Evaluating the project



The school year is almost at the end. Our eTwinning project gave us the opportunity to get a little closer, know about each other and become familiarized with foreign languages.
Although English was the main vehicle for our communication, we presented some pieces of our languages, words, meanings, sounds, recordings with the help of several ICT tools.
As a final activity, we and our students will contribute on the padlet sharing our feelings for the project and our web-hosted friendship.
It was a pleasure to meet you and work with you all.
Happy summer holidays!

Skype meeting of Drama Greece and Kobiernice Poland

Few days we had an online meeting with Polish students. In our discusion through skype we had a good time.At the begining there were some technival problems with our microphone.When the problem was solved we were able to comnunicate and ask them about their school and their life there.We learned that there are a few pupils in their class and they have differend lessons from us.They asked us how many pupils there are in our school and how beautiful our scool is. We were impresed by the fact that students in Poland have pets in their classrooms. In the end we said goodbye to eachother and promised to comnunicate in the future.

another meeting on skype

One month ago, one of our partners, Cigdem, got transferred to a new school. So unfortunately, Saimecadin primary school is not in our partnership any more :(
Yet, the pupils in Cigdem's new school wanted to know about us and our project and we arranged a meeting on skype on Wednesday. We introduced ourselves, exchanged information about our schools, we laughed and had a great time. 
The pupils from Kazım Orbay Primary school sung for us a lovely song as you can see in the video bellow. Two girls also played for us a nice melody with their musical instruments.
As my pupils noticed, our school is very small compared to the Turkish school which had more than 1200 pupils! My pupils enjoyed it because they finally overcome their shyness and embarrassment and managed to speak in English. They wished we could have more meetings using skype. Well, maybe next year, in a next project ;)

Skype meeting between Greece and Lithuania

Today we had another skype meeting, this time with the pupils from Lithuania.
A bit shy at first but curious enough to gather around the web camera. We started by introducing ourselves and we exchanged some information about our schools, the lessons, and the time schedule. We found many similarities! It was a pleasant feeling to know these similarities.
Yet, there are differences like the weather which is not the same. In Greece the temperature has started to rise!
Add to that, we found out that we do not have the same currency. So we had the opportunity to present to each other some coins and banknotes. In Greece is the Euro and in Lithuania is the Litas.
According to the myth, Europe was a beautiful princess, who was abducted by Zeus. Zeus one day saw Europe among other young women and was so struck by her beauty and her charms that he transformed into a bull and made her sit on his back and went to Crete. Europe's myth inspired many artists and eventually she became immortal after her name was given to the continent.

Skype meeting between Greece and Spain

chat with our e-Twinning friends
Today we were very happy to meet our friends from spain online via the Skype tool.
There were some sound and connection problems of minor importance since schools do not always have the best technical equipment but it was not that serious.
Although the pupils were a bit shy and embarrassed to speak in English in front of a camera, they enjoyed the meeting very much. For more than an hour we exchanged information about our school life and learned a lot from each other. Once again we realised that we have so many similarities even though we live so far from each other. 
It was a great experience! Cheers :-)

Spanish - Greek omelette

Yesterday Markella's parents contributed to our project by preparing for us the Spanish omelette.
As Markella said, her father went to buy the ingredients and early in the morning her mother started to chop and fry the potatoes. It was almonst 1.15 p.m when her father showed up in our class whith the delicious omelette. We were so hungry and happy that the omelette was gone very fast.
We realised once again that all countries participating in this project  have so many common things to join us!



Add to that, parents feel pleased to contribute in their children's school life :-)

Skype meeting between Greece and Turkey

The original idea of trying a skype meeting was from Cigdem and the pupils of Saimekadin.
Drama and Ankara are on the same time zone so there was no particular problem to arrange our meeting. Tuesday 10a.m. We sang native songs, asked questions and learned a lot from each other. We had a great time so we thought to repeat these meetings with the other eTwinning partners too.

Bellow there is a brief video from Saimekadin pupils.

Most families eat at least 3-4 times per month such a soup.
While served in a deep plate or bowl, many people like to add some drops of vinegar.
We hope that you will try it and like it as we do :)

Christmas carols from Romania


Carol is one of the most popular winter traditions .


Winter Carols are songs to celebrate Christian ritual texts , dedicated to Christmas and New Year. Their origin is lost in the ancient history of our people. Over the centuries they became more beautiful and have gained a great variety throughout the country . They transmit a festive atmosphere and mood that all Romanians welcome the Nativity Feast and New Year.

Recalling when the birth of Jesus , the star that guided the three wise men appeared in the sky , children go from house to house singing carols and carrying with them a star.

“Pluguşorul” is an ancient custom that, in New Year's Eve , groups of children go to people's houses and speak different wishes . They are accompanied by a small plough , hence the name of the carol .

The news of the Savior is widespread carols each year falling in each house by carol singers . These hosts are rewarded with fruit (apples , walnuts ) , coils , candy and even money .

 
 

Sarbatori fericite tuturor!

 Happy New year to all!

2014 IS COMING¡

In Spain, it was a tradition that children and young people sang carols door to door or at the main streets. Nowadays we sing carols with the family, especially in Christmas Eve.
 A lot of children learn carols at schools and sing them in festivals. This is not a traditional carol, but it's that we’re preparing for our school: “La luz que nace en ti”. It’s sung by La oreja de Van Gogh, a Spanish pop music group. If you you like you can watch the original video in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZffLB6Mu8b4
 From Spain we wish you  HAPPY / FELIZ / SZCZĘŚLIWY / MUTLU / Ευτυχισμένο /FELICE / FERICIT / LAIMINGAS 2014!

Traditional Greek carols

On Christmas and New Year's eve, part of the tradition is to sing carols from door to door. The carols are mostly wishes for health, prosperity, good luck and blessing. There are hundreds of different carols from all regions of Greece, both mainland and islands.
In the video that follows we sang a traditional carol from Ikaria island (Agean sea).
The lyrics of this carol are wishes to the master of the house to see his children grow up and be beautiful, successful and all family to be wealthy and happy. In exchange for the good wishes, the singers ask from the householder to treat them with wine ("Valte mas krasi na pioume" = βάλτε μας κρασί να πιουμε...).

Valuable help for rehearsal and performing was our music teacher Thanasis Koulentianos. The traditional musical instrument he has is named Kanun (or Qanun) [see info in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qanun_(instrument)]

Happy holidays! Καλές γιορτές!
