Το σχολείο μας συμμετέχει ενεργά σε προγράμματα E-Τwinning από το 2016.
Το eTwinning είναι η Κοινότητα για τα σχολεία στην Ευρώπη.
Σχολεία από διαφορετικές Ευρωπαϊκές χώρες, κάνοντας χρήση εργαλείων Τεχνολογιών Πληροφορίας και Επικοινωνιών (ΤΠΕ), συνεργάζονται ώστε να αποκομίσουν παιδαγωγικά, κοινωνικά και πολιτισμικά οφέλη.
Η δράση eTwinning δίνει στα σχολεία την ευκαιρία να μάθουν μαζί, να μοιραστούν τις απόψεις τους και να δημιουργήσουν καινούργιες φιλίες.
Φέτος δεχτήκαμε πρόσκληση να συμμετέχουμε στο έργο με τίτλο Let's Celebrate!
Ας γιορτάσουμε!
Ας γιορτάσουμε γιορτές… φεστιβάλ… παραδόσεις σε όλη την Ευρώπη!
Αυτό είναι ένα έργο Νηπιαγωγείου και Δημοτικού όπου τα μικρά μας δημιουργούν ένα συλλογικό ημερολόγιο εορτασμών σε κάθε χώρα, ενώ δείχνουν ο ένας στον άλλο μια ποικιλία από παραδόσεις όπως παιχνίδια, φαγητό, τραγούδια και φύση-περιβάλλον.
Τον Οκτώβριο έγινε η πρώτη διαδικτυακή συνάντηση γνωριμίας συνεργατών όπου η Ιδρύτρια του έργου Jeanette Cardona από την Μάλτα
μας παρουσίασε την δομή του έργου και τις μηνιαίες εργασίες.
Έγινε σχετική ενημέρωση των γονέων και κηδεμόνων και ζητήθηκε η συναίνεση τους.
Μιλήσαμε στα παιδιά για την κοινότητα του etwining, των
οποίων κάποια ήδη γνώριζαν από την προηγούμενη χρονιά .
Μιλήσαμε ζωγραφίσαμε και παίξαμε με τα γράμματα του etwinning και τα βάλαμε στη σειρά.
Κάναμε και μία ακροστιχίδα του ονόματος eTwinning με ονόματα ζώων
Και δημιουργήσαμε την γωνιά του έργου μας
Στο έργο Συμμετέχουν: Εκπαιδευτικοί από την
Μάλτα (3), Ρουμανία (2), Ισπανία (2), Ελλάδα (2), Βέλγιο (1)
Στόχοι του προγράμματος
Ο κύριος στόχος αυτού του έργου είναι να κατανοήσουν τα παιδιά ότι ο κόσμος γύρω μας είναι πολύ σημαντικός για εμάς και είναι πλούσιος σε γιορτές και παραδόσεις.
Από την άλλη πλευρά, θα συνειδητοποιήσουν επίσης ότι υπάρχουν άλλα παιδιά σε όλη την Ευρώπη των οποίων ο «κόσμος γύρω τους» μπορεί να είναι διαφορετικός αλλά εξακολουθεί να είναι ενδιαφέρον να μάθουν.
Θα γιορτάσουμε τις διαφορές μας και θα διασκεδάσουμε μαθαίνοντας.
Τα Αναμενόμενα Αποτελέσματα θα είναι
Ένα συλλογικό ημερολόγιο, συλλογικά βιβλία, padlets, βίντεο και βιντεοδιασκέψεων.
Όλα τα αποτελέσματα θα μεταμορφωθούν και στο TwinSpace.
Αυτός είναι ο σύνδεσμος για το Έγγραφο Google με όλες τις δραστηριότητες που σκοπεύουμε να κάνουμε.
https://www.canva.com/design/DAGSgD82phw/xpHNc0jc6FTDcoE1BDtiXQ/edit
Ξεκινήσαμε να αναζητάμε στο χάρτη τις χώρες που συμμετέχουν στο έργο και μαθαίναμε κάποια χαρακτηριστικά αυτών.
Όπως πρωτεύουσα,σημαία,εθνόσημο,αξιοθέατα.
Ξεκινήσαμε με την Μάλτα
Μας έκανε εντύπωση το κάστρο στη Βαλέτα και πρώτα το σχεδιάσαμε και στη συνέχεια το οικοδομήσαμε !!!
Περάσαμε στην Ρουμανία ...φτιάξαμε και παίξαμε με τα χρώματα της σημαίας τους
Μιλήσαμε για το κάστρο του κόμη Δράκουλα .
Το κάστρο Μπραν (ρουμανικά: Castelul Bran) είναι κάστρο το οποίο βρίσκεται κοντά στο χωριό Μπραν, Κομητεία Μπρασόβ, στην κεντρική Ρουμανία. Το κάστρο κατασκευάστηκε τον 13ο αιώνα από το Τευτονικό Τάγμα και σήμερα αποτελεί εθνικό μνημείο της Ρουμανίας. Βρίσκεται στα όρια Τρανσυλβανίας και Βλαχίας. Συχνά αναφέρεται ως το «κάστρο του Κόμη Δράκουλα».
Το κάστρο σήμερα λειτουργεί ως μουσείο.
Με την δική μας φαντασία ζωγραφίσαμε την συνέχεια αυτού του κάστρου.
Σειρά είχε η Ισπανία
Το εθνόσημο της μας έδωσε την αφορμή να μιλήσουμε για τις Ηράκλειες στήλες , και να ακούσουμε το Μύθο με τα Βόδια του Γυριόνη
Τέλος αναφερθήκαμε στο Βέλγιο
Μας έκανε εντύπωση το άγαλμα του Manneken Pis στις Βρυξέλλες
και του χαρίσαμε τις δικές μας ενδυμασίες.Αστυνόμο ,Αστεράκι,Spiderman και Ναυτάκι.
Αποτυπώσαμε όλες μας τις γνώσεις για τις συνεργαζόμενες χώρες πάνω στο χάρτη της Ευρώπης και κάναμε την ανάλογη αντιστοίχιση
Κάναμε αντιστοίχιση μνημείων με μινιατούρες από διάφορες χώρες της Ευρώπης και εμπλουτίσαμε την γωνιά του προγράμματος μας.
Στο τέλος αφιερώσαμε χρόνο στην χώρα μας
και αναφερθήκαμε στο σπουδαίο μνημείο της χώρας μας τον Παρθενώνα.
Ο Παρθενώνας είναι ένας αρχαίος ελληνικός ναός χτισμένος στην Ακρόπολη της Αθήνας.
Είναι κατασκευασμένος από λευκό πεντελικό μάρμαρο και ήταν αφιερωμένος στη θεά Αθηνά, την προστάτιδα της πόλης των Αθηνών.
Η κατασκευή του ξεκίνησε το 447 π.Χ. με απόφαση του Αθηναίου πολιτικού Περικλή.
Οι αρχιτέκτονες ήταν ο Ικτίνος και ο Καλλικράτης, ενώ υπεύθυνος για τα γλυπτά ήταν ο Φειδίας.
Η κατασκευή ολοκληρώθηκε το 438 π.Χ. και τα τελευταία αγάλματα τοποθετήθηκαν το 432 π.Χ.
Είναι ένα κτήριο δωρικού αρχιτεκτονικού ρυθμού, που όμως συνδυάζει στοιχεία και του Ιωνικού.
Τα γλυπτά μπορούν να χωριστούν σε τρεις κατηγορίες: τις μετόπες, τα αετώματα και τη ζωφόρο.
Η είσοδος στον κυρίως ναό γινόταν από την ανατολική κεντρική θύρα του ναού.
Μέσα έστεκε το γιγάντιο άγαλμα της Αθηνάς Παρθένου.
Το άγαλμα ήταν κατασκευασμένο από τον Φειδία από χρυσό και ελεφαντόδοντο και είχε ύψος περίπου 12 μέτρα.
Ο Παρθενώνας θεωρείται σύμβολο της αρχαίας Ελλάδας, της δημοκρατίας και του δυτικού πολιτισμού.
Για όλα αυτά είδαμε σχετικά βίντεο
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWPCZ1UjYmI&t=164s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x829R2Qztu0&t=339s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7U61C8gvjg
Στη συνέχεια κατασκευάσαμε τον Παρθενώνα με ανακυκλώσιμα υλικά και φτιάξαμε το χρυσελεφάντινο άγαλμα της θεάς Αθηνάς με πλαστελίνη.
Εμπνευστήκαμε από την αφίσα του έργου μας και την Ζωγραφίσαμε με τον δικό μας τρόπο.
Δημιουργήσαμε ψηφιακό χάρτη και βάλαμε το στίγμα των σχολείων μας
Είδαμε και συγκρίναμε τα σχολεία των άλλων χωρών.
Malta:
STMC Marsaskala St Anne Primary
Our school is located in the south-east of Malta, in the sea-side village called Marsaskala. The population of the school is almost 600 pupils. We are a multi-cultural school as 47% are foreigners coming from 43 different countries. We are bilingual too as both Maltese and English are taught in our school.
The history of our school
The history of Stroumpeio
2nd Primary School and 15th Kindergarten of Patras
Stroumpeio owes its name to the Epirotian benefactor Georgios Stroumbo.
He was a member of an old aristocratic family from Koukouli, Epirus.
The patriarch was Constantis Stroumbos who had 2 children, Stefanos and Georgios. They were a wealthy merchant family with shops in Ioannina.
They settled in 1830 in Patras and distinguished themselves as merchants and bankers.
George Stroumbos bequeathed a sum of money to complete the unfinished Girls' School he had founded and which was located on Maizonos Street in Patras (in the place where our School is today).
It had started to be built in 1859 on a plot of 1200 square meters. cubits (675 meters) with a building of 800 square meters (450 square meters) that the Stroumbou family had donated to house the Achaian Girls' School, i.e. a school for girls, as until then it was housed in buildings rented by the Municipality. The Achaiko Girls' School was renamed to Stroumpeio. In the garden of the building there was also the then chapel of Agia Ekaterini. According to tradition, the chapel took its name from the wife of G. Stroumbo.
The City Council accepted the offer at its February 13, 1886 meeting
Patras at the end of the 19th century is a rich and beautiful cosmopolitan city, which now has many public and private girls' schools competing with each other, each vying for its female students not only from the upper but even from the middle social classes.
Of the public schools, Stroumpeio has the best reputation. In 1896, as many girls attended the classes as in all the other schools of the city combined. It should be noted that at the end of 1900 (December 6, 1900) it began to operate in the halls of Stroumpeio and the School of Religious Studies.
Many of the students who graduated from Stroumpeio had and have an active role in the political, cultural and economic life of our country. It is worth noting that the former President of the Hellenic Republic Mr. Konos Stephanopoulos was a student of Stroumpeio.
The original building was abandoned until 1972, when the State rebuilt a new classroom, which has continued to operate since then as the 12/seat 2nd Primary School of the Municipality of Patreon. It is worth noting that the Church dedicated to Saint Catherine, who is also the patroness of the school, moved from the forecourt of the first old building, is located and functions in the event hall.

During the current school year all the Festivals and Feast revolve around the theme of Peter Pan. So, we have made a Pirate Ship that welcomes you upon entering our school.
To celebrate Libraries Day each class has a Treasure Map where they have to draw the route to find their best treasure: Their favourite book.
The legend said:
" Cursed Treasure
When it began a long time ago, in Neverland, Captain Hook and his minions found some treasure maps that led them to the most valuable treasures in the world : The books.
Follow these maps and discover what treasure the boys and girls at school tell us about."

October
- October 28th - National anniversary of No
October 28th - Greece
When we say October 28, we definitely remember the big "NO"!
But what does this date mean for Greece?
Let's find out together!
Every year, on October 28, all of Greece celebrates.
This day is special because in 1940, Greece said "NO" to the Italians.
The Italians wanted to cross our border without asking us.
The prime minister at the time was a dictator, Metaxas, he said this big "NO" on behalf of all the people.
On October 28, 1940, everyone in Greece woke up to the sound of sirens. It was the signal that the war had begun.
Shortly after 3 am on October 28, 1940, the then Italian Government sent an ultimatum to Greece, through the Italian Ambassador in Athens, who delivered it to the dictator Ioannis Metaxas, who ruled the country.
The performance took place at the house where the dictator lived, in Kifissia-Athens-Greece.
Fascist Italy demanded the free passage of the Italian army from the Greek-Albanian border in order to then occupy some strategic points of the Kingdom of Greece (ports, airports, etc.), for its supply needs and other facilities, in its subsequent promotion to Africa.
After reading the text, the dictator Metaxas turned his gaze to the Italian Ambassador and answered him in French (the official diplomatic language) the historic phrase:
"Alors, c'est la guerre" (Well, this means war), thus manifesting the answer of all Greeks.
The next day the newspapers wrote about Metaxas' "NO".
Greece's "NO" to the Italians was a sign of courage.
We had the courage to protect our country. On that day, Greece entered World War II.
Every year, we honor this day because we remember the big "NO" and our love for Greece. It is a day of celebration and holiday in Greece and Cyprus.
Kindergarten and elementary school children learn about the history of October 28 and what it means to our country. It is a way of knowing our past and appreciating our freedom.
This year in our Kindergarten for the Celebration of October 28, 1940 we did the following actions:
1. On Thursday 24-10-2024 the students of one department presented to the other the celebration they prepared with the kindergarten teachers for the anniversary of October 28.
SECTION A1
The A1 section presented the chronicle of the war in a metered way and the children sang "The Duce Puts On His Uniform"
The "NO!" of '40-Performance Karagiozis
A fun Shadow Theater performance for children and teachers on the theme of October 28, 1940.
SECTION A2
A2 presented the events with a dramatic theatrical performance and sang "Koroid Mussolini"
At the end the students sang our national anthem…
2.The next day, 25/10/2024, the students and their kindergarten teachers attended the celebration prepared by the two classes of the 4th grade of the co-located Primary School...
3.We made beautiful constructions.
4.We watched the“NO !” of '40-Performance Karagiozis.

St Martin's Day in Malta
St Martin's Day is celebrated on the 11th November. It is said that St. Martin was a soldier who always loved to help poor people on the road by giving them his food. One day he saw a man without clothes in the cold and he took his cloak and cut it in two and gave half of it to the man. Later he dreamt of Jesus who was that poor man without clothes.
In Malta it is tradition to give kids a bag full of nuts and fruit in remembrance of this saint. This traditions goes back many years when people in Malta had little food so this bag would be a luxury and the children awaited it. They used to spend hours playing with the nuts before eating them and they lasted a long time.
Ms Bryndis and Ms Romina showed the story in Maltese to the children.
Here is the link to the video in Maltese:
Ms Bryndis also made picture puppets to re-tell the story to the children and allow them to role-play using them.
Afterwards she gave the students a "ħubbejża" (literal translation - "little bread") which is the Maltese traditional sweet for St Martin's day. It is a sweet bun with candied peel and a liqourish candy in the middle.
Ms Romina made cut outs of the things we usually find in the traditional St. Martin's bag - fruit, like orange, tangerine, dried figs, apples and different nuts, like walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts...
Both teachers also enjoyed singing a traditional chant in Maltese saying:
Ġewż, lewż, qastan, tin - Kemm inħobbu lil San Martin!
translated as:
Walnuts, almonds, chestnuts, dried figs - How I love St. Martin!
Here is a video of the students singing it for us:
Let's see how we celebrated Saint Martin's Day in Romania!
The preparation for this feast in the Bee group started a week before November 11. In these days that precede the great event, the children listened to the legend of St. Martin and learned about the good deeds that St. Martin did. The legend was presented to them with the help of images from shadow theater. During the week, the preschoolers had the opportunity to learn songs and recitatives about geese.
Let's listen to them:
https://youtube.com/shorts/5gtq4AopMDo?feature=share
They also painted geese using different painting techniques and made geese using different craft techniques.
With great emotions they prepared the lanterns with which on November 11 they participated in the traditional lantern walk organized in the largest park in the center of Cluj-Napoca.
Let's see some moments from the lantern walk:
At the end of the traditional lantern walk, all participants were served according to tradition with bread with lard and hot tea. And at the end of the event, they could participate in folk games with the theme of St. Martin.

November - Riot of Polytechnic-University
Greece
Primary School of Pedino
In 15th of November we celebrated the Riot of Polytechnic University. In 17th of November 1973 the students of Polytechnic University conquested the building not allowing to the police to enter. In Greece there was dictatorship and the this conquest was a result of the people's dissapointment for the government and its laws. People outside the building helped and supported the students. Their slogan was BREAD, EDUCATION, FREEDOM. The dictator George Papadopoulos order the army to stop the conquest by any means. A tank stood outside the door of the Polytechneio. Around 3 o clock and after several warnings, the tank entered the university killing everyone who was on the door. Among the dead were boys and girls under 18. This was the most tragic day of Greece in the modern times and we continue to celebrate this day as a memorial for those who fought for freedom.
In our school we watched a puppet show called Tenekedoupoli, from a famous Greek author in childrens literature. We made our puppets from the show that we watched and in the end we made bullhorns with the slogans from the Riot of the Polytechneio.
15th KINDERGARTEN PATRAS GREECE
November 17 has become a symbol of resistance and freedom in Greece, and events are held every year.
In kindergartens, the Polytechnic Day is taught in a careful way, taking into account the age of the children and the sensitivity of the topic.
In this context, teachers adapt activities and games to explain the symbolism of this anniversary to young children.
The activities are adapted to the educational program of the kindergarten, with an emphasis on promoting themes such as peace, understanding, solidarity and the importance of respecting rights and freedom.
The tribute to the Polytechnic University celebration began with a fairy tale by Konstantina Armeniakou to explain to the children the value of Democracy and to remember that: ALL TOGETHER, ALL TOGETHER WE ARE ALWAYS STRONGER! Everyone loves Mrs. Democracy in the small village, which is why they chose her as their leader. But what will happen when Mrs. Ria the Dictatorship takes all the power by force? Can people live happily without Democracy?
We continued with the fairy tale of Eugenia Fakinou, where the huge oil can, Ladenios, oppresses the small cans and imposes his presence and his regime, this is exactly what happens in reality, from antiquity to the present day the oppression of the big by the small has been the social reality of the relationship between citizens and social power throughout time.
The children made their beloved hero into a puppet theater doll so they could act out the story themselves and watched the teachers perform at the Denekedoupolis puppet theater.
We made our own posters with the slogan :
BREAD EDUCATION FREEDOM
We painted the tank in front of the Polytechnic University gate and the students on the railings
We Painted A favorite song of all children. It is suitable for very beautiful activities at school.
It has been connected to the celebration of the anniversary of the Polytechnic University.
Lyrics:
The children paint on the wall
two hearts and a sun in the middle.
I take light from the sun and make love
and you tell me that you like it.
The children sing in the streets
and their voice changes the world.
The darkness disperses
and the day blooms like a flower on the windowsill.
My heart is a cloud
and my life is a celebration in a square.
I love you
and the vast world is like a small city.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJWz1PpHeAk
We worked as a team on the celebration poster showing the door of the Polytechnic, with the slogan :The Technical University Lives-the doves of peace, and the flowers for the students who were killed that day.
We also attended the Primary School celebration in our school's event hall, which was dedicated to Miky Theodorakis.
Our Primary School students were very moved by their poems, their performances and their songs!!!!
Warm congratulations to all our students and the teachers of Stroumpeion.
November - International Children's Day
15th KINDERGARTEN PATRAS-GREECE
Although November 20th has been established as Universal Children's Day,
December 11th is also celebrated in the same context, since on this date, December 11, 1946, UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, was founded, aiming to support mothers and children around the world who had immediate needs and were at risk of hunger, disease and other suffering after the end of the war.

We sang If all the children of the Earth held hands tightly

November - Romania National Day
Romania - National Day
In Romanian historiography, the Great Union (Romanian: Marea Unire) or Great Union of 1918 (Marea Unire din 1918) was the series of political unifications the Kingdom of Romania had with several of the Romanian historical regions, starting with Bessarabia on 27 March 1918, continuing with Bukovina on 28 November 1918 and finalizing with Transylvania (on its broad meaning) on 1 December 1918 with the declaration of the union of this region with Romania during an assembly at the city of Alba Iulia.
For this day we listen folk songs that talks about the beauty of our country and the end we played with three colored baloons: Blue, Yellow and Red - the coulors from our flag.
Here are some songs: https://youtu.be/Dva6BDriqvU?si=tK1SxPHu7j2XV-VN
December
- St Nicholas
St. Nicholas is celebrated by Romania
Grădinița cu Program Prelungit ”Mămăruța”, Veres Iuliana
We celebrate Saint Nicholas on December 6. This is a nice, family holiday when children can find gifts in their shoes or boots in the morning. But of course we also celebrate it in the kindergarten. Before his arrival, we got to know his favorite reindeer, played various St. Nicholas -themed games, and painted St. Nicholas.
Saint Nicholas, who is a symbol of goodness and helpfulness, is traditionally a red-robed, white-bearded figure, and in many places children recite poems or sing to him to deserve the gifts, as we did. His arrival at the kindergarten caused great joy, everyone was very curious to see what he would get from Saint Nicholas's big sack.

December - Christmas celebrations
Malta
In our school we start organizing Christmas celebration activities from the beginning of December.
On the 3rd of December we had Breakfast with Santa. We held this activity in the school hall and we all ate cereal with milk and took photos with Santa.
In Malta it is a tradition of growing vetch, a little plant which when grown in the dark grows long and white and looks like angel's hair. We put this next to baby Jesus in our homes and churches.
Here is how Ms Romina's children did it. They put cotton wool at the bottom of the plastic cups and put some seeds called ġulbiena in Maltese, then watered it and put it in a dark place to grow.
It is also tradition to make cribs in our homes. In class we do a simple crib too. Here is how Ms Romina's children did their crib.
Ms Romina's class also did a christmas tree craft where they practiced scissoring and sticking papers.
Free art expression in drawing or painting christmas trees:
Ms Romina's students also decorated their own baubles and then put them up on their class Christmas Tree.
Ms Bryndis' class also did nativity cribs with shoe boxes and paper rolls.

The Christmas tree took action and together with its assistants, the children of our school, warmed the hearts of young and old and reminded us of what Christmas really means.
Parents, grandparents, siblings and others enjoyed the little protagonists in a tender Christmas story and passed on such a sensitive message to our modern era.
We were also visited by Santa Claus who gave the children an inflatable cookie man and many, many wishes!
At the end, there was a buffet with savory and sweet dishes, juices and soft drinks offered by the parents of our students…
Happy New Year to everyone, and good health next year!

The children say the litany:
"Little goldfish, can we cross the sea? As long as we wear ...?"
The goldfish responds with a colour.
Those who wear this colour can cross the sea.
Those not wearing this colour must run to avoid being caught by the fish.
If a player is caught, he too becomes a goldfish.
The players ask again to cross the sea, the fish responds with a color.
If a player is caught, he too becomes a goldfish.
The game ends when only one player has crossed the sea or when all the players have become fish.
15th Kindergarten Patras Greece.
Traditional game: "Fine salt, coarse salt"
Fine salt - Coarse salt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u2oPaLDQ2I
For the game we will need a handkerchief.
The children sit in a circle with their hands clasped behind their backs and do not look at what is happening behind them.
One
of the children stands up and plays the mother, holding the
handkerchief and walks around behind the backs of the other children
singing the song.
Salt, thick salt, tall,
I lost my mother
and I'm going to find her,
she didn't take my shoes to go to the dance
and if she doesn't take them from me,
the cuckoo will take her.
He leaves the handkerchief behind a child and the person who has the handkerchief gets up and chases the mother.
The goal is for the mother to be able to sit in the place of the player who has gotten up without catching him.

CEIPP Xuño - Galicia - Spain
Primary school of Pedino
We selected the traditional game Blind fly. There is one student that has closed eyes and the rest of the students make a circle around him. He is trying to catch someone while the others are trying to avoid him. I will upload a video so you can see how it is played. We hope you like it!
Grădinița cu Program Prelungit ”Mămăruța”- Veres Iuliana
"Pair behind, run forward!"
An odd number of players is chosen. Players form two columns, each player holding hands with their partner. One player, who has no partner, stands with his back to the others and shouts:
"Pair behind, run forward!"
At this signal, the last two players at the end of each column release their grip and each begins to run forward on his side. They often make a wider arc to avoid the player with their back turned trying to catch them. Runners aim to reconnect by holding hands again. If they succeed, they can line up in front of the columns. However, if the chaser catches one of them before holding hands, both the chasing and the caught player move to the front of the line, and the unpartnered player becomes the new next.
St Thomas More College - St Anne Primary Marsaskala - Malta

- Feast for March 25th,1821
Greece
What do we celebrate on March 25th – The great double holiday of the Greeks?
March 25th is a religious and national holiday.
Today, Hellenism everywhere honors its ancestors and celebrates the beginning of the 1821 revolution against the Turkish yoke.
At the same time, it honors the Orthodox faith, celebrating the anniversary of the announcement of the birth of Jesus.
The good news was conveyed to the Virgin Mary by the Archangel Gabriel, who told her that she was going to conceive Jesus, the son of God.
On March 25th, we celebrate the Revolution of 1821, which took place against the Turkish yoke after 400 years of slavery. In essence, we are referring to the armed uprising of the Greeks against the Ottomans with the aim of establishing an independent state.
We celebrate the independence of Greece and, as in the case of October 28, on March 25 we essentially celebrate the beginning and not the end of the revolution.
This day is an official holiday in Greece and Cyprus. Its double celebration makes it one of the most important dates of the year.
At our school we decorated our classrooms
and On Friday, March 21, the classes of our Kindergarten presented to each other the celebration they had prepared for the celebration of the Annunciation and the Revolution of 1821.
The children recited their poems, sang “Kleftopoula” and “Thourio tou Rigas”, danced traditional dances “Gerakina” and “Saranta Palikaria” and closed the celebration with the “National Anthem”.
On Monday, March 24th, we attended the celebration of the co-located 2nd grade in the event hall of our school.
Τι γιορτάζουμε την 25η Μαρτίου – Η μεγάλη διπλή γιορτή των Ελλήνων
Η
25η Μαρτίου είναι θρησκευτική αλλά και εθνική εορτή. Ο απανταχού
ελληνισμός τιμά σήμερα τους προγόνους του και γιορτάζει την έναρξη της
επανάστασης του 1821 ενάντια στον τουρκικό ζυγό. Παράλληλα, τιμά την
ορθόδοξη πίστη, εορτάζοντας την επέτειο αναγγελίας της γέννησης του
Ιησού.
Τα χαρμόσυνα νέα μετέφερε στη Θεοτόκο ο Αρχάγγελος Γαβριήλ ο οποίος της είπε πως πρόκειται να κυοφορήσει τον Ιησού, τον γιό του Θεού
Στις 25 Μαρτίου γιορτάζουμε την Επανάσταση του 1821 που έγινε εναντίον του τουρκικού ζυγού μετά από 400 χρόνια σκλαβιάς.
Στην ουσία αναφερόμαστε στην ένοπλη εξέγερση των Ελλήνων εναντίον των Οθωμανών με σκοπό την ίδρυση ανεξάρτητου κράτους.
Γιορτάζουμε
την ανεξαρτησία της Ελλάδας κι όπως και στην περίπτωση της 28ης
Οκτωβρίου, έτσι και την 25η Μαρτίου γιορτάζουμε ουσιαστικά την έναρξη
και όχι τη λήξη της επανάστασης.
Η ημέρα αυτή είναι επίσημη αργία
στην Ελλάδα και την Κύπρο. Ο διπλός εορτασμός της, την κάνει μία από τις
σημαντικότερες ημερομηνίες του χρόνου.
Στο σχολείο μας στολίσαμε και Την
Παρασκευή 21 Μαρτίου τα τμήματα του Νηπιαγωγείου μας παρουσίασαν το ένα
στο άλλο τη γιορτή που είχαν ετοιμάσει για τον εορτασμό του Ευαγγελισμού
και της Επανάστασης του 1821. Τα παιδιά είπαν τα ποιήματά τους,
τραγούδησαν τα “Κλεφτόπουλα” και τον “Θούριο του Ρήγα”, χόρεψαν
παραδοσιακούς χορούς τη “Γερακίνα” και τα “Σαράντα Παληκάρια”και
έκλεισαν τη γιορτή με τον “Εθνικό Ύμνο”.
Τη Δευτέρα 24 Μαρτίου παρακολουθήσαμε τη γιορτή του συστεγαζόμενου 2ου Δημοτικού στην αίθουσα εκδηλώσεων του σχολείου μας.
ΖΗΤΩ ΤΟ 1821!!

We made Easter cookies.
The hare brought us colorful Easter eggs and told us what tradition says about the custom of red eggs!!!
We became rabbits too...

Happy Easter to everyone!!!!
