Art Exhibition – The fall of Icarus – Primary School of Pteleos, Greece

Posted on by Vivi Hamilou

Our 6th grade English coursebook introduces – or, even better, brings back to our memory – the myth of Daedalus and Icarus (Unit 4).

On p. 46, learners are invited to make their own painting of the fall of Icarus, having first commented on Pieter Brueghel’s painted landscape with the fall of Icarus, which was created in 1558 (oil on canvas, Musées Royaux des Beaux-arts de Belgique, Brussels), as well as a related poem.

Here are our learners’ pieces of art (Primary School of Pteleos)!

Let’s Learn English

Posted on by Vivi Hamilou

Let’s learn English is a blog that contains useful and inspiring resources for the teaching of English in Greek Primary Schools. Mr. Papadamos from Kastoria has done a remarkable job uploading materials, games and videos that can be used in class and are related to the curriculum currently used in Greek Primary Schools!

Everything uploaded in this blog has been categorized depending on the class that it may be used, making it thus easier for users (that can be either teachers or learners) to exploit its potentials! One of the most useful uploads in this blog is the vocabulary list (companion) of the first 4 or 5 units of each coursebook!

Keep up the good work Mr. Papadamos, it’s really inspiring! I’m definitely going to visit your blog with my learners one of those days!!!

@E.F.E. Team

Posted on by Vivi Hamilou

@E.F.E. Team is the name of a blog I recently (and fortunately I may add!) found on a late night research. It is related to the English materials Greek public schools use in the 6th grade and the writers of this blog are the actual writers of the coursebook itself (E.F.E. actually stands for Eleni Efremidou, Filitsa Frouzaki and Eleni-Zoe Reppa, that is the first letter of the first name of every writer)! There is plenty of information regarding the 6th grade English materials, suggestions and resources for teachers (lesson plans, tests, etc), interesting links and articles. Hope you find it as enlightening and as useful as I did!
