass! I was happy to see how well the AI captured the idea.
My Dog, Marshal
Finally, I used AI to create a picture of my dog, Marshal. He is seven years old and he’s very clever and cute. I love him so much! My parents gave him to me as a birthday present when I turned six years old.

From Picture to Premiere: Marshal’s Video Debut
Nicholas did a fantastic job creating an AI picture of his dog Marshal! I was so impressed that I turned his picture into a video. It’s amazing what we can achieve when we combine creativity and technology. Keep up the great work, Nicholas—your ideas have the power to inspire!

I am like a tiger—strong, determined, and full of courage. Just as a tiger moves through the jungle with confidence, I face challenges with a fearless spirit. My sharp mind and keen instincts make me a natural leader, always ready to take on new adventures. Like a tiger, I am both powerful and graceful, proving that strength comes not just from physical ability but from a heart full of determination and a mind full of dreams. I will keep roaring—the world is mine to conquer!

Sounds like your monkey has a very imaginative way of seeing the world, Dimitris!
Is it secretly wearing a pair of rainbow-tinted invisible glasses? Or perhaps it’s just a very optimistic monkey—every jungle is colourful if you believe hard enough!

Nancy, this is purr-fection! I never knew I needed a pineapple cat in my life, but now I can’t imagine a world without it. Does it purr or just make a tropical thud when it jumps off the table?

Minimal Pair /ɪ/ and /i:/
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώνα
Below is a list of words that vary only by one having the sound /ɪ/
and the other the sound /i:/.
You can use this list to practise the sounds, or as a list of words to be careful in pronouncing.
As indicated by the /:/ part of its symbol, /i:/ is a longer sound than /ɪ/ and pronouncing it this way can help distinguish between the two in the pairs of words below. You will also notice, however, that /ɪ/ does not have a dot over it, making it a different mouth position from /i:/. The sound /i:/ is said with the mouth much more spread, something like a broad smile. This is why we say “cheese” rather than “chiz” (or “whizz”) when we take photos.

The Renaissance: A Time of Transformation
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώναWhen People Got Tired of the Dark Ages
and Started Painting Ceilings
The Renaissance was a period in history, roughly from the 14th to the 17th century, when art, science, and learning flourished in Europe. The word “Renaissance” means “rebirth” because people rediscovered and improved upon ideas from ancient Greece and Rome. During this time, great artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo created famous works, and scientists like Galileo made important discoveries. It was a time of new ideas, creativity, and progress.
Ιωάννα Λ.
Ah, the Renaissance—when people decided it was time to start painting, inventing, and thinking like geniuses! Leonardo da Vinci was out there sketching helicopters before helicopters even existed, Michelangelo was busy making ceilings look fancy, and Galileo was probably saying, “Hey guys, the Earth isn’t the centre of everything!” A time of rebirth, indeed. I just wish someone had invented pizza delivery back then!

Creativity Knows No Rules
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώνα
Hello, my name is Amaryllis. I have made a dinosaur picture with two of my favourite dinosaurs—a pterodactyl and Bigfoot. Both are made by hand using aluminium foil.
Αμαρυλλίς
There is a small issue in the sentence: Bigfoot is not actually a dinosaur; it’s a specific mythical creature.
Good catch! 🎯 Bigfoot might be a legendary forest dweller rather than a prehistoric giant, but hey—who’s to say he didn’t time-travel back to the dino days for a little adventure?
🦖
If Amaryllis wants him to be a dinosaur, who are we to argue? Creativity knows no rules.

Apollon Smyrnis: The football team I watch every Sunday.
Βασίλης
Nice! Apollon Smyrnis, or Apollo Smyrna, has a great history. Do you go to the stadium or watch the matches on telly? 😊
Apollon’s nickname, “The Light Brigade” (Η Ελαφρά Ταξιαρχία), became widely associated with the club in the late 1960s, particularly after the release of the 1968 British film The Charge of the Light Brigade, directed by Tony Richardson.
To this day, the name symbolises Apollon’s tradition of elegant football and the fighting spirit that defines the team.
