Masks for Carnival - Apokries Learning Party food in Greek

Carnival masks

An easy way for your pupils 

to make a mask

 is to use this template below.

Then pupils need to just colour it 

and they have fun.

The brighter the colours the better.

I loved that some pupils attached flowers.

With class we learned about party food in Greek. 

Pupils brought party food at school 

and they wrote labels for every plate.

We had "λεμονάδα, πορτοκαλάδα, πατατάκια, γαριδάκια, τυροπιτάκια, σπανακοπιτάκια, σοκολάτες".

It was Apokries, so time for party!

Learning animal names in Greek making masks for Apokries

This is an activity 

we did this week with one of my classes.

I was trying to find out how to combine 

learning animal names 

with the Apokries Carnival celebrations 

that take part this week. 

I am so blessed to have Varvara,

as my assistant in Year 1 class this year, 

and I was out of words 

when she brought at school 

these hand made animal masks 

for all our pupils. 

 Pupils were really excited 

while choosing their animal masks, 

colouring and putting them on their faces. 

This is our result.  

Are they adorable my little ones?

As you can see we did have

σκύλος -  dog

γάτα -  cat

κουνέλι - rabbit

λιοντάρι -lion

μαϊμού - monkey

αρκούδα - bear

Listen them to say what animal they are.

"Είμαι σκύλος..."

I think they did great!

Origami one sheet book for 3 Hierarches

The first time that I saw these 

origami book instructions,

I loved how easy and quick

 they are 

for someone to make them.

I was thinking of how my class 

can do these little books.

When I was looking around 

for this origami Pamphlet 

I found this link for "3-ιεράρχες".

I downloaded the sheet that was already there 

and I gave it to the pupils 

to colour it and 

write down some of the wise quotes 

3 Hierarches had said.

You can create every topic you want to, 

by simple following the template below:

 

And this is the result:

The pupils found it very easy and interesting 

and they were very exciting with the result.

I will definitely use this technique again!
