On Tuesday, 10th October, 2017, our Year 3 children visited Pedopolis where they took a close look at a subject very close to their hearts in more ways than one - Healthy Eating. They participated in numerous hands-on activities related to their science unit under study this term.

The children really enjoyed making themselves a colourful place mat which illustrated all five different food groups. Then, they followed instructions to prepare a delicious healthy smoothie! Eating it afterwards was even more of a treat! 

The children also listened to a guest speaker, Mr Bill Kokkalis, an Australian trained physiotherapist who taught them about the importance of exercise in their daily life and the many benefits it offers to their body and mind. When asked if the children preferred an active 'Kangaroo Lifestyle' or an inactive 'Koala Lifestyle', we were extremely happy that they happily chose the kangaroo over the koala! A great day overall!

The Government & Politics department is organising a trip to the Hellenic Cosmos Foundation (IME) for a virtual tour of the Classical Agora, followed by a tour of the museum of the Ancient Agora in Plaka.

Eight pupils of our school will take part in the 5th Campion School – Model United Nations which is to be held on Saturday 7th October and Sunday 8th October 2017 at Campion School.

In this innovative simulation of the United Nations, delegates will have the opportunity to discuss matters of international importance, enhance their understanding of UN-committee procedures and simultaneously prepare themselves for MUN conferences designed for students at the secondary level of their education.

Another year of debating began with Joanna Sakkadas and Markella Papadopoulos winning the novice category at the St. Catherine's Debate Competition on Saturday. Ioanna Moirasgenti and Andreas Hagis also made the novice final, whilst in the senior category, Lucas Petropoulos and Emily Holden both ranked in the top 10 speakers.

A great event, well done to all involved!

On Wednesday, 27th September 2017, Year 6 went on a Geography trip to study the physical and human features of a coastal environment in detail. This field work was undertaken as a practical element of the work being done this term. The beach at Aghia Marina was their case study and the visit was enjoyed immensely by the children, as they examined the coast and all its interesting features up close. 

"It was like going to the beach, but more fun," commented one of the pupils with a grin. Learning is more fun than a trip to the beach - now that's what we like to hear!

On Friday 27th October, at 11:30 am in the Cultural Hall, the Junior School’s Year 6 pupils will commemorate the 28th October 1940 anniversary of OXI Day by presenting a performance based on Alki Zei’s book ‘Petros’ War’ («Ο μεγάλος περίπατος του Πέτρου»), about a young boy's life in occupied Athens during the Second World War.

On Saturday the 23rd of September seven pupils from our school took part in UNESCO’s celebration for International Peace Day. The 21^st of September is the day devoted by the United Nations General Assembly to International Peace with the aim of promoting and strengthening the ideas of peace and non-violence among all nations. The day started in the theatre of Epidavros, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with participants engaging in a dialogue on world peace and reflecting on questions such as What is world peace? How can we achieve it? What stands in the way of peace today? and included a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Epidavros. The celebrations continued in Nafplio, the first capital of Greece as a free nation and a really pretty town that has a lot to offer to any visitor. Overall, it was a rewarding experience enjoyed by everyone on a glorious autumn day!

On Friday, 22nd September, 2017, a Junior school PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) assembly started the year for all pupils with energy and enthusiasm.  Our Headmistress, Ms Good, calmed and then enthused the pupils about the topic, “Being Me in My World”. There was discussion with five-year olds and ten-year olds alike contributing their thoughts and ideas about how our school community could be a better place by helping others feel welcome in these first few weeks especially. 

“Saying one kind thing may be the most important thing you do today,” proposed Ms Good. This was the message taken on board by the whole school. To make the afternoon complete, an electrifying rendition of the Singup song “One and a Million” was sung by everyone in the hall.

 “One and a million, join us today, building tomorrow, leading the way… United we are strong.”

On Friday 27th April, there will be a whole school assembly and singalong for Junior School pupils to launch the fifth Puzzle (theme) of the Jigsaw PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic education) scheme entitled ‘Relationships’. Children will think about their relationships and how they can be a good friend or good son/daughter/sibling, etc.
