 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!

My Muffin!

I can never resist

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!

Watermelon, you are so heavy!

Don't worry, you're delicious.
I can never resist you!

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

My chocolate muffin
Oh! Oh! Oh! my sweet chocolate muffin!
Oh, my God! You look so sweet when I'm looking at you!
You smell from a hundred miles away from my granny's home.
I can never resist you!
'Cause you taste delicious in all the mouths!
You smell great in all the noses!
Ahhhhhh, I have nothing more to say about you, muffin.

Skype talk with a British Primary School:)

Today we were excited about communicating live, through Skype, with Putteridge Primary School, Luton, UK! The 5th Grade had the chance to talk with their British peers about school, favourite lessons, field trips and, of course, the most popular sport in both countries: f o o t b a l l!! Our students even helped their foreign friends say 'Merry Christmas' in Greek!! Both parties expressed their wish to speak again soon!
