RADIO STUDIO AT OUR SCHOOL

 


🎉 We are happy to announce the official opening of our brand new school radio studio! The creation of the studio was planned and brought to life during the 2023-2024 school year with the contribution of parents, teachers and pupils. Pupils from the sixth grade classes participated actively in the process under the guidance and supervision of the Art teacher. The patterns adorning the soundproof panels are inspired by the pupils' own designs . 

The operation of the radio studio opens up new ways of expression and creativity for our school community. Our first radio shows are airing on the welcoming online platform of the European School Radio. Additionally, our studio is ready to host student groups from other primary and secondary schools who wish to record their own radio shows and podcasts.

  • Pupils explored the concept of innovative and eco-friendly cities through a variety of resources such as texts, games and videos and gained a deeper understanding of how technology and sustainability shape the cities of the future. 
  • They found solutions to the sustainability challenges our cities face today. 
  • They teamed up with their partners in transnational groups in order to design our smart and sustainable Dream City. Our transnational team focused on the theme of entertainment.

EU CODE WEEK 2024 - EMOTIONS

 



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:

https://codeweek.eu/ 


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! 


Cross-curricular activities in the 

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.

small group of pupils  designed their own emoji, which they named the “Cool Emoji,” using the ZaplyCode app.
