Mother's day flower magnet card

Mother’s day flower magnet card.

An activity for Mother’s Day.

This is a flower shape card.

This year I decided on

this magnet flower idea because

I wanted to create something

that mothers have a look at it every day.

And is there any better place than our fridge?

You will need scissors,

pink flower shape foam,

red paper (any colour will do),

magnetic self-adhesive tape,

double sided tape.

white paper.

First I cut out the coloured paper

in two circles

joined together.

I gave to pupils to fold the circles

at the joining point

and each child wrote

«Στην πιο καλή μαμά του κόσμου!

Τη δική μου!»

And then from inside each pupil wrote

“Σ’αγαπώ μανούλα μου γιατί …”

 following with their personal reasons

of why they love their mum.

After, they put at the back of the circle

the double-sided tape

and put the circle in the middle of the flower.

Lastly at the back of the foam flower

they put the magnetic tape.

 And some personal touching

on the flower petals,

 our cards are ready!

Learning colours making an Easter egg card.

Easter Cards.

A colourful activity for Easter.

Help pupils to learn the colours.

It is a card for Easter with an egg shape.

You will need scissors,

different coloured papers

(colours that I want my pupils to learn),

white paper and

white card paper.

First I cut out an egg shape

 from the plain white paper.

Then I cut

the different coloured papers

 in long stripes.

I asked each pupil to collect

in front of him/her

all the stripes with a specific colour.

«Μαρία βρες όλα τα κόκκινα χαρτάκια.

Κώστα βρες όλα τα πράσινα χαρτάκια.»

When they have finished,

 each pupil should asked from the other pupils

the exact coloured stripes they wanted,

 based on the pattern,

I gave in each pupil

 in the beginning of the activity.

When they were asking for the stripe

they used the following dialogue.

« -Μπορώ να έχω ένα κίτρινο, παρακαλώ;

-Ορίστε, ένα κίτρινο.

-Ευχαριστώ».

After they collected

all the colours they needed,

 I asked them

to take one yellow stripe

 to write the wish

«Καλό Πάσχα»

with a black marker.

And glued this yellow stripe

in the middle of the card.

They continued

with the rest of the stripes

 using the provided pattern.

 When all the egg shape paper

 was covered,

they turned it to the other way

 and used the scissors

 to cut the longer remaining stripes.

At the end, they folded

the white card paper in the middle

 and in front of the card

they glued the striped egg they made.

And these are some of our cards.

Greek Independence Day 1821 script

25^th March 1821

Greek Independence Day.

“Dance of Zalogo” 

script.

This is a script I used last week 

for one of my classes assembly. 

It's a short script because

 the time I had was limited.

You can use it for young classes 

especially when you have more girls than boys.

 So I gave 2 lines to each pupil to learn.

 The boys were the narrators

 and the girls were the "Souliotisses".

This story show to pupils 

how important is freedom.

These Greek women from Souli 

decided to jump down the Zalogo mountains 

from a steep cliff 

to avoid capture and enslavement, 

while signing 

and

 dancing the Greek folk song 

"Dance of Zalogo".

 After they sang all together the song,

  the girls danced the 

"Dance of Zalogo".

At the end each girl step on a chair 

and jump down it one after the other, 

after making their cross. 

It was really engaging for pupils 

to learn about this part of 

the Greek History 

and they did a lot of questions about it.

When working with the script 

I asked them 

how they feel about these women? 

 I was really impressed 

when I took the answer 

" We will probably do the same as we love to be free people!"
