 2nd Primary School of Kaisariani, Greece

   Our school, the 2nd Primary school of Kaisariani, Athens, is situated in Kaisariani, an area at the foot of mountain Imittos and a few kilometres from the center of Athens, the capital of Greece. We are near some famous landmarks like the hill of the Acropolis and the Parthenon and various museums. We have 256 students aged 6-12 and 33 members of staff. Our students come from middle-class families and quite a few of them are students with special educational needs and a couple are students with special needs. 

    Through this project we wish to upgrade the quality of the education that we offer to our students and enrich our curriculum by helping our students to communicate with students from other countries and learn first-hand about their cultures.We consider  the inclusion of students with special needs and special educational needs is very important since we have a significant number of such students. Another important motive we have is to help our students aquire life skills like team work and collaboration with others in a multi-cultural environment and develop a positive attitude towards learning. We believe that such projects help young students improve both academically and emotionally and gain an overall satisfaction by combining fun and learning. Last but not least the use of technology will help all of us, teachers and students alike, to aquire computer literacy. In a rapidly changing world we want to familiarize our students with their past so that they know who they are and where they come from. A way to achieve this is through tradition and cultural heritage.We also want our students to develop a sense of European identity by learning about the culture of other European countries. 

    The key people in this project are Mr Giannis Kyriazopoulos, the headmaster of the school, and Mrs Dionysia Amorginou, english teacher as the contact person.

EASTER PROJECT

Hello dear friends! Since schools in Greece have been closed for many months and we haven’t been able to engage our students in hand crafts, we decided to share with you some of our Easter customs. Our students also wanted to prepare two online games for you. We hope you have fun!
Hopefully our schools will open on 10th May and then we will start working on our project. Our students already have a lot of ideas to put into practice!
Until then, please, enjoy yourselves!

OUR MAIN PROJECT

Our project is based on interdisciplinary and group co-operative learning as it combines various school subjects ( History, Art and Information Technology. We took inspiration from ancient Greece and other Mediterranean countries where we can find a plethora of ceramic pots and plates dating back to ancient years. After examining the representations and motifs of ancient pottery and discussing about them and their use, we painted on the pots and plates various pictures inspired by antiquity and combined with modern elements. Our works of art are exhibited in a special room in our school while at the same time they can be found in digital form since we have created a virtual museum with our exhibits.

DISSEMINATION

 
At the end of the school year we invited Mr. Emmanouil  Kitsellis, Vice Mayor of Education, Civil protection, Tourism, Ecology and Mrs Artemis  Hatzigogou, President of the Parents’ Association, in order to inform them about our Project. The Vice Mayor is going to disseminate our work to the community through social media and other activities. The President of the Parents’ Association is also going to present our work to all the parents of our school and publish it on their facebook account. Special thanks to our community!

 

1st TRIP TO POMANIA, 26-29 SEPTEMBER 2021

 
In September we organised the first LTT in Romania where we discussed about the program so far and about our future activities. We also had the chance to visit the Romanian school and see their students engaged in various old crafts activities. We exchanged good practices with our partners and enhanced mutual cultural understanding. When we came back we informed both our colleagues and our students about this unique experience in Romania.
