EU CodeWeek 14-27 October 2024
Our school took an active part in this year's European Code Week activities, held from October 14th - 27th. This initiative aims to introduce students to coding through fun and interactive activities while fostering collaboration and partnerships with schools across Greece and abroad. We were excited to learn that Greece ranks second among countries with the most coding-related events. For more information on Code Week, you can visit the official website of the event:

We joined in an activity initiated by a school in Greece. "Coding with emotions" was the central idea of the coding project, giving students a unique opportunity to explore coding through hands-on and creative tasks. Numerous schools from Greece and countries such as Portugal, Romania, Bulgaria and more, joined in and posted their work on a padlet. We really enjoyed being part of this initiative!

subjects of English and Art
Here's how we implemented the project in our collaborative lesson: pupils worked in groups and their task was to "decode" emotions and create emojis based on codes. Next, they had to explore the classroom, where we had placed four riddles in English and match the emojis with the emotions conveyed in each riddle.
