Erasmus+ 2019 2nd Junior High School “Vasilopita” cake cutting in Erasmus multipurpose room!
New Year traditional greek “vasilopita” cake for 2019 Erasmus+ celebration!
“Vasilopita” cake cutting on Friday February 1st in our Erasmus multipurpose classroom!
We had the opportunity to exchange new year wishes, talk about the upcoming travelling of our students to Genova, have a little treat and share news and work progress of our project with students, their families and teachers involved in the project!
Vasilopita, as a New Year Greek tradition , is cut by families on New Year’s Day or any day of the fisrt two months of the year for groups, schools, institutions, organisations etc. to bless the house , group, or organisation etc. and bring good luck for the new year! When it is only for homes this is usually done at midnight of New Year’s Eve in Greece.
A coin is hidden in the vasilopita cake by slipping it into the dough before baking. A piece of cake is sliced for each member of the family or group etc. and any visitors present at the time.
During our event here for our Erasmus project team, we did cut pieces for the 3 partner schools and then for the Greek students and teachers participating in the project in our school who will attend the meeting and celebration with their parents. First two pieces were cut for Goethe Gymnasium and Galileo Galilei High School!
But the lucky one to find the coin finally was our student Sofia Kondylopoulou .
Have all a great new Erasmus European Schools Go Green Year 2019!

School projects information and application form by Fotokiklosi (in greek only):
Eratosthenes Experiment preparations! Sun energy , Physics , Math and… Art !!!
The infamous Eratosthenes experiment, was conducted more than 2200 years ago, by the synonymous Greek mathematician and geographer, using only a stick, a measuring tape, feet and brains!
It is highly educational and can be implemented rather easily nowadays, and also adapted to our Erasmu+ project ccoperation and become a common project , combining fun and science!
Mr Grigoris Vassilopoulos , Physics teacher from 2nd Junior High School who had the idea and organises the common experiment suggests that the experiment should take place around the time of the spring equinox, March 21st , keeping in mind that there is a better chance of good weather conditions then, too !
The main reason is that in a few days after that, our students will meet in Genoa and the whole thing will be fresh in their minds to exchange thoughts and ideas, or to give a presentation to each other.
So the experiment might take place between 18th and 22nd of March.
Here you can find material about
Who Eratosthenes was and how the experiment will be conducted, teacher’s guide etc:
And also the worksheets that students from all partner schools will have with them during the action
as well as some instructions as how the experiment will be conducted:
Here are also some photos of last year’s experiment too with students and teacher Grigoris Vassilopoulos instructions (along with the Sun Stencil Art by Erasmus team students 13 years old and Fine Arts teacher Andreou Aikaterini , a parallel art project that could be repeated this year too but this year with Erasmus portrait sun stencil! ) :
you can watch informational video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8cbIWMv0rI
and the experiment in our school 3 years ago , in an unedited draft video in greek language ( the experiment is conducted every year in our school, this is part 2 , you can watch the part 1 in our school 2nd Junior High School of Amaliada youtube channel) :
