SMELLS LIKE SUMMER
Οι μαθητές της Α Senior εμπνέονται από τις αλλαγές του καιρού
The Four Friends
When Spring is here
is warm and sunny.
The flowers are happy
and the leaves on trees too.
When Summer comes
it's hot and sunny.
We say "Goodbye" to school
and we welcome the sea and the sun.
It's Autumn now
the leaves are brown
and schools open.
Rain is coming!
Winter-Hooray
It's cold and snowing.
Santa Claus is coming
it's time for chocolate!
Anna, A Senior
The Four Seasons
In Autumn schools open, students are sad. Rain starts,we are not happy!Dark comes earlier.
In Winter it snows, it's very cold. Christmas comes,we sing Christmas songs.
In Spring the birds start songs, the flowers bloom, Easter comes, everybody is happy!
In Summer the schools close, the people come to the sea.It's very hot,we play all day!
Dennis, A Senior
The Four
When winter comes here
the snow is falling near!
Spring comes! Let's play!
Flowers bloom,hip hop hooray!
In the summer we have fun
under the sun!
We wear hot clothes in the autumn,
and the wind blows
In the roads the rain water floods around!
Melina, A Senior
Four Seasons
In the winter it is cold,
the children play in the snow and make a snowman
they are re happy because it is Christmas!
In Spring is sunny and warm,
the children are happy because the flowers bloom
the leaves are on the trees and we all love the birds singing.
In the summer it is hot, very hot!
the children love the summer and the sea.
We go to the beach or in the pool and swim.
In the autumn we are sad,
no leaves on the trees, the sky is not clear
and school is near!

The 4 Seasons
When it's spring
birds think
let's open our wings
When it's summer
the drummer
drums every where
When it's autumn and it rains
goes fast the train.
In the winter it snows,
and the wind blows.

When autumn comes

It's winter now

Pick a flower, I'm lying down on the grass
Animals , insects, pigeons and many more.
Summer
It's boiling hot! It's sunny and I swim
Come and play with me

on the beach, under the sun!

Oh! I can't see you!
You can't see me!
It's so foggy me friend!
I'm so sad because I can't see you!
Oh my sun! Where are you?
by Cleio

When summer comes in

They eat ice cream and they fave fun.
Children enjoy summer a lot
and cry when it's not!

Extreme cooking, by Alexander
I believe that I could do cooking as extreme sport. I would do
extreme cooking on the top of a mountain , on a boat in the middle of the sea
and even inside a submarine. Of course, I would need a pat, a knife, a spoon, a
fork and a cooker together with the ingredients.
Mop Hockey, by John
In 19/02/2017, John Xydonas discovered Mop Hockey, one of the
most popular games. There are three players in every team. The stadium is like
a room but with two goalposts. You have to get the ball into the goalpost while
you mop the floor. The winner is the one who will get the ball into the goalpost and
mop the floor at the same time.
Popular teams: Atletico Mop, Real Mop, R.M.T (Real Team Moto)

Don't Miss the Patra's Carnival, by Helen
The Carnival is just round the corner! So, in order to signal the beginning of the Carnival time, one of our B Senior students, Helen, wrote a few things about the Greek customs and traditions associated with this celebration.
Every year in Patra there is a carnival. It's the greatest and the most famous carnival in Greece. People of every age group take part in the carnival events. There are carnival balls, masqued balls and parties at home, in neighbourhoods, clubs, cafeterias and restaurants.
The most spectacular event is the Ground Parade. It begins at around 2 pm on the Sunday before Clean Monday with many satirical floats, each one with a specific theme. The costumes are designed to suit each theme. Around 33-4.000 people take part in the parade and dance to the rhythm of the music played by the band.

The Missing Orange Juice, by Vasiliki
After reading a poem about an orange juice thief (by British Council), students were asked to write the same story but this time with a different ending. We also discussed ways of punishing offenders; we must admit that all the students proved to be very resourceful.. and perfectly lawful, if we might add!
Read Vasiliki's story below to get an idea of what we are talking about! As seen from her own version of the story...
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we get a carton of orange juice and a pint of milk, but one Monday morning I went out and I saw that my orange juice wasn't there. It was only the milk. I thought the milkman's forgotten to deliver the orange juice.
On Tuesday, I got up the same time as the milkman comes to our house. When he came I told him:
"Hey, why did you forget to deliver the orange juice yesterday?"
"I delivered it, sir" he said.
"No, you didn't!"
"I remember that I delivered it" he said again.
"It wasn't there when I came to take it."
So I got another one off him.
On Wednesday, same thing again.There was no orange juice, only a pint of milk. On Thursday, I was waiting for the milkman but when he came he told me that he delivered the orange juice. So I started thinking that someone is nicking my sweet and beautiful orange juice. So I made a plan to catch the thief!
I was waiting for hours when I saw the milkman run to my house really fast! He was ready to take my orange juice when at the same time I jumped out and I told him "So you're the thief! I'll call the police!"
"Please, not the police! Not again! I have been to prison four times for the same reason!" he said .
"It's too late now, orange juice thief!" I said.

An Unusual Building I Like, by Melina
Our classroom is populated with many talented young artists and writers, it seems. After we had come across a couple of passages about some very bizarre buildings from around the world, Melina, an A Senior student, wrote a letter to one of her friends describing a very unusual building she knew of - an apple house! Read on and tell us in the comments below if you would like to live in such a house.
Hi Angela,
I have to write to you about this! In Germany, there is a very unusual home. It is a house in the shape of an apple. Yes, an apple! The apple house is a three-storey house. It has two bedrooms. There is also a kitchen and a living room, and three bathrooms.
Outside, there is a beautiful garden with many flowers. The house is made of wood and metal. It isn't a home any more. It is a restaurant. You can buy any food now. You should see it. It is very strange, but I like it.
Bye,
Melina

Let's all sing Lambrini's song!
Lambrini, inspired by a song in the B Junior coursebook, wrote her very own lyrics about her likes and dislikes. She even accompanied her assignment with a cute little alien seemingly dancing to the upbeat music of the song. Lambrini manages to prove that, indeed, writing is lots of fun!

My Ideal Neighbourhood, by Elias & Cleo
After being introduced to fictitious stories, B Junior students were asked to write about an ideal neighbourhood. Here you will have the chance to learn more about what Elias and Cleo's ideal neighbourhoods look like.
It is our firm belief that assigning such tasks (familiar, yet imaginative; simple, yet challenging) helps spur pupils' imagination and boost their creativity - two traits that prove highly valuable in school and later on in life.

My Superhero, by Alexander
When Alexander had to write about Spiderman, he decided to accompany his assignment with a drawing of his favourite superhero. Like many of his classmates, Alexander is a young artist in the making, don't you agree?

Gulliver's Travels, by Jason
After reading Gulliver's Travels on the BBC website, pupils were asked to summarise the episodes they had seen. Below is just a sample of Jason's amazing work.
Episode 1
Doctor Gulliver was a healthy man that lived in London with his wife and their two children. One day a friend knocks on the door asking Gulliver if he needs a job for a lot of money. Gulliver and his family were really poor, so he answered "yes". His friend explained to him that they will go on a trip by ship and that the journey will be long.
The next day Doctor Gulliver and the others started their journey. In the middle of the journey, they were somewhere near the East Indies when a terrible storm hit! The crew jumped in boats, but a big wave smashed them into a rock.
Episode 2
Gulliver wakes up on an island. A really small man with a bow and arrow is in front of him. Then a lot of little men like the one in front of Gulliver come out of their hiding spots. They were talking in a strange language. Gulliver showed them his mouth to tell them to bring food. In a little bit they brought him a lot of fruit. He ate every single one! But they had put a sleeping potion in the food, so Gulliver fell asleep. When Gulliver woke up, he was in a temple tied up.
