TRADITIONAL GREEK BEAN SOUP RECIPE (FASOLADA)
One of the most traditional Greek dishes.There are many variations of this recipe in different areas of Greece but this one here is from Northern Greece, Macedonia. Healthy, simple and extra comforting, fasolada is with no doubt the national Greek dish! This is the authentic recipe for Greek bean soup, a trademark dish that has nourished generations! Just for your information, the success to a great Fasolada starts from the type of beans you will find. They should have a thin skin (peel) and they should have a rich sweet flavour! You will probably find good quality beans at a delicatessen! Give it a shot!

As part of an Erasmus+ workshop about famous painters, the 4th grade students represented some famous paintings….
The main objectives of introducing art into the educational process were,the development of Critical thinking and Visual literacy.To conquer the visual literacy, we worked in three directions: The student as a viewer of works of art, The student as a critic of works of art, The student as producer of works of art.
The planning of activities was based on experience learning and elicited physical and emotional responses.Our students studied the works of some artists and then gave flesh and bones, to some of them. What did they do? They became models themselves trying to represent these great paintings! They posed in front of the camera with confidence and the result will surely impress you!
Works of art are an unknown, often incomprehensible, fascinating world, and in order to decode its messages, our students activated their own senses and emotions. The children’s contact with works of art and the artistic currents of various times broadens their intellectual horizons and cultivates their creativity
A cultural trip was organized with the participation of the students of 4th grade , in order to discover the main features of their local architecture. They learnt about the architectural symbols and heritage of our region through Outdoor Learning. Students took pictures and chose the more relevant ones to send to the Slovenian school. The Slovenian school will create a slide show of photos from all partners with the local regions’ architectural symbols and heritages. A school exhibition highlighting the variety of our rich architectural heritage will be organized in each school. It will allow all students to discover the similarities and differences between our European cultural patrimonies.
In the following video the process of the implementation of the the above mentioned activity is presented.
Μήλο μου κόκκινο (red apple of mine)
The students of 3rd grade worked cooperatively,sang and recorded the traditional song:'Milo mou kokkino'
Action evaluation was done with questionnaires to students, teachers and parents
It is a love song from Macedonia. A young man’s love has met with no response. The girl he loves avoids him. He calls her “apple” and “pomegranate”, like a nice, sweet fruit. In his attempt to go close to her, the young man speaks to the girl’s mattress, as if it was a person. Her mattress informs him that the girl has gone to the fountain to drink water and fill her jug.This phrase is metaphorical. The fountain of a village was the place that young people met, by chance or not. Maybe the girl has gone there to meet somebody else she is in love with and in this way she refuses to see the man of the song. The young man’s disappointment as well as the girl’s refusal show their feelings which are true and simple, personified by natural and physical things.
