Πώς; Δείχνοντας πάντα την ευγένεια και το σεβασμό μας στο περιβάλλον, τα ζώα αλλα και στον κάθε άνθρωπο, είτε είναι μέλος της οικογένειάς μας, φίλος ή άγνωστος.

#RAK_Challenge: Να κάνουμε 71 πράξεις καλοσύνης μέχρι τις 17 Φεβρουαρίου

Όπως είπε και ο Αίσωπος: «Καμία πράξη καλοσύνης όσο μικρή κι αν είναι, δεν πάει χαμένη».

“Τελευταία” πρόκληση για το project το να μαγειρέψουμε κάτι απλό και να το μοιραστούμε! (Πάντα στα αγγλικά!).#

For the past few months, these little Raktivists have been showing their selflessness through small acts of kindness not only towards the environment and animals but also towards their family, friends and even strangers.

#Our_RAK_Challenge: Doing 71 good deeds by the 17th of February!

Although more than 90 acts of kindness have been performed, the mission is not accomplished.

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

(Leo Buscaglia)

?Οur goal is to make kindness the norm and keep in mind Aesop’s words:
“No act of Kindness, however small, is ever wasted”.
You can always choose to be kind, so here are some ideas!

Hold a door open for someone!

Talk to someone who looks lonely or sad.

Help someone before they ask!

Give a hug and tell someone you love them!

Tell someone a nice compliment!

?What will you choose to do today?

The most delicious…lessons of the year!

Our A, B and C senior Students (A1-A2 CEFR level) cooked and served delicious desserts as part of a cooking workshop that took place both in and out of class! Such workshops are highly engaging, motivating and fun to carry out while they enhance students’ life skills and knowledge. English becomes the means and not the end of this learning activity and students just love it!

Such lessons are based on the CLIL methodology (Content and Language Integrated Learning).

The Pancake Project

The students were introduced to the theme of cooking, they watched videos and learned how cuisine reflects culture. During the workshop, they had to follow the instructions of a recipe and prepare the dish carefully by communicating in English.

Chocolate Mug Cake Time!

Our A’ + B’ Senior students present : The Mug Cake ! 

The recipe

For the chocolate Mug Cake you need:
35 g flour 
35g sugar 
35g cocoa 
1 egg
30ml milk 
30ml vegetable oil 
Enjoy 

The Crepe Masterclass

Rafaella, Jim, Kostas, Bill, Alexandra and Krisilda managed to cook and serve delicious crepes once again …in English! The workshop took place in our school’s garden where the students became familiar with the ingredients & instructions of the recipe , the utensils as well as the cooking process itself and worked together to create a tasty outcome!

Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. It’s about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.

“How wonderful it is to be able to write someone a letter! To feel like conveying your thoughts to a person, to sit at your desk and pick up a pen, to put your thoughts into words like this is truly marvelous.” 

― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Mission accomplished!

All students (Penpals 2018-2019) have shown great enthusiam during the process of writing the letters and they look forward to keeping this project going!

Summing Up

Texting, chatting and emailing have become truly indispensable but hands down, there is just something about writing a letter that cannot be replaced!

Expressing our thoughts and ideas may not be an easy task since it requires a lot of time and effort and admittedly the fast-paced mode of life we are leading has made it difficult to imagine alternatives to typing/ recording our messages.

What makes a letter special?

It is the greater deal of time and effort devoted to find the right words and draw upon our inspiration .

When writing a letter, it’s not about our convenience anymore . It’s about creating something unique and complete. This dedication is the essense of writing. It molds our thoughts into words and harnesses our spirit! Ιt makes us more skillful, patient and thoughtful writers!

Every thought is delivered in a special way with a unique handwriting and a sequence of words carefully selected, all of which reflect one’s personality and makes a real connection between sender and recipient, possible!

A glimpse into our class!

Some of our Penpals 2018-2019!

A handful of letters and handmade cards were received in return! Charming, huh?!

Special thanks to the students of the Szkola Podstawowa and their teacher and co-ordinator, Ms Anna Dela.
