EXIT SLIPS

Exit slips or tickets are tools for implementing formative assessment in the classroom.  They are very useful for teachers in order to get immediate feedback from their learners at the end of a lesson or class. They also enhance critical thinking  and metacognitive skills as they encourage learners to reflect on their own learning. Here is an example of an exit slip worksheet.

Exit slips can also be used for a whole class feedback activity after the end of a lesson or a unit. The traffic light exit slip is a nice idea to implement. The red light indicates that learners struggle with concepts or topics, the yellow light means that they have understood a topic but still need some clarifications and the green light indicates the topics that learners have understood well. Here is a colored and a black & white version of a traffic light exit slip worksheet. It can be printed in A3 size and learners can stick post-it notes on it.

NEVER HAVE I EVER GAME

The "Never Have I Ever" game is an engaging way for practising the Present Perfect tense in the classroom. To extend the activity, learners can write their own questions and play the game with their classmates at the beginning of the next lesson. Here is a link to a presentation of the game, which includes questions to use in the classroom. In this version, students are asked to sit down or stand up based on their answers. After the game, a class discussion can be held to highlight the most interesting responses.

EUROPEAN SCHOOL RADIO - MAKE IT HEARD 2024

 

This year we participated in the Student Contest “Make it Heard 2024” entitled "The power of friendship". Our 6th graders created a radio message on the value of friendship.

Their message with the title ''The Ship of Friendship'' is about a ship sailing on the high seas. The passengers are carefree until they hear the captain's warning. The ship is in danger and the passengers have to face a great dilemma. Will they choose to save the ship by giving up their selfish behaviour, or will they choose their selfishness and let the ship of friendship be lost at sea? 

You can listen to the radio message at the following link:

We are happy to announce that  a commendation was awarded to the radio message "The Ship of Friendship" for achieving the 13th place in the contest. 

 

European Day of Languages and the Selfish Giant

 26th of September

European Day of Languages

This September Oscar Wilde's masterpiece "The Selfish Giant" inspired my colleagues and I to create a collage with the giant and his garden in Greek, English, French, Italian, Russian and German. Kind words make his garden bloom while hate words make flowers and trees to deteriorate.

Stop motion animation 

"Cooking up hope"

A stop motion animation film created by the pupils of the fifth grade. The life journey of a refugee who had to abandon her homeland in Smyrna due to the  Catastrophe in 1922.  Like many other refugees, she fled to Greece with the hope of a new beginning. The story is based on autobiographical elements of a pupil’s great great grandmother.

"Ano Poli...our neighbourhood"

A short film documentary created by the pupils of the sixth grade! Ano Poli or Upper Town is a colorful neighbourhood in Thessaloniki, Greece with traditional houses, Byzantine walls and monuments and a breath-taking view to the Thermaikos Gulf and Mount Olympus.  That makes it a popular destination for tourists every year! But it's also our pupils' neighbourhood where they enjoy meeting friends and spending time with them!
