TEAMWORK LEADS TO A GREAT RESULT

ACTIONAID - EDUCATION FOR ALL

Having decided to take part in the activities recommended by ACTIONAID regarding EDUCATION AROUND THE WORLD, we found out about schools in other countries, the difficulties students have to face every day because of poverty and famine, We also decided to take pictures, draw, paint and 'physically form' our choice of word to complete the phrase

WE WANT EDUCATION THAT...

Concentrating to draw the perfect picture

WE WANT EDUCATION THAT...

Hey...I need that colour...this is a work of art

WOW...we're absolutely devoted,,,,

Will we manage to form a word with our bodies...or is it just wishful thinking

Mrs Mitchell is definitely going to help us out...she's creative and imaginative and that's what we need

Hey guys...wake up

Almost ready...

Is that a word I see before me...

"BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD"

MY NEIGHBORHOOD

I live in Maroussi, Athens. My neighborhood has a lot of colorful blocks of flats. There are also churches, shops, shopping centers… Moreover, there are beautiful parks.

In Maroussi you can find a lot of schools, too. I have to mention that there is a grove called «Alsos Syggrou». It is like a small forest and my school is inside. Unfortunately, because of the cars, the air in Maroussi is polluted. However, my neighborhood is a good destination for having a walk or window-shopping.

                           ‘’My neighbourhood Pefki’’

Hello,

My name is Philia and I am 12 years old. Today I will describe my neighbourhood. I have lived in Pefki for about 5 years. Pefki is a northern suburb of Athens, Greece. It isn't a very big area but I think it has all the things that people need. Pefki has 4 Primary Schools, 2 Junior High schools and 2 senior High schools, lots of bakeries, patisseries, pharmacies, restaurants, a conservatory, a football stadium, a basketball stadium, dance schools, bookstores, cafes and other stores. I like my neighbourhood because it has many trees, it is quiet, clean and beautiful.

This is my neighbourhood. I hope you like it,

                                                                            Philia. 

I  live in New Kifisia a beautiful city.

  My neighbourhood is near the local school. The houses are big and and the streets are a bit  wide. It has a lot of night clubs, greek restaurants and a church.

        There is a basketball stadium where you can play all day ! There is also a big park with a real aeroplane in it. It also has some places to play football and a bridge with a tiny river under it. In this river there used to live ducks but now they have died.

        You can't see New Kifisia in Greek films like Plaka . Because of that I will sent you a photo to know what to expect. See you !

Cheers,

Gus

Hi Sotiris,

You asked me to describe my neighbourhood, so here you are! First of all, my neighbourhood is Kolonos. It is near the centre of Athens. It has narrow streets and many parks, where you can cycle or play with your friends. There is also a historical monument, the Plato’s Academy inside one of these parks, but you can’t see something good, there are only ruins. Generally, there isn’t anything else for children in my neighbourhood except a basketball team called “Iason”. Also there are some Greek traditional restaurants and small churches.

Best wishes,

Peter.

Konstantina M

Hi, my name is Konstantina Merkouri and I’m 12 years old. I’m from Greece and I live in Maroussi.My neighbourhood is beautiful. In my neighbourhood there are many trees but there are a lot of houses, too.

I’ve got a sister, a mum, a dad and a dog. My mum’s name is Julia. My sister’s name is Marianthi. My dad’s name is Thanasis and my dog’s name is Pisa.I go to the first grade of Anavrita Experimental High School. My favourite sport is fencing and basketball. In my free time I play with my dog, I play computer games and I go fencing.

Nikiforos

My name is Nikiforos Asteriadis and I am 12.5 years old. I come from Evros, Thraki. I live in Neo Irakleio which is in the north suburbs of Athens, near Kifissia and Marousi. My family is quite small. I live with my dad, my mum and, fortunately, I have no brothers or sisters. I go to Anavrita High School, in the first grade. My favourite sport is fencing. It’s quite a tricky and unusual sport as you must touch your rival with the tip of your sword and you must not be touched. It’s a very difficult sport and because of this I like it. In my free time I prefer to make paper planes, watch television, read books and walk. Unfortunately I don’t have free time as I study for school all the time!
