Τα Χριστούγεννα του Σκρουτζ

Our school attended the theatrical performance of A Christmas Carol this morning at the Piraeus 131 Theatre, with Manos Pintzis in the lead role. It was a truly unforgettable experience, full of colour, music, and emotion. The children were captivated by the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a man who, albeit late in life, came to understand the true meaning of generosity, charity, and love.
The production conveyed this message in such a vivid way that many children later said they felt as if they were part of the story themselves! They were particularly impressed by the songs, the set design, and the lighting, which perfectly recreated the atmosphere of Charles Dickens’ London.

In 2015, a group of 10-year-old kids formed a secret club called “The Unstoppable Squad.” They weren’t the coolest or the strongest kids in school, but they were determined to prove that teamwork could win against all odds.
It all started on his birthday, when Max, the leader of the squad, received a mysterious box at 6:00 o’clock in the evening. Inside was an invitation to the annual “Big Brains and Brave Hearts Challenge,” a competition that would take place on May 15th. Max’s eyes sparkled. “This is it, guys! We’re going to show everyone we’ve got what it takes!”
The squad spent weeks preparing. They met on weekdays, after school, brainstorming ideas in the evening and practising their skills at night under the glow of a small lamp. “We’ll crush the obstacle course,” said Sophie, the fastest kid in the squad. “And I’ll handle the riddles,” added Chloe, the team’s puzzle expert.
The big day came on May 15th, and it was pouring rain. “Great,” mumbled Liam. “In autumn, it’s mud. In winter, it’s frost. And now this?” But Max grinned. “Rain or shine, we’re unstoppable!”
The competition began. In the first round, teams had to navigate a maze filled with clues. Despite slipping in the mud and losing one shoe, Sophie darted through the maze like lightning. The squad was ahead!
Next, they had to solve riddles inside a spooky tent. Chloe cracked the codes in no time, even though a creepy puppet tried to distract her by whispering, “You’ll never make it!” She just laughed and kept going.
The final challenge was building a tower with marshmallows and spaghetti. The Squad’s tower wobbled dangerously, but Liam saved the day by sticking some marshmallows in his mouth to lighten the load.
Finally, it was time for the results. On Christmas Day, Max remembered his grandma’s advice: “Winning is about giving your all, not about the trophy.” But still, he hoped.
“And the winners are…” the announcer paused dramatically, “The Unstoppable Squad!”
The kids erupted with joy. They celebrated at the weekend, eating the leftover marshmallows and drinking hot chocolate. “We did it!” they cheered.
As they walked home in the evening, Sophie grinned. “We really are unstoppable.”
“Let’s do this again next year,” Max said. “In September, let’s start training!”
And so, with muddy shoes and marshmallow-stuffed smiles, The Unstoppable Squad proved that no matter the season or the challenge, they could overcome anything together.

Jim: Hi there! Are you new here?
Simon: Yeah, I’ve started today. I’m Simon.
Jim: Nice to meet you, Simon. I’m Jim. How are you finding the school so far?
Simon: It’s pretty cool! I already like it way better than my old school.
Jim: Really? What didn’t you like about your old school?
Simon: It just wasn’t a good place for me. Anyway, what do you usually do after school?
Jim: I usually play football with my friends. Do you like football?
Simon: Yeah, I love it! But I don’t really know anyone here yet.
Jim: Don’t worry, you’ll make friends in no time. Why don’t you join us for a game this afternoon?
Simon: That sounds awesome! Thanks, Jim.
Jim: No problem. See you after school!

The Great Mix-Up Mystery
Συντάκτης: Κων/νος Βούλγαρης | Κάτω από: Εκπαίδευση στον 21ο αιώνα
Η λύση στην άσκηση 2 της σελ. 10 του βιβλίου Pupil’s Workbook (ΣΤ′ τάξη). Ακολουθεί μία ιστορία γεμάτη απρόοπτα, βασισμένη στην ίδια άσκηση.
Here’s the matching for where you can find each item:
a. A watch and a bracelet – jeweller’s
b. A bunch of flowers – florist’s
c. A newspaper – newsagent’s
d. A pen and envelopes – stationer’s
e. Stamps – post office
One sunny morning, Mrs Perkins strolled through the town square, intending to run a few errands. Little did she know, this would be the most confusing day of her life!
Her first stop was the jeweller’s to pick up a watch she’d left for repair. When she entered, the jeweller, looking flustered, handed her a bunch of flowers instead.
“Erm, I think there’s been a mistake,” Mrs Perkins began.
“No mistake!” the jeweller whispered, wide-eyed. “That’s from the florist! They said it’s urgent!”
Scratching her head, Mrs Perkins carried the flowers to the florist’s, hoping to solve the mystery. But there, the florist handed her a shiny bracelet and whispered, “Take this to the newsagent’s! Quick!”
Now thoroughly puzzled, Mrs Perkins dashed to the newsagent’s, where the owner thrust a newspaper into her hands and said, “Take this to the stationer’s before it’s too late!”
At the stationer’s, Mrs Perkins expected answers. Instead, the shopkeeper handed her a pen and a stack of envelopes. “These need to go to the post office immediately!”
When she reached the post office, clutching the flowers, bracelet, newspaper, pen, and envelopes, the postmaster grinned. “Ah, Mrs Perkins! You’ve passed the town’s secret kindness test. Here are your stamps as a reward!”
“Stamps? I just wanted my watch!”
The postmaster laughed. “It’s in the flowers. We hid it for fun!” Sure enough, there it was, tucked neatly into the bouquet.
From then on, Mrs Perkins became the local hero for solving the town’s silliest scavenger hunt. She never looked at a watch—or a bunch of flowers—the same way again.
In a metaphorical sense, the word “scavenger” is sometimes used in games or activities, like a scavenger hunt, where “scavengers” search for specific items or clues.
παιχνίδι ανεύρεσης αντικειμένων
Scavenger hunt: Focuses on finding multiple items or completing tasks. It’s a list-based activity.
κυνήγι θησαυρού
Treasure hunt: Involves solving clues and riddles to locate a single hidden treasure.
Both are fun, but scavenger hunts are usually faster-paced and simpler, while treasure hunts tend to feel like solving a mystery or a puzzle.
They can take place indoors, outdoors, or even online, and they’re often used for parties, team-building events, or educational purposes. They’re a fun way to explore, think creatively, and collaborate!
πτωματοφάγο, σαπροφάγο ζώο
A scavenger is an animal or organism that feeds on dead or decaying matter, like plants or animals. In nature, scavengers play an important role in ecosystems by cleaning up organic waste and recycling nutrients back into the environment.
Examples of scavengers—
Animals: Vultures, hyenas, raccoons, and certain types of crabs.
Insects: Beetles and flies often consume decaying organic matter.
Marine life: Some fish and sea creatures, like shrimp, also scavenge for dead remains.
ρακοσυλλέκτης
The term “scavenger” can also be used more broadly to describe a person who collects discarded or unwanted items, often to reuse or recycle them. For example, someone searching through rubbish to find recyclable materials could be called a scavenger.
