      7-12-2016 LITHUANIA & GREECE

    Skype days have officially started with Lithuania, Poland and Greece! The first Skype between Lithuania and Greece started very early in the morning. The pupils introduced themselves, they sang carols and taught each other the Christmas wish in their mother tongues. The Lithuanian kids even shared a very old traditional game that they play during Advent which the Greek kids really liked! The experience was so enjoyable that the Greek headmaster came for a quick 'Hello' and stayed throughout the meeting! Unfortunatley, the second Skype of the day (between Greece and Poland) didn't go as planned due to technical problems. However, the Greek kids sang the christmas carols and promised to meet again same day and time next week! We can't wait! All in all I think it was the best activity of the whole project because there was real communication and my pupils enjoyed it so much that they talked about it all day long! Thank you, friends!

     

    ROMANIAN-GREEK VIDEO CONFERENCE 8-12-2016

    Another wonderful Skype meeting today, with Valerica and her pupils! I was amazed to see how well prepared her pupils were and how well they spoke English! Bravo! Both classes introduced themselves and sang carols. My pupils really enjoyed listening to the Romanian carols. We also listened to them singing to us 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' and we sang along, too!Then, the pupils taught each other how to wish Merry Christmas in both languages and the Greek pupils taught some Christmas words to Valerica's pupils.It was a wonderful experience as we finally made it, despite all the unexpected technological problems that occured. Valerica, it was very nice meeting you!

    07.12.2016  Polish -Greek conference Part I. Next session on Wednesday.

    We listened to a Greek carol sang by pupils playing on the triangles. We could see  and hear them but we were not able to talk due to our problem with a microphone. But that way we have a chance to meet one more time. See you tomorrow!

     

    14.12.2016  Polish -Greek conference Part II

    We were lucky this time!!! It was a wonderful video conference with great communication between the classes and no technical problems at all. Not only did they introduce themselves and exchange Christmas songs, Christmas words and wishes but they had lots of questions for each other! The Greek pupils were surprised to hear that Christmas Eve is so important in Poland and it is celebrated with a 12-course-meal that includes fish and poppy cake. They didn't know also that in Poland carols are sung after dinner at home, wereas in Greece the kids sing carols from door to door on Christmas Eve morning. Moreover, the Polish carols are very sentimental and have serious melodies and slow rythm wereas in Greece carols are more rythmic. They were also happy to see that their Polish friends were of the same age and they were in the same class! All in all, a very nice conference! Thank you for this wonderful experience!We had fun and learned a lot!

    14.12. 2016 Greek- Polish conference.

    Thank you Eleni! Thank you children!  It was a really educational experience for all of us. My children were very curious about your language and wanted me to say different words in Greek.Wow! They didn't remember them and neither did I! In addition, pupils couldn't imagine how it is possible not to get presents for Christmas. But they liked the idea to get them at New Year's Eve, too. They said they wanted to go from door to door on Christmas Eve singing carols. There was a lot to disscus...
