Back to school after Christmas holidays

"Like a fairytale" 

It is a Christmas village in Soufli, where many pupils participate. It took place between 23rd and 30th December. This is a video and here is how our students experienced it! 

Chris: "In the village of Soufli, the greatest attraction is a park that’s like a fairy tale. In it there are a lot of places you can go but one that stands out the most is the school of Harry Potter. This house is the one that always has the longest line due to it’s great popularity. In the house there were 4 trials to be completed which change every year. When you complete the 4 trials you can go to the back to find a different thing, this year it was the prison of Azkaban." 

John: "In the Christmas eve in Soufli in Evros, I took part in the Christmas village "Like a Fairytale" and I was in the house of Santa Claus! The Santa Claus house has 2 rooms: The first room had some activities for the children, for instance writing letter to Santa, and in the second room it was Santa! The most important you could take a photo with him with the help of an elf." 

Nikolas: "The park of Asterix and Ovelix took place “like a fairytale” too and many people visited it. It consisted of the small houses of Asterix's village and the magic cave."

Back to school after Christmas holidays

It’s 8th January and the school is back. 

So I want to tell you how I feel and how my holidays were. The last day of school was the funniest and the most glorious of the whole year, and Christmas too. I got many gifts , such as PS5. 

The five days before the new year were so unforgettable. The last day of the year I celebrated the new one with friends and cousins, and the other days I finished my homework. Today I feel tired and nervous. How were your holidays? Tell me.

My Christmas holidays were good. My favourite day was New Year’s Eve, that I spent with my friends. At 1 a.m. after dinner we went to Luna park and finally at 3 a.m. I went back home. The next day I and my family went skiing to Trentino and we also visited Trento.

 This morning I was sad because I didn’t want to go to school, but now I’m kinda happy because I can see my friends.

My Christmas holidays were very fun and I enjoyed myself. On my holidays I played football with my friends and went on a trip to Florence with my family. In Florence there are a lot male statues and most of them are naked, I had an ice cream near the center of the city and it was artificial and you could tell from the look of it. It gave me a stomachache and I had to go to the bathroom twice. When I thought of school and that I needed to go back I felt sad because the fun was ending.

These Christmas holidays were very nice. I spent this time together with my parents, my aunt, my cousin, my brother and my uncle. Returning to school I was happy because I  met again my friends but I was sad because the holidays finished.

I had a great holiday. When I went back to school I was happy because I saw my friends again.

My holidays were relaxing but also challenging. Going back to school wasn’t very exciting. I would have preferred to stay at home a little longer. But if we did this we wouldn’t learn anything, so “strength and courage”.

My holidays were very nice and enjoyable: surprisingly we had a lot less homework. We went straight to my grandmother’s house and stayed for 3 days. On the 26th we went to Switzerland and stayed till the 6th. While we were there we ate fabulous food and went skiing on wonderful slopes. When I realised that the holidays were going to finish I felt sad because being on holidays is very nice and everybody likes it.

The Christmas holidays I spent at my grandma’s house were happy. After the dinner I opened the presents and I was very happy for what I got. When I return to school I am sad but I am happy to meet my schoolmates.

Christmas means solidarity at IC Sestri Levante

 In the past three years our minds evolved due to many projects in social studies which made us more respectful. 

In 6th grade we made a table clothand its corners there were 4 objectives from the "Agenda 2030". In the front we made a drawing which symbolised peace. On the back side we wrote a letter for people to sensibilize them towards peace and respect. They were graded and exchanged.

In the second year we built a pen holder from a jar and we had to decorate it however we liked it. In it we had to put a pencil and a letter addressed to a fictitious friend. Then we had to bring them to school and they were showcased, they were graded and we got a random one back. 

In the third year we built a time machine with recycled materials. We also had to write a letter to our grandparents in which we re-lived the happiest moments. The time machine will be brought to school, showcased, graded and exchanged. While the letter will be graded and we will give them to our grandparents on Xmas day. 

In these three years we are very happy informed about what is happening in the world and I created a lot of memories. 

Every year we give some euros in charity during these events where we exchange presents and the school donate this money to associations  and local hospitals.
