Athena, this painting by Delacroix is a powerful tribute to the Greek spirit—resilient, proud and unwavering in the face of adversity. Greece stands tall, embodying the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom.
Let this masterpiece remind us that strength and hope can overcome even the darkest times!
Nafplio is a coastal city located in the Peloponnese in Greece. It is the capital of the regional unit of Argolis and an important tourist destination. The city, under Venetian rule, twice repelled Ottoman attacks and sieges, first by Mehmed the Conqueror during the Ottoman–Venetian War. Count Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first head of state of newly liberated Greece, set foot on the Greek mainland for the first time in Nafplio on 7 January 1828 and made it the official capital of Greece in 1829. He was assassinated on 9 October 1831 by members of the Mavromichalis family on the steps of the Church of Saint Spyridon in Nafplio. After his assassination, a period of anarchy followed, until the arrival of King Otto and the establishment of the new Kingdom of Greece. Nafplio remained the capital of the kingdom until 1834, when King Otto decided to move the capital to Athens.
YOU MUST VISIT NAFPLIO!

Looks like Nafplio has seen a lot of drama in its time—sieges, assassinations, and a royal game of “Who’s the capital now?” But hey, it’s still got that Mediterranean charm, even if it had to hand over the capital title to Athens. Maybe Nafplio was just too cool to be tied down to one job!

Our school has been decorated with an impressive graffiti artwork, thanks to a wonderful initiative by the Parents’ Association. The colours and designs revitalised the school premises, making them even more vibrant and inviting. As if that weren’t enough, the children’s imagination ran wild when a trumpet blared, creating a unique atmosphere!

Some English speakers pronounce sandwich as samwich (or sammich in very casual speech), but the standard pronunciation is /ˈsæn(d).wɪtʃ/. The /d/ sound is often softened or dropped in fast, informal speech, which is why samwich can be heard, especially in some dialects. However, in formal settings or careful speech, sandwich is the correct pronunciation.

Today has been theatre day for our pupils in Years 3 to 6.
We watched Little Women, a timeless novel of classic literature brought to life on stage at the Alambra Theatre, adapted and directed by Athena Chatziathanassiou.
A cast of seven talented actors; period costumes and inventive stage design; a striking musical backdrop featuring original compositions and contemporary arrangements; expressive movement, choreography, and atmospheric lighting—these were just some of the elements that fascinated us.
Louisa May Alcott’s novel was written in 1868, yet it feels as though it could have been written today.
A journey towards adulthood, a voyage of self-discovery, a story of love and solidarity—set against the backdrop of the American Civil War—unfolded through the lives of the four March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy.
“What will you be when you grow up?” That ever-important question for every child. As if being a child is not being someone, but simply a stage before one becomes someone. Quite a burden for such “small” shoulders to bear!
The young ladies and gentlemen of the story make their choices. They decide who they will be, despite the obstacles, and embark on their own paths to adulthood—with mistakes that turn into determination and disappointments that turn into joy.

In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages, or medieval period, lasted approximately from the 5th to the late 15th century. The Roman Empire reached its greatest territorial extent during the 2nd century AD. The following two centuries witnessed the slow decline of Roman control over its outlying territories. As Western Europe saw the formation of new kingdoms, the Eastern Roman Empire remained intact and experienced an economic revival that lasted into the early 7th century. There were fewer invasions in the eastern section of the empire; most occurred in the Balkans.

Paul, if only the Romans had you as their strategist, maybe their empire wouldn’t have declined so fast! Or at least, they could have built a few extra walls to keep those invaders out.

Forget about the galaxy-saving missions; this 10-inch Squishmallow is all about beach vibes, fruity drinks, and relaxing under the sun. He’s ready to “hug” his way through every adventure, from surfing the waves to taking naps in the shade.
If only he could teach us how to be as chill as him!
The name “Squishmallow” comes from combining the words “squish” and “mallow,” which refers to a soft, marshmallow-like feel. Squishmallows are known for being super soft, plush toys that you can squeeze and hug, offering comfort and a cuddly experience. As for “Stitch,” it’s a reference to the character from Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, who is an adorable, mischievous alien. So, “Squishmallow Stitch” is a cuddly, squishy version of the beloved character, perfect for hugging and squeezing!
Lilo has given him the name “Stitch” because she sees him as a new part of her family, much like someone stitching together pieces to make something whole. The name symbolizes how he helped mend the broken parts of Lilo’s life, especially after the loss of her parents. It also reflects his mischievous and chaotic nature—he “stitches” trouble into situations but ultimately brings people together.

The surgeon stitched the patient up. Ο χειρουργός έραψε τον ασθενή.
I knew I’d been stitched up. Ήξερα ότι είχα πέσει θύμα απάτης.
