 Hamlet's visit to our school!
Image result for shakespeare

Today, the 5th and 6th classes of our school attended a special theatrical play; a comic adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' in English!
 After a number of preparatory lessons the students were already familiar with the plot, the characters and the playwright himself. What followed was this lovely 60-minute theatrical performance which had everything: laughter, singing, madness, love, death, swords, fighting, a puppet show and even... a rat! The kids laughed a lot, participated in the play, sang and, in the end, rapped with Hamlet, Gertrude and Ophelia about the question 'To be or not to be?'! Eventually, they prefered 'to be'!

For most students it was the first time they got to see an English-speaking play so they didn't really know what to expect... Would they be able to follow? Well, they did just fine and they really enjoyed the play, as they said!

YOUNG POETS!

Kids love expressing themselves through poetry as long as they are prompted to write about something they are REALLY interested in!

So, after getting rid of the rhyme (!), the 6th Graders were inspired by their favourite objects and produced comic, free verse little poems!

My electric guitar
Oh, my electric guitar!
Someone is playing and a beauiful sound
is coming to my ears.
It feels so wooden,
it tastes spray on wood,
it looks so nice I can't let go of it!

My Nintendo!
Oh, my sweet Nintendo!
Out of the desk, it looks shiny and red
it smells nothing!
It feels like a rock in my hands.
I think it tastes plastic.
The sound of Super Mario sounds happy,
I can even imagine myself playing for 2 hours!

by Chrissoula

My Muffin!

My lego airplane
Oh, my favourite lego warm airplane!
It looks so big! 
It looks red and black.
It feels hard but there isn't any harm!
When you watch it, it looks like an F-16
and I can make it without any help!

My favourite chocolate
Oh, my favourite chocolate with strawberry flavour!
Off the newsagent's, it looks tempting

It feels pretty and hard in my hands.
It tastes soft in my mouth.
It sounds by far the best, 
better than all the rest!

by Lidia S.

My football
Oh, my favourite football
in the pitch you look so round 
and smell so grassy!
You feel hard in my hands,
you taste like rubber
and sound so jumpy.
Oh, I will never betray you
my lovely football! 

by Angel P.

You smell from a hundred miles away from my granny's home.

You smell great in all the noses!
Ahhhhhh, I have nothing more to say about you, muffin.

6TH GRADE PRESENTATIONS ABOUT OUR SCHOOL

Alex, Chrissoula, Georgia, Zenia and Zoe worked hard to prepare presentations about our school and weekly timetable! What motivated them was their wish to show their transatlantic friends in Bellevue, USA, what a (productive!) Primary School in Greece looks like!
